WSJ Your Money Briefing · Q1: Stocks Up More Than 10% · 29 Mar 2019 podcast

That's right.

The S&P 500 actually had its best quarter since 2009.

So it's quite a remarkable rebound, especially when you consider what happened in the last few months of 2018, when there was a lot of pessimism about global growth and central banks.

You know, in the last couple of months in comparison, it seems like a lot of the worries that investors were struggling with at the end of 2018 has somewhat faded to the background.

Yeah, and it's interesting that we've seen a lot of those gains stemming from all sorts of industries.

So whereas at the first half of 2018, we did see a lot of the gains concentrated in tech shares, this quarter, we actually saw all 11 sectors of the S&P 500 and higher.

On the one hand, lower interest rates should be supportive of market gains.

But on the other, slowing growth generally leads to slower profit growth as well.
