ROTATION SCANNER | June 5, 2026
$SOXX -6.5%. $SLV -7.1%. $TAN -7.3%. $XLP +1.7%. Consumer staples leads. The market hides in cereal and toothpaste.
Leader: $XLP (Consumer Staples) +1.7%
Laggard: $TAN (Solar) -7.3%
Spread: 9.0%
The most uniformly red scanner since the series began on April 1. Out of 37 proxy ETFs, two are green. Consumer staples and healthcare. That's it.
SECTORS
$XLV (Healthcare) +1.0%
$XLF (Financials) flat
$XLE (Energy) -1.2%
$XLK (Technology) -4.3%
Only defensives green. Tech at -4.3% is the largest $XLK decline of the series. When consumer staples leads the sector shelf and tech falls 4.3%, the market is in pure flight to safety.
FACTORS. All Red.
$USMV (Min Vol) -0.3%
$QUAL (Quality) -0.9%
$VLUE (Value) -2.6%
$MTUM (Momentum) -3.5%
All four factors negative. All of them. Min vol is the least bad at -0.3%. Momentum at -3.5% is the worst factor reading of the series. The crowded AI/semi trade that dominated for two months is being liquidated. When momentum falls 3.5% in a single session, the forced selling has begun.
THEMATIC. All Red.
$XBI (Biotech) -2.1%
$IGV (Software) -3.4%
$ITA (Defense) -3.5%
$SOXX (Semis) -6.5%
$SOXX -6.5%. The largest single-session semiconductor decline we've ever tracked. The global chip selloff cascaded from Asia through Europe and into the US. SK Hynix -9.9%. Samsung -6.4%. ASML -3.8%. Infineon -6%. The US semis are catching up to the global sell.
$IGV -3.4%. The $IGV five-session arc: +5.3%, +5.2%, -3.3%, -4.0%, -3.4%. The $DELL rally was a two-day event. The unwind has now lasted three days. The cumulative decline from the peak has erased the entire rally and then some.
$ITA -3.5%. Defense selling hard. Even the defense premium from the Iran conflict is being repriced.
MACRO. All Red.
$TLT (Bonds) -0.4%
$USO (Oil) -2.0%
$GLD (Gold) -3.3%
$SLV (Silver) -7.1%
$SLV -7.1%. The largest silver move of the series. Gold -3.3%. Even the traditional safe havens are selling. Rising yields on the strong jobs report are pressuring precious metals. Bonds down -0.4%. Oil down -2.0%. Everything is red. The only safe haven today is consumer staples.
All four sectors (ex-staples and healthcare): red.
All four factors: red.
All four thematics: red.
All four macro assets: red.
Two green names out of 37. Consumer staples +1.7%. Healthcare +1.0%. That's the entire market today.
Week thirteen ends with the reddest scanner of the series. The data doesn't predict. It documents. Today the data says: risk off.
