Methodology
Industrials sector performance is represented by XLI, the Select Sector SPDR fund, and reflects price return, not total return — dividends are excluded. The fund holds S&P 500 constituents, so it describes large-cap industrials exposure rather than every listed company in the sector.
AIQ breadth is the share of the 137 covered industrials stocks with an AIQ score of 7 or higher on the 1–10 scale — a level reading. Improving is the share whose underlying AIQ composite rose over the past seven days — a change reading. The composite runs 0–100 with 50 neutral, so the two figures are related but sit on different scales and should not be read as one number. Funds are excluded from both, so an ETF's holdings are never counted twice. The state label is derived from the benchmark-relative return and the improving share alone, using the same rule as the sector hub.

Which ETF tracks the industrials sector?
