What's Leading and Lagging Today?

by Bespoke Investment Group

Below we highlight the performance of the S&P 500 and its ten sectors today as well as from 4/29 through yesterday when the index fell 6.16%. As shown, Financials, Energy, and Materials were the three sectors that fell the most from 4/29 through yesterday, and they're outperforming on the upside today as well. Industrials and Technology also underperformed during the pullback, but they're not seeing the kind of bounce today that investors in the sectors would hope for. Health Care, on the other hand, outperformed significantly from 4/29 through 6/8 with a decline of just 0.74%, and today the sector continues to outperform the overall market with a gain of 1.33%. Health Care is up 12.4% so far in 2011, which is by far the top performing sector in the market (Energy ranks 2nd with a YTD gain of 9.3%).
