4월을 마무리하면서, 이번달에 가장 성과가 뛰어난 섹터와 산업 교환 펀드들을 순위화 할 시간이다.



주가를 더 넓은 시각에서 보면, S&amp;P 500 지수는 SPDR S&amp;P 500 ETF 트러스트(NYSE:SPY)로 표현되는 4월에 약 3% 하락하여 4월을 마감했다. 이로써 지난 5개월간 상승 기간이 끝난 셈이다.

INVESCO INDUSTRIA S&P US SECTOR  ETF

Friday was a lackluster session on Wall Street, with major U.S. averages lingering in negative territory at midday trading in New York. This session coincided with the simultaneous expiration of a large volume of options and futures contracts, commonly referred <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40959748/exclusive-options-expert-warns-of-terrible-week-after-fridays-triple-witching">to as &#8220;triple witching.&#8221;</a>
However, rather than a sharp spike in volatility, stocks edged only slightly lower, failing to trigger a rise in the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX).
Investor sentiment remained defensive, with 10 out of 11 sectors of the S&amp;P 500 falling, while utilities were the only sector to post a positive performance.
Dovish remarks from Federal Reserve Governor Christopher Waller indicated that he expects &#8220;very low&#8221; August Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) data. 
Waller also hinted at the possibility of a 25 basis point rate cut in the next meeting or two if the data continues to come in as expected, with a stronger size of cut if the labor market weakens and inflation softens more rapidly.
Waller's comments sent gold surging past $2,600 per ounce, marking new all-time highs.
Meanwhile, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) remained stable at $63,000.

Wall Street Falls On Triple Witching Day, Fed's Waller Pushes Gold To Fresh Record Highs, FedEx Plummets: What's Driving Markets Friday?

Looking for broad exposure to the Industrials - Broad segment of the equity market? You should consider the Fidelity MSCI Industrials Index ETF (ARCA:FIDU), a passively managed exchange traded fund launched on 10/21/2013.
Passively managed ETFs are becoming increasingly popular with institutional as well as retail investors due to their low cost, transparency, flexibility and tax efficiency. They are excellent vehicles for long term investors.
Sector ETFs are also funds of convenience, offering many ways to gain low risk and diversified exposure to a broad group of companies in particular sectors. Industrials - Broad is one of the 16 broad Zacks sectors within the Zacks Industry classification. It is currently ranked 13, placing it in bottom 19%.
<h2>Index Details</h2>
The fund is sponsored by Fidelity. It has amassed assets over $1.12 billion, making it one of the average sized ETFs attempting to match the performance of the Industrials - Broad segment of the equity market. FIDU seeks to match the performance of the MSCI USA IMI Industrials Index before fees and expenses.
The MSCI USA IMI Industrials Index represents the performance of the industrial sector in the U.S. equity market.
<h2>Costs</h2>
When considering an ETF&#39;s total return, expense ratios are an important factor, and cheaper funds can significantly outperform their more expensive counterparts in the long term if all other factors remain equal.
Annual operating expenses for this ETF are 0.08%, making it one of the least expensive products in the space.
It has a 12-month trailing dividend yield of 1.25%.
<h2>Sector Exposure and Top Holdings</h2>
It is important to delve into an ETF&#39;s holdings before investing despite the many upsides to these kinds of funds like diversified exposure, which minimizes single stock risk. And, most ETFs are very transparent products that disclose their holdings on a daily basis.
This ETF has heaviest allocation in the Industrials sector--about 100% of the portfolio.
Looking at individual holdings, General Electric Co&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ge#NYSE">GE</a>) accounts for about 3.64% of total assets, followed by Caterpillar Inc&nbsp;(NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/cat#NYSE">CAT</a>) and Rtx Corp (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/rtx#NYSE">RTX</a>).
The top 10 holdings account for about 27.06% of total assets under management.
<h2>Performance and Risk</h2>
So far this year, FIDU has gained about 14.28%, and is up about 26.57% in the last one year (as of 09/16/2024). During this past 52-week period, the fund has traded between $51.08 and $70.26.
The ETF has a beta of 1.10 and standard deviation of 18.10% for the trailing three-year period, making it a medium risk choice in the space. With about 371 holdings, it effectively diversifies company-specific risk.
<h2>Alternatives</h2>
Fidelity MSCI Industrials Index ETF holds a Zacks ETF Rank of 2 (Buy), which is based on expected asset class return, expense ratio, and momentum, among other factors. Because of this, FIDU is a great option for investors seeking exposure to the Industrials ETFs segment of the market. There are other additional ETFs in the space that investors could consider as well.
Vanguard Industrials ETF (ARCA:VIS) tracks MSCI US Investable Market Industrials 25/50 Index and the Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF (ARCA:XLI) tracks Industrial Select Sector Index. Vanguard Industrials ETF has $5.37 billion in assets, Industrial Select Sector SPDR ETF has $19.29 billion. VIS has an expense ratio of 0.10% and XLI charges 0.09%.

