Tech stocks were the story in May. The NASDAQ outperformed commodities, rising from about 12,000 to just under 13,000 on the month. AI-related issuers specifically stole the show…

The top three performers in May’s Stock Challenge were ImmunoGen (+153%), AI – C3.Ai Inc (+124%), and Palantir Technologies (+89%). The losses on the month were largely in energy and base metals, as commodities like oil (-40% YoY), natural gas (-74% YoY), and coal (-66% YoY) were decimated in May.
