Energy has been one of the most consistently losing sectors out of any sector since 1928. It's also suffered one of the largest drawdowns. Looking at each sector's maximum loss from its latest multi-year peak can be instructive, but it's better to look at it relative to the drawdown of the broader S&P 500 index.
Below, we can see two sectors' maximum decline from a 3-year high, minus the drawdown in the S&P 500 index. So, it shows losses that investors suffered beyond what they would have been exposed to in the broader market.
Going back to 1928, it has been unusual to see any sector, at any point, to lose 35% more from a high than did the broader market.
The current drawdown in energy is now about 60% more than the S&P's, by far the worst of any sector in history. It exceeds the relative losses in tech after the internet bubble burst and devastation in financials following the Great Financial Crisis.
What else is happening
• All sectors' drawdowns relative to the S&P 500 going back to 1928
• Zoomed-in charts for each sector that reached a certain threshold, and their future relative performance
• What happens after the S&P 500 becomes oversold for the 1st time in months
• More than 10% of S&P 500 stocks are also hitting oversold levels
• Gold is probably facing its first negative quarter in a year
Stat Box
The Relative Strength Index (RSI) is a popular tool among technical analysts. It computes a stock or index's momentum of price gains or losses over (usually) a 14-day time span. A 9-day span is also popular. There are different ways of interpreting it, with a common one being that a reading over 70 suggests a market is overbought, and a reading below 30 is oversold. For the S&P 500, its RSI just fell below 30 for the 1st time in more than 6 months. This has happened 22 times since 1928, and over the next 3 months, the S&P never showed a loss greater than -2%.
