What stands out

Charles Schwab's short explainer nails a simple pivot: the so-called Mag 7 no longer supplies all the S&P winners, and investors are starting to look elsewhere. That shift matters because where money moves matters for intermediaries, not just megacaps, brokers and wealth managers can see higher trading, advisory flows, and margin activity when breadth widens. Toss in fresh macro headlines about oil, Fed turbulence, and fiscal stress and you have a recipe for bouts of rotation rather than a single-stock market.
