The Industrials sector (XLI) declined 5.8% over the past month, underperforming broader markets as investors rotated away from cyclical names amid economic uncertainty. RTX emerged as a standout performer with a 6.0% gain, likely benefiting from recent executive orders prioritizing defense spending and warfighter capabilities that signal sustained government contract momentum. The divergence between defense-focused names and broader industrial weakness suggests policy-driven defense allocations are providing selective support within an otherwise pressured sector.
