It was a wild week for the sectors as investors rotated in and out of Technology and Communications stocks. All sectors ended the week with gains. Consumer Discretionary (XLY) was the big winner. Large stimulus checks will be delivered soon that are expected to be poured into the economy via consumer spending on both needs and wants. Technology (XLK) and...
If anyone has been watching the SPDR sectors lately, XLRE has quietly outperformed. Strength in REITS usually signifies a strengthening economy. Maybe this is an under the radar reopening play? Options premiums are dirt cheap and might be worth a look. Anyway, the charts speak for themselves.
The first chart shows $XLRE breaking through resistance. I find the base formed before breaking through to be bullish. The second chart shows XLRE relative to the SPY. Looks like the long ward down trend is over. Can XLRE outperform moving forward? Thoughts? S&P 500 Sector Performance: www.tradingview.com AMEX:SPY AMEX:XLRE
Real Estate (XLRE) and Utilities (XLU) are the top sectors for the week. Ouch! None of the sectors ended the week with gains as the S&P 500 pulled back -3.31%. Utilities led as the market opened on Monday morning. Communications (XLC) took a very brief lead on Tuesday, but the Real Estate took the top spot. Consumer Staples (XLP) attempted to take the lead on...
Communications (XLC) led the week with a big +5.44% gain, but only after a big pullback the week prior. The sector was led by Alphabet (GOOGL) and Facebook (FB) with +9.55% and +9.21% gains respectively. Those two companies make up 44% of the ETF. Netflix (NFLX) also had a huge gain of +13.49% but only represents 5% of the ETF. Technology (XLK) finished the week...
The real estate sector is in trouble! The sector is presumed to climb up another 20% (more or less) before plummeting under the “unloading zone”
The sectors had a wild race this week with the backdrop of a up and down market with several rotations between small caps, mid caps and large caps. Energy (XLE) would ultimately be the winner, supported by production cuts in Saudi Arabia, higher than expected demand for oil, and some positive news from OPEC. There was a significant pullback on Friday after SEC...
Energy (XLE) finds itself back at the top of the sector list for the first week of 2021. It's not something you might expect as the blue wave hit US politics, which doesn't bode well for traditional energy stocks. However, crude oil is over $50 a barrel for the first time since April after Saudi Arabia surprisingly cut output. The blue wave did have some expected...
I normally publish this chart on weekly basis as part of my Week in Review work but I thought it was interesting to look at it today, in the context of the Georgia run-off election results. There is also the turmoil in DC, but that did not seem to impact the sector leaders list (the afternoon dip impacted all equally). Energy (XLE) is leading over the two days,...
Despite starting the week in last place, Energy (XLE) rose to the top of the sector list starting from Tuesday as the first vaccine doses were made available in the UK. That positive vaccine news boosted the sector that is likely to benefit from the increased activity in travel and leisure sectors. Communications (XLC) led at the beginning of the week, but could...

Energy (XLE) put in a third week of huge gains and topped the other sectors. The sector is up over 40% in the last three weeks. It did pull back a bit on Wed and Fri. Financials (XLF) also sticks out as a winner for the week, far above the rest of the sectors. The worst performing sectors were Real Estate (XLRE) and Utilities (XLU). Utilities briefly emerged as...

It was a back and forth race for the SPDR ETFs this past week. In the end, Real Estate (XLRE) was the winner. Utilities (XLU) had a week of steady growth but could quite beat out Real Estate. Technology (XLK) did well earlier in the week but sold off at the end on bad news. Energy (XLE) had relatively big gains on Friday, but overall still a loser for the week.
