A broad stock-market rally Friday had the S&P 500 on the verge of exiting its longest bear-market run since 1948. Investors want to know if the move is for real or merely a fake out.<\/p>\n

The S&P 500
\n SPX,
\n +1.45%<\/bg-quote>
\n advanced 61.35 points, or 1.5%, to end at 4,282.37 Friday, its highest closing level since Aug. 18, 2022, according to Dow Jones Market Data.\u00a0A close above 4,292.48 would mark a 20% rally off the bear-market closing low of 3,577.03 set on Oct. 12, 2022. That would meet a widely used definition of the end of a bear market.<\/p>\n

\n

Friday\u2019s rally was attributed to a surprisingly robust May jobs report, a resolution of the debt-ceiling deal showdown, and bets that the Federal Reserve will not raise interest rates at its next policy meeting.<\/p>\n

Including Friday, the S&P 500 had been in bear-market territory for 244 trading days, the longest run since one that ended on May 15, 1948, which lasted 484 trading days, according to Dow Jones Market Data. Historically, the average bear market has lasted 142 trading days.<\/p>\n

\u201cA strong expectation that the debt-ceiling deal will become law this afternoon upon President Biden\u2019s signature is generating optimism among investors. While job and wage growth remained persistent in May, investors are focusing on the increasing unemployment rate reflected in this morning\u2019s Employment Situation Report, which has boosted sentiment,\u201d wrote Jos\u00e9 Torres, Senior Economist at Interactive Brokers.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe tick-up is fueling wagers for a Fed pause at its June 14 meeting, with odds of 72% favoring that outcome,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Fed-funds futures traders priced in a 31% probability the central bank will lift its benchmark interest rate by 25 basis points at its June 13-14 policy meeting, according to the CME FedWatch tool. That\u2019s up from 20.4% on Thursday afternoon. Earlier this week, the market had priced in a roughly 64% probability of a quarter-percentage-point rate hike.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Quincy Krosby, chief global strategist at LPL Financial, told MarketWatch that Friday\u2019s \u201cwidespread\u201d stock-market rally is \u201cexactly what the market is hoping for\u201d as a narrow market leadership is considered by many market analysts as a missing piece of the recovery puzzle.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The S&P 500 has risen 11.5% year-to-date, with a substantial portion of total returns being driven by a handful of large-cap technology firms such as NVIDIA Corp.
\n NVDA,
\n -1.11%<\/bg-quote>,<\/span>
\n Alphabet Inc.
\n GOOGL,
\n +0.77%<\/bg-quote>,<\/span>
\n and Apple Inc.
\n AAPL,
\n +0.48%<\/bg-quote>,<\/span>
\n after the recent burst of investor optimism in artificial intelligence has driven the surge in technology stocks.<\/p>\n

However, with the exception of those big names, the index is actually flat so far this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The market-capitalization weighted S&P 500 is beating its equal-weighted counterpart
\n SP500EW,
\n +2.16%<\/bg-quote>,<\/span>
\n which has declined by 1% year-to-date, by over 10 percentage points in 2023. That\u2019s the biggest margin of outperformance year to date on record, according to Dow Jones Market Data.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, Krosby said the strong surge in tech that has been powering the S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite
\n COMP,
\n +1.07%<\/bg-quote>
\n is finally spreading to the broader market on Friday as the jump in Russell 2000
\n RUT,
\n +3.56%<\/bg-quote>,<\/span>
\n the small-cap index, is confirming an \u201coverall positive underpinning for the market.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Russell 2000 jumped 3.6% on Friday, logging its best daily performance since November 10, 2022, according to Dow Jones Market Data.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cMarket needs to see that the rally is more than just those mega tech names, [but] in the broader market, especially the Russell 2000, because that\u2019s so closely associated with distress in the credit markets and the banks. That helps confirm this rally,\u201d Krosby told MarketWatch via phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it were just those five names, I think investors and traders would be worried even though the \u2018fear of missing out\u2019 will get them in there, but to have this broad rally today is very helpful in terms of investor psychology and the tone of the market,\u201d she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Dow Jones Industrial Average
\n DJIA,
\n +2.12%<\/bg-quote>
\n finished up over 700 points, or 2.1%, to 33,762.76, while the Nasdaq Composite jumped 1.1%, to end at 13,240.77. <\/p>\n

Caution is warranted. Analysts have noted that not all bear exits lead to lasting bull markets. <\/p>\n

The S&P 500 has also been subject to fake bear-market exits, but with far less frequency than the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite, noted Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at CFRA, in a May note.<\/p>\n

Of the 14 bear markets since WWII, only two \u2014 2000-02 and 2007-09 \u2013\u2013 suffered bogus bottoms, Stovall said. During the 2000-02 episode, investors saw two such fake-outs, but only one during the 2007-09 period.<\/p>\n

The potential for such fake-outs explains why there\u2019s far from a universal embrace of the 20% rule. Some analysts contend a new bull market doesn\u2019t begin until the previous high is taken out, while others\u00a0use more complicated criteria.<\/p>\n
