Which sector is leading right now?

And what happened next, twice.

Hi ~Contact.FirstName~,

On February 28, 2022, the energy sector (XLE) was strong on every measure in the Sunday scan: it beat the S&P 500 over the last 1, 3 and 6 months and sat above its 50-day average.

Over the next 63 trading days, XLE returned +26.6% while SPY returned -4.6%.

Now March 31, 2025. Energy again read as strong on every measure. Over the next 63 trading days, XLE returned -7.8% while SPY returned +10.7%.

Same reading, opposite outcomes. That is the honest limit of any sector scan: it describes what is strong now. It does not tell you what comes next. In our test of 515 month-end leader readings since 1999, the sector beat SPY over the next three months 51.7% of the time, versus 48.7% for any sector-month.

So why scan at all?

Because the gap between the best and worst sector in a typical year was about 40 percentage points, and last year's leader was the leader again only 3 times in 25 years. Leadership rotates, and a short weekly report keeps you aware of where things stand.

Run your scan this Sunday with the checklist from the first email. If you need it again, here is the page:

Hypothetical or simulated performance results have certain inherent limitations. Unlike an actual performance record, simulated results do not represent actual trading and may not be impacted by brokerage and other slippage fees. Also, since the trades have not actually been executed, the results may have under- or over-compensated for the impact, if any, of certain market factors, such as lack of liquidity. Simulated trading programs in general are also subject to the fact that they are designed with the benefit of hindsight. No representation is being made that any account will or is likely to achieve profits or losses similar to those shown.
