Monthly Market Summary

May 2026 closed as a mixed month for U.S. equities, with 7 bullish days, 5 bearish days and 9 mixed sessions that produced only modest net momentum. The overall market trend was broadly sideways with pockets of strong sector-specific strength—cybersecurity (+39.0%), infrastructure (+37.9%) and the chip supply chain (+25.8%) led gains. Lagging sectors included materials (-4.0%), utilities (-5.8%) and retail (-6.2%), which weighed on breadth. Investors appeared to rotate into tech-adjacent and infrastructure themes while avoiding more defensive and consumer-exposed names.
