XLY represents the Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR ETF.
XLP represents the Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR ETF.
XLY is the ETF which tracks the consumer
discretionary sector XLY’s top 5 holdings are...
Comcast (CMCSK),
Walt Disney (DIS),
Amazon.com (AMZN),
Home Depot (HD),
McDonald’s (MCD).
XLP tracks the consumer staples sector, with
top holdings of...
Procter & Gamble (PG),
Coca-Cola (KO),
Philip Morris (PM),
Wal-Mart (WMT),
CVS Caremark (CVS).
So how does this affect markets?
When the chart value rises its a clear indicator that people are happy to spend freely and without caution, investors will look to increase risk, where as if the value starts to go down and decline, people are spending more on everyday essential items and thus stock markets are in shrinkage, decline and investors are taking LESS risk.
we can clearly see how this chart reflects current highs on the stock indices if we compare to the current S&P500, Russel, Dow Jones and so on
