State Street Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF is an exchange-traded fund, listed since 1998, with about $55.65B in assets. The fund's price follows what it holds, so it moves with its basket, not with one company.
Its beta is 0.75: the fund is usually calmer than the broad market, so its moves are narrower than the index.
On the price was $55.98, below its 50-day simple average (DMA-50 at $56.18) by 0.4%, and above its 200-day average (DMA-200 at $53.69) by 4.3%. Above the 200-day and below the 50-day: the long trend is up and the near-term move has pulled back.
