Methodology: Sector returns are calculated as the equal-weight average of the component symbols’ percentage returns over each lookback period (5 trading days, 21 trading days, 42 trading days).
Relative Strength = Sector 5-Day Return − FMT Index 5-Day Return.
The FMT Index is constructed using the same equal-weight methodology across all tracked symbols. Returns are not market-cap weighted.
