The interview context below is evergreen — the number will be back shortly.
The 30-second take
More sensitive to interest rates than the S&P because growth stocks' future cash flows discount more when rates rise. When the NDX outperforms the S&P, it usually signals a softer rate outlook or AI-led enthusiasm. The classic interview framing: 'the NDX / SPX ratio is a proxy for tech risk-on'. Moves in excess of the broader market are almost always rate- or sentiment-driven, not earnings-driven.
