S&P 500 Momentum Continued Its Dominant Run in May

Momentum posted a 7.4% month-to-date gain, according to S&P Global data, indicating the factor has outperformed other style-box factors. The piece is a market-style commentary rather than a catalyst-driven development, so its direct market impact appears limited. It mainly signals a relative preference for momentum and a passive pullback by competing factors.
