XLP: State Street Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR ETF research
As of 09-25-2026
Consumer staples carries an explicit underweight tilt in this risk-on regime and is lagging SPY by over 8% on a 3-month basis. Its low beta of 0.49 makes it a defensive holding that will likely underperform while risk appetite stays elevated. The fund is below its 200-day average despite a decent yield, confirming weak momentum. This is not the environment to hold a low-beta staples fund.
