Tech Sector Lags Behind Utilities

My latest piece at TraderPlanet this week takes a look at the relationship between Technology (XLK) and Utilites (XLU). Both are the only two S&P sectors to not break above their 200-day moving averages as of Friday’s close and XLU has been leading XLK during the recent run up in equities.

Here’s a blurb:

So far, all but two sectors have cleared their 200-MA, giving equity bulls some confidence. The two laggards are Technology (XLK) and Utilities (XLU).
