Word of the Day: Advancers (Composite 1,077.15, +3.99%)

This is Lin Yi. A big up day, which makes it a good day to explain "Advancers".

Advancers are simply the companies that closed above yesterday's close. Today: 27 up, 10 down, 0 unchanged. When the index moves, a glance at the advancers tells you whether most companies moved together or a few large ones carried it.

First, today's tape: the Composite closed at 1,077.15, +3.99%; 27 names up, 10 down. The biggest gainer was Cavva Kitchens (CVAA) +10.96%, the biggest decliner Liberty Copper (FCOP) -7.77%.

There was one market-wide headline today: "Money flows back into growth as the city's risk appetite recovers". Money in the city is rotating back out of defensive assets into high-volatility sectors. Growth valuations recover, while demand for precious metals and Utilities as a defensive allocation fades. How the news and the prices relate is something you can check against the numbers above.

Homework: pick a company that barely moved today, look up its sector's average change, and think about why it didn't follow.

Class dismissed. See you tomorrow.
