Sector Winners and Losers week ending 2/5

Energy (XLE) was back on top for the first week of February. The sector benefited from higher than expected demand in oil that also raise crude oil prices throughout the week.

Technology (XLK) started the week in the lead, having a strong Monday. The Consumer Discretionary (XLY) took the lead on Tuesday. Financials (XLF) briefly moved to the top spot on Thursday, but was soon passed by Energy again.

Health Care (XLV) was at the bottom of the list for the week.

Materials (XLB) was the worst performing sector on Thursday, but led the sectors on Friday.
