In Week 6, we observe total returns of BAF sectors, highlighting the best-performing stock, RPM, and the worst, AMPE. The portfolio's beta is compared to the S&P 500, noting sector weightage differences. We analyze monthly returns of the S&P 500, with a focus on Basic Materials, adversely affected by stocks BAK, PKX, and PBR. In Healthcare, AMPE's poor performance is noted, alongside GSK's strategic investment plans in emerging markets. Additionally, Pepsico raises its dividend, and Honeywell prepares for significant defense budget cuts.
