A rare alignment of relative bargains and timely performance
As always some sectors look better than others. According to our analysis Financials (XLF) and Health Care (XLV) lead the pack in an otherwise richly valued market. What is unusual however is that these relative bargains also align with what’s working: XLV has been a surprisingly strong performer so far this year, beating the S&P 500 SPDR (SPY) by about 2.9 percentage points, while XLF, though a relative laggard so far in 2017, is the best performing Sector SPDR by far since the election.
On the other side, Energy (XLE) remains our least favorite sector, and is also the worst performing sector both year-to-date and since the election. And with renewed pressure on oil prices in recent days it doesn’t seem like sentiment is going to turn around in the near future.
