Since the March 9th low, the S&P 500 is up 52.54%.  Since the S&P's low on July 10th, the index is up 17.39%, and since last Monday, it is up 5.34%.



Below is a table highlighting S&P 500 sector performance since the dates listed above.  As  shown, the Financial sector has by far been the best performer since the March 9th low, followed by Materials, Industrials, Consumer Discretionary, and Technology.  Telecom, Consumer Staples, Energy, Health Care, and Utilities have all underperformed the S&P 500.  It's odd that Energy is lumped in with the defensive sectors, even as oil (the commodity) has risen sharply over the same time period.  Since the July 10th low, the same sectors have generally led and lagged, although Energy has performed right inline with the S&P 500 as a whole.  Since last Monday when the S&P 500 had a brief pullback, Energy has been the best performing sector.  Are investors finally ready to rotate into Energy in the current bull market?