Should You Invest in the Fidelity MSCI Industrials Index ETF?

Wall Street is seeing a relatively timid session, with the major indices displaying a slight negative performance. 
While a timid rebound in semiconductor stocks is taking shape, aided by NVIDIA Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>)&#8217;s pause of the sell-off in the previous session, the Dow Jones edged lower after reaching record <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/08/40633329/us-stocks-rally-dow-jones-achieves-record-highs-as-gdp-outperforms-nvidia-falls-whats-driv">highs the day before.</a>
The weak risk sentiment on Friday threatens to end the S&amp;P 500 and Nasdaq 100's streak of three consecutive weekly rallies
The AI darling rose by 1% by midday in New York, contributing to the positive momentum in chipmakers, buoyed by strong earnings from Marvell Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) and MongoDB Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MDB#NASDAQ">MDB</a>).
On the data front, the Federal Reserve's preferred inflation gauge — the Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) Price Index — remained flat in July, breaking a three-month streak of declines.
While the index came in slightly below expectations of an increase, personal spending and income data accelerated more than anticipated, indicating that the positive momentum among U.S. consumers extended into the first month of the current quarter.
The dollar gained 0.3% on the back of the economic data, as traders trimmed expectations on a large 50-basis-point rate cut in September. The greenback&#8217;s strength pressured commodities: gold dropped 0.7%, while oil declined by 2.7%.
The sentiment in the cryptocurrency market remains negative, with Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) down 2.3%.

US Stocks Rally, Dow Jones Achieves Record Highs As GDP Outperforms, Nvidia Falls: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

Market sentiment on Wall Street turned negative on Monday morning as traders grapple with escalating global geopolitical risks.
In a <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/news/joint-statement-on-the-middle-east-12-august-2024">joint statement</a> issued Monday, the United Kingdom, France and Germany urged Iran and its allies to avoid actions that could further escalate tensions and jeopardize prospects for a cease-fire and the release of hostages. The statement comes amid rising concern that Iran and its proxies could launch an attack on Israel in retaliation for the killing of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran late last month.
On the macroeconomic front, the New York Fed&#8217;s consumer expectations survey indicated a decline in mid-term inflation expectations but rising concerns <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/08/40318529/medium-term-inflation-expectations-drop-to-record-low-while-debt-concerns-rise-stocks-fall-gold-">about future debt repayments.</a>
In response to the heightened geopolitical risks, West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude, as tracked by the United States Oil Fund (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/USO#NYSE">USO</a>), surged 2.3% to $78 per barrel, marking its fourth <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/large-cap/24/08/40313301/oil-prices-eye-fourth-straight-day-of-gains-as-geopolitical-risks-overshadow-opecs-cooler-demand-f">consecutive session of gains</a>.
Gold also attracted safe-haven demand, rising 1.5% and nearing all-time highs, now just 0.6% away.
The S&amp;P 500 edged up 0.2%, paring earlier gains in the morning session, while bonds, as tracked by the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>), gained 0.3%.

US Stocks Trim Gains As Iran Mulls Attack On Israel; Gold, Oil Rally: What's Driving Markets Monday?

