agree  Robert Forstag: I would go with "performance" rather than "results" or "strength" at the end of the sentence. "Enjoyed" the best way to translate "ha hecho gala"here.

The market has had a field day, displaying unusual strength...


Explanation:
"To have a field day" is an idiomatic way of expressing that someone or something has enjoyed unusual or unexpected success.

Example sentence(s):
  • American Heritage Dictionary: "Informal A time of great pleasure, activity, or opportunity: "The media had a field day with the sensational story'."
  • "Skeptics had a field day when a scientist claimed in 1996 that gravity could be negated.Now his findings are being investigated in laboratories worldwide."
