One thing I've learned from years of watching/trading both the futures and the stocks is: Either can lead the market... just at different times. It all depends upon where the money is flowing and what kind of positions are being put on, taken off, unwound, hedged/unhedged, etc. A lot of times, lightening strikes in Chicago (the futures lead, and cash lags). At other time, it strikes in "New York" (real stock buying with futures lagging). There are a host of reasons why one can lead at one time vs. the other. But they're linked, and the arbitrage guys insure they stay tightly linked. I've also observed many times what Oz was talking about: individual stocks/sectors lead the market up/down in front of the the major averages, and the futures and even sectors.
