Investors shift from tech to energy and materials amid volatility; the equal-weighted S&P 500 is up nearly 7% this year, analysts said.

  • ETF flows and volatility data show energy, materials and consumer staples sectors lead gains this year, with an energy sector ETF up 23%, a tech sector ETF down 2%, the VIX surged 8%, and the 10-year Treasury yield fell below 4%.
