Industrials ETFs – $XLI vs $EXI (daily and weekly)
Our model score for the XLI went positive on February 4, and the EXI went positive last week with the recent turn up in absolute and relative momentum. Note that our model score for the XLI is stronger than that of the EXI due to the stronger relative performance vs. the ACWI.
When measuring both ETFs for absolute and relative trend and momentum of trend, as well as money flow, the U.S. only XLI has a much stronger model score, and we see this to continue in the near future.
