Vertical: 1-month outperformance vs the S&P 500. Horizontal: the longer window, time-shifted — full math on the methodology page.
Three steps from map to shortlist
Find the outperformers
Start top-right. Sectors there beat the S&P 500 both recently and over the longer window. That is where leadership is today.
Watch the transitions
The edges of the quadrants show change first: Emerging sectors that move toward Outperformers, and Outperformers that slide toward Cooling. Rotation often shows on the map before it is clear in price.
Confirm with the numbers
Use the ranking table to check the size of each spread. A sector barely above zero is a different reading from one that beats the market by five points.

The same data as the chart, as a ranked table: absolute performance over one and three months, plus the spread — how much each sector beat or trailed the S&P 500. Chart to spot, table to confirm.

Sector rotation, briefly explained
What is a sector rotation chart?
A chart that shows how each market sector performs relative to a benchmark — here, the S&P 500 — across two timeframes at once. Instead of asking whether a sector went up, it asks whether the market is rewarding it more or less than everything else, and in which direction that is moving. That movement between quadrants is the rotation.
Is this sector rotation chart free?
Yes. As of 12 October 2026, the chart, the map and the daily ranking of all 11 S&P 500 sectors are free to view. You do not need an account. Premium extends the same view to 100+ industries, themes and commodities.
How often does the chart update?
Once a day, after the market close. The current figures use daily closing prices up to 12 October 2026. Signed-in users also get hourly figures, timeframe switching and rotation history.
How is this different from a sector performance table?
A performance table shows one number per sector. The rotation chart shows trajectory: a sector that lagged for months but has just turned positive looks identical to a chronic underperformer in a table, while the chart places it in the Emerging quadrant — often the earliest visible sign of new leadership.
Which sectors does the free chart include?
The 11 S&P 500 sector ETFs: technology, financials, health care, energy, industrials, communication services, consumer discretionary, consumer staples, utilities, real estate and materials. Premium extends the same view to 100+ industries, themes and commodities — from semiconductors to uranium.
