  • XLI is a well-diversified ETF within the industrials sector, avoiding heavy reliance on a few stocks. Read why I remain neutral on the fund.

The article from Seeking Alpha discusses the Industrial Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLI), which has shown significant leadership in the market, particularly in 2024. Despite a slight dip in performance in the last month, XLI has been a top performer year-to-date, with a 10.3% increase. The ETF includes major companies like Caterpillar, Union Pacific, and General Electric, which have contributed to its robust performance. The article highlights that industrials, often overlooked, are quietly leading due to their involvement in infrastructure, manufacturing, and transportation sectors, which are pivotal for economic growth. It also notes that while the sector has benefited from positive economic indicators, potential risks include economic slowdowns, policy changes, and shifts in global trade dynamics. The piece concludes by suggesting that despite these risks, the industrials sector's fundamentals remain strong, supported by government spending on infrastructure and a recovery in global trade.
