Narrations of a Sector ETF Operator | Weekly Market Letter, June 9, 2024

Weekly Performance Summary, XLC Communication Services, XLI Industrials, XLK Technology, XLV Health Care, XLY Consumer Discretionary / / , ,

Softness in economic and fundamental data has been a boon to equity prices in this cycle because the US equity market has a herd of Unicorns in its midst at present.  These Mega Cap. growers insulate the index from the vagaries of various weak economic data if the rate environment doesn’t completely choke out the consumer and thereby the broader economy.  Keep XLK and XLC as cornerstones of the portfolio while the present inflation dynamic remains in force.

SPY June Outlook—mixed with seasonality a tactical negative historically against the backdrop of a longer-term bull market trend

All ETF News / / , ,

Last month was more stalemate between Fed policy and Inflation gauges.  Almost in the background, the equity markets continued higher.  We are now in the summer of an election year which typically sees equity markets consolidate into November 5th.  We will start the month positioned for rates to stay flat and for equities to grind sideways over the intermediate term while respecting the strongest longer-term outperformance trends in XLK and XLC.

All ETF News, Sector Reports, XLC Communication Services / / , , , , , ,

The XLC has improved steadily since the advent of the bull market in early 2023.  Upside participation is broadening out and rates have failed below cycle highs for the 2nd time over the intermediate term alleviating that concern.  The Elev8 Sector Model recommends an OVERWEIGHT position in XLC vs. the S&P 500 of +3.22% our largest overweight allocation for June

XLB Materials SPDR June Outlook—We like the outlook for XLB better than that of XLE in June against a mixed backdrop for commodities prices

All ETF News, Sector Reports, XLB Materials / / , , , , ,

Our new Elev8 sector selection process starts June with an overweight in XLB of 1.68% vs. the sector weight in the S&P 500. We are not quite as sanguine on XLB as that allocation suggests as we are naked the Energy sector in our model and hoping a modest overweight in XLB will hedge us
