Utilities (XLU) dropped to the bottom of the sector list after leading in the previous week. It was all about Growth stocks this week as investors put off fears of the economy and looked forward to record earnings reports from big tech.
Communication Services (XLC) led the week thanks to huge earnings beat by SNAP and Twitter. Consumer Discretionary (XLY) and Technology (XLK) were second and third.
Energy (XLE) briefly moved into the top spot on Wednesday afternoon before falling back and ending the week in second-to-last place. Only Utilities and Energy declined for the week.
