ETF Trade Watch
Utilities Select Sector SPDR (XLU)
Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR (XLY)
The current pullback may have a little more to go, or it may end right away. Regardless, Utilities lead in weak markets, Discretionary performs well otherwise.
So, depending on how to unfolds, traders might want to keep both the XLU and the XLY on their watchlist today.
Good luck!
