On this edition of StockCharts TV's Sector Spotlight, being the first Tuesday of the month, I take on the completed monthly charts for October. I kicks off the show with a look back at last week's rotations on the Relative Rotation Graphs for Asset Classes and Sectors; the main takeaway here is the clear under-performance for defensive sectors, usually a strong sign for the market as a whole as these sectors tend to under-perform when the market is strong. This is underscored by a rotation that starts to get back in favor of stocks over bonds after a short pause. After the break, I talk you through the completed monthly charts for some asset classes and all sectors. At the end of the show, I wrap all that information up in one table and a view on the current market conditions.

Sector Spotlight airs weekly on Tuesdays at 10:30-11:00am ET. Past episodes can be found here.

I also hosted the Tuesday, November 2nd edition of Your Daily Five, where I slice down the Consumer Discretionary sector and dive deeper into the automobiles and auto parts groups, picking 5 stocks that are worth a closer look. Watch below!
