Discretionaries Take the Lead

Here’s a breakdown of how the S&P 500 sector groups did during the recent down leg from October 17th to the post-election low on November 15th, and then on the recent rally since November 15th.

Sector Oct-17 to Nov-15 Nov-15 to Nov-28
Discretionary -5.41% 5.48%
Industrials -5.79% 4.47%
Staples -5.95% 4.39%
Telecom -6.38% 2.30%
Healthcare -6.59% 3.16%
Financials -6.99% 3.41%
S&P 500 -7.36% 4.18%
Materials -8.55% 4.78%
Energy -8.81% 3.40%
Utilities -9.20% 2.06%
Tech -9.59% 5.47%

What’s interesting to note is that Consumer Discretionaries were down the least, and then up the most. Utilities came very close to being down the most and up the least.
