The S&P 500 Industrials index is the top performing sector index over the last month with a gain of 19% followed by real estate 17.48% and Financials 15.82%. The worst performing sector was health care which is flat on the month. It is no coincidence that the Dow Jones index also happens to be the best performing index of the month with a gain of 11% at the time of this writing due to its large industrial stock weighting.
Digging deeper into the industrial sector, Airlines are up an impressive 64.3% in a month followed by Aerospace and transportation services companies.
The top airline in terms of performance are Spirit (SAVE) +150.3% United Airlines (UAL) + 97.29% and American Airlines (AAL) +87.83%.
Despite an impressive rebound in airlines over the last month, the U.S global Jets ETF (JETS) remains down 42% year to date leaving a lot of upside potential.
