State Street Communication Services Select Sector SPDR ETF fell.
Over the last five trading days the ETF fell very sharply while the S&P 500 rose slightly, a very big move for this fund.
Heavy selling in large holdings such as Meta and Alphabet likely drove most of that decline.
Record client outflows from communication services stocks and sell-offs in Netflix and Reddit ahead of their reports probably added pressure.
The fund is also trading near the lowest level of the past year.