After a blistering Thursday that saw the S&amp;P 500 close with its best session in nearly two years — up 2.3% — Wall Street&#8217;s price action turned sluggish on a Friday lacking <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">market-moving economic events.</a>
By midday in New York, major indices were slightly positive or hovering around the flat line, signaling a slowdown in the bullish sentiment compared to the previous session.
Since the beginning of the week, the S&amp;P 500 is down 0.5%, with a few hours of trading left to determine whether the U.S. stock market can avoid closing in the red for the fourth consecutive week.
Meanwhile, there's a renewed demand for long-dated U.S. Treasury bonds, with yields declining by about 6 basis points on both the 10-year and 30-year notes. As a result, the popular iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) rallied 1%, snapping a three-session losing streak.
The dollar slightly weakened, slipping 0.5% against the Japanese yen after three consecutive days of gains.
Traders now see nearly equal odds of a 50-basis-point or a 25-basis-point rate cut by the Federal Reserve in September, according to the CME Group&#8217;s FedWatch tool.
In commodities, oil is up 0.7%, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) light crude poised for its third consecutive session of gains.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) plunged 2% after rallying nearly 12%, marking its best-performing day since February 2022.

Wall Street Momentum Stalls After Thursday's Rally, Palantir Jumps To 3-Year Highs, Bonds Rally: What's Driving Markets Friday?

Wall Street opened higher at the start of a data-heavy week, with traders adopting an optimistic tone ahead of crucial earnings<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/40016926/markets-brace-for-crucial-interest-rate-shake-up-what-to-expect-from-federal-reserv"> reports and economic events.</a>
The S&amp;P 500 rose 0.4% by midday trading in New York, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 climbed 0.8%. The blue-chip index inched 0.1% up, and small caps slipped 0.8%.
Four out of the six largest U.S. corporations – including Microsoft Corp., Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>), Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and Amazon Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) – are set to report their latest quarterly earnings between Tuesday and Thursday.
Meanwhile, the Federal Reserve will hold its two-day Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting, concluding Wednesday with the rate statement and Fed Chair Jerome Powell&#8216;s press conference.
The Fed is widely expected to keep interest rates steady, but traders will closely watch for any signals of a potential rate cut in September. Market-implied odds currently fully factor in a September rate cut, as shown by CME Group&#8217;s FedWatch tool.
Additionally, crucial labor market statistics will be released this week, including the June Job Openings and Labor Turnover Survey (JOLTs) on Tuesday, July private payroll numbers from Automatic Data Processing Inc. on Wednesday, and the highly anticipated official employment report for July on Friday.
Treasury yields were mostly flat for shorter-dated maturities, while yields for both the 10-year and 30-year tenors fell by 2 basis points on Monday. The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) rose 0.4%.
In commodities markets, oil fell 1.1%, with West Texas Intermediate (WTI) light crude dropping below $76, hitting a fresh 7-week low as bearish demand developments in China outweighed supply concerns from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/40015199/oil-prices-remain-under-pressure-despite-rising-middle-east-tensions-a-bearish-tria">rising Middle East tensions.</a> U.S. natural gas prices also fell 1.4%.
Gold inched 0.5% lower, while copper and silver declined 0.7% and 1.4%, respectively. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) held steady at around $68,000, failing to rally significantly despite bullish headlines over the weekend.

Wall Street Rises Ahead Of Big Tech Earnings, Fed Meeting; Tesla Rebounds, Oil Prices Drop To 7-Week Lows: What's Driving Markets Monday?

After a turbulent week in the markets, the bulls reclaimed dominance on Wall Street during Friday&#8217;s session, with indices and sectors trading in positive territory as investors welcomed the latest corporate earnings results and further confirmation of inflation progressing toward <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">the Fed&#8217;s 2% target.</a>
In June, the Personal Consumption Expenditure price index – the Fed&#8217;s preferred measure of inflation – dropped to 2.5% year-on-year, as anticipated, marking the lowest level since February 2021. The core component slightly exceeded expectations, remaining <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/07/39987142/feds-favorite-inflation-gauge-keeps-falling-but-fed-wants-durable-downward-trend-economist-says">steady at 2.6% annually.</a>
Investors are unwavering in their expectations for a Fed interest rate cut in September, assigning it a 100% probability and factoring in nearly three cumulative rate cuts by year-end.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average led the charge on Friday, with the blue-chip index surging 1.9%, setting the stage for its strongest session this year. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 rebounded significantly, climbing 1.6%, which halted the tech sector&#8217;s decline but wasn&#8217;t enough to reverse a negative weekly close. 
The Russell 2000, as tracked by the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>), also posted a solid gain of 1.3%.
Rate-sensitive sectors continued their rally, with homebuilders, as tracked by the SPDR Homebuilders ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XHB#NYSE">XHB</a>), rising over 3% for the day, reaching all-time highs and marking their third <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/equities/24/07/39988310/homebuilder-stocks-rally-to-record-highs-on-rate-cut-frenzy-but-housing-sales-still-struggle">consecutive positive weekly close.</a>
In the bond market, Treasuries rose as yields dipped slightly, especially in longer-dated maturities.
Gold also rallied, increasing by 1%, while oil prices dropped by 1%. Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) rose 2.5%, marking its second consecutive positive session after three negative ones.

