Industrials and tech lead a narrow rally as defensives and consumer names retreat.
Capital rotated toward infrastructure-adjacent technology and industrial names today, leaving rate-sensitive utilities, consumer staples, and healthcare behind — a session that rewards quality cyclicals but does not broadly lift the market.
Only four of twelve sectors closed higher on July 6, with Industrials, Technology, and Financials leading while Healthcare fell 1.10% and Consumer Staples dropped 0.84%, producing a narrow, risk-selective session rather than broad recovery.
