The NDR Catastrophic Stop model is based on the combination of two proprietary composites: 1) the Internal Composite (technical and price-related indicators) and 2) the External Composite (fundamental, economic, interest rate, and behavioral/sentiment indicators). Each composite is one-half of the overall score.

The sector model maintained mixed leadership this month. Entering January, Financials, Information Technology, Communication Services, Consumer Discretionary, and Utilities are above benchmark weight. Real Estate, Materials, Energy, and Consumer Staples are below benchmark weight.
