Sector and country equity performance mixed for May



Large dispersion in sector performance with energy sector still dominating markets. Large declines were seen in consumer discretionary (XLY) and real estate (XLRE). These declines should be expected in a rising rate and threat of recession environment. 


Surprisingly, there is large dispersion in country equity performance given the discussions concerning global inflation and stagnation. Several European countries had gains over 5% for May. The two biggest outliers for 2022 are Mexico (EWW) and Brazil (EWZ).
