DJU
Sector early indicator? Not usually: Health, Utilities & TransptThe Healthcare sector, Utilities sector, and Transportation sector - here represented by the S&P Health Care Index (S5HLTH, in blue), Dow Jones Utility Average ( DJU, in purple), and the Dow Jones Transportation Average (DTX, in orange) - do not usually act as early indicators against the broader market (here represented by the DJIA in gray, and the NASDAQ in black)... except perhaps for DJU falling from a peak in Jan 2015 (DTX a little earlier in Dec 2014), and DJU again in Dec 2017. (Around the turn of the century, DTX also peaked fairly early - in 1998.)
