Utilities across the four regions
Electric, gas, water, multi-utilities. Defensive bucket — bond-proxy dynamics dominate cross-region behaviour. The same sector rarely behaves the same way twice across regions — the spread between the best and worst region is the tradable information, and the table below is the current state of that spread.
| Region | 5d | 1m | 3m | YTD | Vehicle | Confidence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Europe | +1.1% | +4.2% | +2.3% | +17.0% | EXH9.XETRA | high |
| US | -0.0% | +4.4% | -0.9% | +7.2% | XLU | high |
| Emerging Markets | +1.1% | -0.1% | -1.0% | +4.2% | EM:CN+TW+IN+KR+BR+SA+MX+ZA+ID+TH+MY+OTHER (approx.) | medium |
| Asia-Pac DM | -2.4% | -2.4% | -11.8% | -3.1% | 1627.TSE | high |
