What can we learn from these new 52-week highs?

What's interesting about this slew of ASX 200 stocks at new 52-week highs today is that they hail from different corners of the ASX.

We have a consumer staples giant in Coles, but also airline Qantas, healthcare share Telix Pharmaceuticals, and gold miner Capricorn Metals.

The sector that seems to be most overrepresented is financials, though. Fund managers Magellan and Pinnacle, insurance heavyweights IAG and QBE, and financial services company HUB24 are all at new highs today.

There hasn't been much in the way of big news out of these ASX 200 stocks. As such, it's likely that the general market trend is responsible for their new 52-week highs today. Perhaps the latest inflation figures, which were released this morning, are helping to persuade investors to pile into these popular stocks.

Either way, it has certainly been a good day thus far for many ASX 200 investors.
