One of our top ranked industries coming into the week is the Consumer Retail sector, especially apparel and discount retail. This group has been leading the S&P 500 year-to-date, they are in constructive uptrends, and are trading at reasonable valuations, which the market seems to be more focused on over the last few months.
A few of our favorite technical ideas here are The Gap (GPS), L Brands (LB) and Tapestry (TPR) in apparel. Burlington Stores (BURL), Ross Stores (ROST) and TJ Maxx (TJX) in discount retail. All are trading in uptrends above their rising 50-day moving average, indicating a strong uptrend and are at or near breakout levels.
As the economy continues to reopen, we expect consumer spending to remain strong and these charts are trending well here.
