Cross-Sector Linkage
The cross-sector tape is leaning risk-on. Cyclicals vs Defensives: Cyclicals (+0.40%) are leading Defensives (+0.01%) by 0.39pp. Risk appetite firm — the tape is paying for growth, leverage and operating cycle exposure. Discretionary vs Staples: XLY -0.69% vs XLP -0.96% (spread +0.27pp). Consumer mixed — no clear signal on household risk appetite. Energy vs Utilities: XLE +2.64% vs XLU +0.94% — spread +1.70pp. Inflation reflation/commodity bid; favours real-asset exposure and pricing-power names.
