With Taper and rates all the rage these days (or at least some of it), note the spread of late between the rallying REITs in the IYR ETF (first chart, daily timeframe) versus the utilities in the XLU ETF (second, daily), which looks like a short candidate on may further weakness.
What say you on the spread this morning? Which one is telegraphing the next move in rates, if any?
Elsewhere, keep an eye on YNDX to see if it catches momentum with the rest of the internet space today.

with long rates set to rise I don’t think REITS or utilities are compelling. I bought some more mortgage REITs last week as part of a long term portfolio, more of a discipline over conviction rebalance the portfolio move.
Thanks
thinking XLU on the verge of collapsing..i did trade the 36.50-39.40 trend earlier this year…wait and see mode from here
