ETFSector.com April Outlook: Consumer Discretionary

  • Research, XLY Consumer Discretionary
The Discretionary sector grades out the worst in our Elev8 Model framework. Inflation risk continues to pressure a consumer already dealing with high prices and a cooling labor market.

ETFSector.com April Outlook: Consumer Staples

  • Research, XLP Consumer Staples
Staples were showing signs of bullish reversal before index level turbulence escalated in March. We think the sector is positioned constructively for April.

ETFSector.com April Outlook: Healthcare

  • Research, XLV Health Care
Healthcare remains a bifurcated sector with strength in drug stocks (Pharma, Biotech) and weakness everywhere else. We like other traditional low vol. sectors better for managing market level turbulence in the near-term.

ETFSector.com April Outlook: Financials

  • Research, XLF Financials
Financials firmed to end March, but we see continued inflationary pressures as an obstacle to credit markets and asset managers in the near-term.

ETFSector.com April Outlook: Information Technology

  • Research, XLK Technology
Software stocks are seeing some bottom-fishing, but the AI infrastructure trade is starting to lose momentum which puts the sector on uncertain footing entering April.

ETFSector.com April Outlook: Communication Services

  • Research, XLC Communication Services
Headwinds to both economic growth and Growth stocks remain in place. We think heavy Mega cap. exposure is likely to stunt the sector's performance in April.

ETFSector.com April Outlook: Utilities

  • Research, XLU Utilities
Utilities finished March with a bid, and we expect it will carry over to April as equities have come under pressure.

ETFSector.com April Outlook: Real Estate

  • Research, XLRE Real Estate
Real Estate stocks have remained somewhat challenged, but we think they may be a decent haven for April as the sector enters the month unloved and under-owned.
