Information Technology (1st) and Health Care (3rd) continued their long-time status among the top-three-rated sectors (out of eleven broad sectors). Communication Services bumped up to 2nd from 4th; it has not been among the top three since September. Consumer Discretionary moved down one spot to 4th. That sector has been rotating in-and-out of the top-three zone on a regular basis. This is the eighth consecutive month with Real Estate, Energy, and Utilities sharing the bottom-three sector ranks.
