TTG New Month Observations
AIRR PAVE SLX XSD / ATKR ALSN DE PI CRUS NUE
We are onto a new month of trading and some key takeaways / observations / and charts I am watching.
While the indices chop / lean to the downside as SPY finished -2.5% in Feb, there are areas of strength in the market
Defensive areas underperformed, Feb performance: IYR -6% XLU -5.9% XLV -4.6%
Where I see strength in this market: Industrials / Infrastructure / Auto Parts / Metals / Steel / Semis
Note the SMH (Semis) ETF was +1% in Feb, one of the few Sector / Group ETFs positive in Feb
Interest rates have moved higher TLT -4.8% in Feb and the 10yr Yield is ~ 4% , this is a headwind for equities
Let’s review a couple sector / group ETFs
AIRR - American Industrial Renaissance ETF
This is an ETF I went long back on 2/6/23 as it covers some specific areas of the Industrials like Engineering & Construction, Electrical Components & Equipment, Building Materials, Environmental (see components below). Notice what it is doing… breaking out to all time highs while the rest of the mkt is not, that is Relative Strength (see second chart)
