XLY

The U.S. retail sales figures for July are expected to show a 0.4% increase, marking the fourth consecutive month of positive growth. This is expected to alleviate concerns of a recession, thanks to a robust labor market and receding inflation. The impact on sector ETFs will depend on the actual sales figures. Higher-than-expected sales may positively influence cyclical sectors like XLE, XLF, and XLY, while lower-than-expected sales may benefit defensive sectors like XLU, XLV, and XLP. Tech-related sectors like XLK and XLC could see mixed impacts.
