The U.S. stock market suffered the worst start to year in over two decades, with the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq 100 dropping 0.6% and 1.7%, respectively, on Tuesday.
This downturn was primarily instigated by a widespread sell-off in the technology sector, as investors adopted a more cautious stance following a robust market rally in the final two months of 2023.
Interestingly, not all segments of the equity market were equally affected by this early-year turbulence. Value-related stocks managed to weather the storm, avoiding losses and even posting modest gains during the first trading session of the year.
Notably, the iShares Core S&P U.S. Value ETF (NYSE:IUSV) closed 0.6% higher on Jan. 2, reaching new all-time highs. On the flip side, the iShares Core S&P U.S. Growth ETF (NYSE:IUSG) experienced a stark contrast, with a 1.6% decline on the same day. This performance left it trailing 13% below its previous record high, set in November 2021.
One noteworthy indicator that reflects the divergence between these two equity styles is the value-to-growth ratio, which measures the relative strength of value stocks compared to growth stocks. On the first trading day of the year, this ratio surged by 2.2%, marking its most robust single-day performance since October 2022 and reaching levels last seen in May 2023.
This demonstrates that after the strong tech-led rally in 2023, investors are reevaluating their preferences and potentially shifting towards value stocks as they seek stability and potentially undervalued opportunities in 2024.

美國股市經歷了二十多年來最糟糕的開局,標準普爾500指數和納斯達克100指數週二分別下跌0.6%和1.7%。
這種低迷主要是由科技行業的廣泛拋售引發的,因爲在2023年最後兩個月的市場強勁反彈之後,投資者採取了更爲謹慎的立場。
有趣的是,並非股票市場的所有細分市場都同樣受到年初動盪的影響。價值相關股票設法渡過難關,避免了損失,甚至在今年的第一個交易日中小幅上漲。
值得注意的是,iShares Core標準普爾美國價值ETF(紐約證券交易所代碼:IUSV)在1月2日收盤上漲0.6%,創下歷史新高。另一方面,iShares Core標準普爾美國增長型ETF(紐約證券交易所代碼:IUSG)形成鮮明對比,同日下跌1.6%。這一表現使其比2021年11月創下的歷史新高低了13%。
反映這兩種股票風格差異的一個值得注意的指標是價值增長率,它衡量了價值股票與成長型股票相比的相對強度。在今年的第一個交易日,該比率飆升了2.2%,這是自2022年10月以來最強勁的單日表現,並達到2023年5月的最高水平。
這表明,在2023年科技股主導的強勁反彈之後,投資者正在重新評估他們的偏好,並有可能轉向價值型股票,因爲他們在2024年尋求穩定和可能被低估的機會。
