One Month In, Energy Is Leading The Pack

With January come and gone, one trend is clear: Energy is leading the pack in 2026.

The State Street Energy Select SPDR ETF (XLE) finished last week as the top-performing sector again, up 3.8%. And in a year where the S&P 500 is barely positive, XLE is up over 14% through the end of January.

At the bottom of the heap is the State Street Healthcare Select SPDR ETF (XLV), which finished the week down 1.7% after President Trump really put the screws to health insurance companies in an attempt to lower consumer prices.

So, what’s next for the energy and healthcare sectors?