Wall Street Enjoys Late-Week Rally On Benign Inflation Data, Dow Jones Eyes Best Session Of 2024, Tech Unwinding Stalls: What's Driving Markets Friday?

Wall Street strongly rebounded Thursday after Wednesday&#8217;s slump, driven by stronger-than-expected economic growth in the last quarter, countering <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/24/07/39957034/us-economy-expands-2-8-in-q2-tops-estimates-weekly-jobless-claim-fall">concerns of a slowdown.</a>
The U.S. economy posted a notable 2.8% real growth in the second quarter, doubling the first quarter&#8217;s pace and exceeding the 2% growth estimate.
Adding to the positive outlook, the Personal Consumption Expenditure (PCE) price index showed cooling price pressures, dropping from 3.4% to 2.6%, signaling progress toward the 2% target.
At midday, major U.S. averages traded positively, with all eleven sectors of the S&amp;P 500 posting gains. The S&amp;P 500 index was up 1%, and the Dow gained a robust 1.3%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 inched 0.9% higher, while small caps, tracked by the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>), rallied 2.4%.
Treasury yields fell significantly, with the 30-year yield down 6 basis points to 4.48%, boosting the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) by 1.8%.
Gold fell 1.6%, likely impacted by the rebound in riskier assets, silver plummeted 3.7%, while oil prices rose 0.7% to $77.80.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) fell 1% to $64,750, marking its fourth straight session of losses.

Stocks Rebound As US Economy Flexes Muscles, Small Caps Rally, Gold Falls: What's Driving Markets Thursday?

A market strategist is providing insight into which sectors could benefit based on whether Donald Trump or Joe Biden wins the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/2024-election">2024 presidential election.</a>
What Happened: There is a lot of focus<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/07/39804113/exclusive-elon-musk-is-burning-his-own-blue-bridges-by-donating-to-trump-says-market-expert"> on electric vehicles</a> ahead of the 2024 election with a win by Trump seen as a negative for the sector, but a potential positive for Tesla.
Freedom Capital Markets Chief Global Strategist Jay Woods told Benzinga there are several sectors to watch ahead of the 2024 election.
Woods sees a potential "Trump bump" for financials and healthcare stocks if the former president returns to office.
The market strategist recalled Operation Warp Speed, which mainly focused on COVID-19 treatments, but also fast-tracked other studies.
"I think the health care sector will thrive under Trump,&#8221; <a href="https://x.com/jaywoods3">Woods </a>said. Financial regulations could be minimized under the former president, benefiting financial stocks, he added.
On the other hand, a potential 2024 election win by Biden could be good for industrials and chip stocks, Woods told Benzinga.
He said<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/chips-act"> the Chips Act</a> has been great for many semiconductor stocks and a Biden victory could continue on that momentum.
The market strategist said recent comments by Trump and his vice-presidential pick J.D. Vance could impact the chip sector with potential trade wars with China.

