Returns of S&P 500 index still largely depend on IT-companies. Bloomberg reports.

Goldman Sachs notices that gain of S&P 500 index in the first half of 2018, which reached just 3%, was due to just 10 shares of the gauge. Amazon.com Inc. accounts for 36% of return, Microsoft Corp. – 18%, Apple Inc. and Netflix Inc. – 15% each, Facebook Inc. – 8%. Other leaders are represented by Alphabet Inc., Mastercard Inc., Visa Inc., Adobe Systems Inc. and NVIDIA Corp.

Experts in Goldman think that these results prove continuous success of large corporations that have strong financial foot.
