While artificial intelligence (AI) has been a key driver of US stocks, a wider range of sectors is starting to power the S&P 500, says Shawn Tuteja, head of ETF and Custom Basket Volatility Trading in Goldman Sachs FICC and Equities, on The Markets podcast. Tuteja also discusses the robust strength in earnings across 9 of 11 sectors in the S&P 500, elevated volatility among AI-related themes, and the interplay between oil prices, longer-maturity bond yields, and Federal Reserve policy.