Why It's Important: Woods noted that investors should consider different sectors that could benefit under the 2024 election winner. The market strategist also cautioned that predictions do not always align with the actual outcomes.
Energy stocks experienced a surge leading up to Trump&#8217;s election in 2016 but did not perform as well as predicted afterward, Woods said.
"Energy didn't do as well under Trump as they thought," he added.
Electric vehicle and clean energy stocks were favored by investors ahead of the 2020 election and Biden's win. But EV stocks under Biden haven't performed as strong as expected since the 2020 election, Woods noted.
"They haven't really paid off."
The SPDR Select Sector Fund &#8211; Financial (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLF#NYSE">XLF</a>) and SPDR Select Sector Fund &#8211; Health Care (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLV#NYSE">XLV</a>) are two of the larger ETFs that track the sectors Woods predicts could do well under Trump. 
The SPDR Select Sector Fund &#8211; Industrial (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XLI#NYSE">XLI</a>) and VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NASDAQ">SMH</a>) are two of the larger ETFs that track the sectors Woods predicts could do well under Biden.

EXCLUSIVE: Market Strategist Predicts 4 Winning Sectors Based On Trump Or Biden 2024 Election Victory

It&#8217;s deep red on Wall Street on Wednesday, with tech stocks sharply falling amid a semiconductor broad-based selloff following news that the Biden administration is hastening<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39821315/ai-earthquake-semiconductors-suffer-worst-selloff-in-years-on-stricter-us-chip-expo"> export restrictions to China. </a>
Bloomberg reported on Wednesday that the U.S. administration has advised its allies to impose the strictest trade restrictions possible if companies such as Tokyo Electron Ltd. (OTCPK: TOELY) and ASML Holding NV (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) persist in supplying advanced chips to China. Shares of the Dutch chipmaker ASML Holding fell nearly 12%, notching the worst decline since March 2020. 
The tech-heavy Nasdaq 100 tumbled by 2.7% at 12:45 p.m. ET, marking the worst session since late August 2023. The semiconductor industry was the hardest hit. The iShares Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SOXX#NYSE">SOXX</a>) and the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SMH#NYSE">SMH</a>) both plummeted over 6%, marking their worst day since October 2022.

Nvidia Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) alone plummeted 7%, accounting for a $180 billion loss.
The S&amp;P 500 dropped 1.2%, while blue-chip stocks of the Dow Jones rose 0.6% to 41,200 points, extending their all-time highs and marking a sixth consecutive session of gains. Meanwhile, small caps took a breather, with the Russell 2000 index falling 1%, ending a five-day winning streak.
U.S. natural gas futures fell over 6%, hitting two-month lows, due to lower-than-expected cooling demand amid milder weather forecasts for the next two weeks.
Oil prices rallied 1.9% after U.S. inventories declined again last week. Gold edged down 0.5% from the all-time highs reached on Tuesday. The dollar fell 0.4%, with the dollar-yen pair dropping 1.3%.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) eased 1.2%.

Nasdaq 100 Suffers Worst Day In 11 Months As Chipmakers Tumble On China Curbs; Magnificent 7 Wipe Out $500B : What's Driving Markets Wednesday?

Wall Street continues to experience a series of memorable days, with the bulls riding the rally with increasing confidence, certain that the Federal Reserve will begin cutting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/interest-rates">interest rates in September.</a>
Fed futures currently indicate a 100% probability that policymakers will cut interest rates in two months, according to the CME Group&#8216;s FedWatch tool.
This time, blue-chip stocks and gold are stealing the spotlight by breaking their all-time highs, while small caps, as tracked by the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>), have posted their fifth consecutive day in the green, marking their best five-day rally <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/07/39797464/small-caps-are-having-a-moment-russell-2000-notches-best-5-day-rally-in-over-4-year">in over four years.</a>
The Dow Jones Industrial Average surged to 40,800 points at 12:30 p.m. ET, up 1.5%, marking its best session since late May. Sector-wise, industrials rose 2.1%, eyeing the strongest one-day gain since October.
The S&amp;P 500 increased marginally by 0.3%, while tech stocks in the Nasdaq 100 slipped by 0.4%, as the rotation from large-cap tech to small-cap and cyclical laggards continues.
Gold, as tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>), rose 1.6% to $2,460 per ounce, as Treasury yields sharply fell following Powell&#8217;s dovish remarks on Monday and a stagnation in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/bonds/24/07/39792320/june-retail-sales-stagnate-traders-fully-price-in-september-interest-rate-cut">retail sales growth in June.</a> The iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TLT#NASDAQ">TLT</a>) rallied 1.1%. 
Oil prices dropped to $80 a barrel, down 1%, heading for the lowest close in nearly a month.
Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) fell by 0.5%, on track to snap a four-day losing streak.

