ETF Trade Watch

Energy Select Sector SPDR (XLE)

Communication Services Select Sector SPDR (XLC)

As the possibility of war looms, oil prices could push higher, and that means ETFs like the XLE may continue to hit new highs.

On the complete opposite side of the spectrum is Communication Services, which have now sent the XLC to new lows.

Good luck!
