Market Rotation Sees Healthcare Stocks Rise Amid Semiconductor Weakness
What happened
The S&P 500 and Nasdaq dropped on Wednesday after warmer-than-expected September consumer inflation data. Continued weakness in semiconductor stocks caused the iShares Semiconductor ETF to decline for the seventh straight day. Money shifted into healthcare and consumer staples, with Eli Lilly rising over 3.5% and Johnson & Johnson rising over 1%. Jim Cramer noted plans to exit the Honeywell position.
