When it comes to the $SPX sectors, I want to focus on the sectors that are outperforming the $SPY itself. 

Which sectors are leading the $SPX higher. I do not focus much on the lagging sectors unless they start to show promise and do catch-up trades. I do not do pair trades.

For the year-to-date it may surprise many that the $XLI is the best performer up +16%. The $XLK is 3rd up +11%.

X of the XX sectors are performing better than the $SPX for the year:

$XLI +16%
$XLC +12%
$XLK +11%
$XLU +11%
$XLF +9%
$XLB +9%

$XLV is the worst performer and the only one in the red. Does that mean that $XLV will do a catch-up trade? I will explore in another post.
