Record number of 'negative-beta' S&P 500 stocks signals hidden volatility

The number of S&P 500 stocks with a negative beta — meaning they move in the opposite direction to the index on a given day — has hit a new record high. This divergence means underlying market volatility is significantly higher than the index's overall performance suggests. Analysts say the trend is a warning signal for investors who assume broad index gains reflect calm across all stocks.