Dow Rallies To All-Time Highs, Small Caps Outperform Tech, Gold Hits Records On Heightened September Rate Cut Bets: What's Driving Markets Tuesday?

Wall Street is in great shape this year. The S&amp;P 500 has surged 14.5%, the Nasdaq Composite has jumped 18.1% and the Dow Jones has nudged up 3.8%, while the Rusell 2000 is up only 1%. In the ongoing bull market, technology stocks have been at the forefront, driven by an unexpected surge in artificial intelligence interest among investors.
However, with the rally expanding over the last few months, sectors beyond technology have started to reclaim prominence, indicating a widening of the market breadth. Analysts see more gains in the cards for Wall Street. However, many investors have overvaluation concerns after such a stupendous rally.
Against this backdrop, some investors may be a bit clueless about finding sectors that are currently hot. For them, we have presented four sectors that boast an upbeat Zacks Rank. These sectors and their ETFs could be great picks now.
<h3>Sectors &amp; ETFs in Focus</h3>
Against this backdrop, below we highlight a few sectors and their ETFs that could be up for gains in the third quarter. To do so, we depend on the Zacks Sector Rank.&nbsp;The Zacks Sector Rank is determined by calculating the average Zacks Rank for all the stocks in the sector and then assigning an ordinal rank to it.
For example, a sector with an average Zacks Rank of 1.6 is better than a sector with an average Zacks Rank of 2.3. So, the sector with the better average Zacks Rank would get a better Zacks Sector Rank. Zacks classifies all stocks into one of 16 sectors.
If a sector has the best average Zacks Rank, it would be considered the top sector (1 out of 16), which would place it in the top 1% of Zacks Rank Sectors. The top 8 Zacks Ranked Sectors would be in the top 50% of sectors, whereas the bottom 8 Zacks Ranked Sectors would be in the bottom 50% of sectors. The sectors mentioned below have upbeat Zacks ranks.
Let&#39;s find out!
<h3>Industrials &ndash; Zacks Sector Rank #2</h3>
The industrials sector is set to benefit as business conditions have improved and demand seems to be solid. About 70% of the industries fall under the top-ranked category. Electronics, procurement and fabrication, steel-pipe and tube, and engineering-R&amp;D services are some of the industries under this category.
The sector&#39;s forward P/E is currently 17.25X, lower than the S&amp;P 500&#39;s 18.51X. The sector&#39;s projected EPS growth is 8.27% versus 6.12% growth likely to be seen for the S&amp;P 500. Industrial Select Sector SPDR (ARCA:XLI) has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy).

<h3>Construction &ndash; Zacks Sector Rank #3</h3>
Thanks to the double whammy of high prices and still high mortgage rates,the U.S. housing sector is in the doldrums currently. But the overall construction sectorlooks attractive given that many of the underlying industries&#39; earnings estimates have seen more positive revisions than negative. Homebuilders, air conditioners and heating, wood, mobile homes and RV builders deserve special mention in this regard.
The construction sector is currently undervalued than the S&amp;P 500 and its projected EPS growth is higher than the S&amp;P 500. Investors can target Invesco Building &amp; Construction ETF (ARCA:PKB) to bet on the sector.

<h3>Aerospace &ndash; Zacks Sector Rank #5</h3>
The sector&#39;s performance has been lackluster in 1H 2024, as it lost by 4.8%. The sector has been disliked by investors probably because it is slightly overvalued than the S&amp;P 500 and its historical EPS growth fell short of the S&amp;P 500.
However, the scenario may change in the coming days as the projected EPS growth rate of the aerospace industry is 18.19% (versus the S&amp;P 500). Currently, the fundamentals behind the sector are positive as the sector tends to benefit from rising geopolitical tensions, which result in increased defense spending worldwide.
The demand profile in the sector is on an upward trajectory. iShares U.S. Aerospace &amp; Defense ETF (BATS: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ita#BATS">ITA</a>) has a Zacks Rank #2.
