After a sharp decline last week, stocks recovered with bounce the last three days. The Sector PerfChart shows the Consumer Discretionary SPDR (XLY), Finance SPDR (XLF) and Basic Materials SPDR (XLB) leading this bounce. Also note that the Consumer Staples SPDR (XLP) and Healthcare SPDR (XLV) are also outperforming because they are up more than the S&P 500 ETF (SPY). The other four sectors are lagging.
