Most of the market was caught up in Friday’s selloff, but utilities were an exception.
The S&P 500 utilities sector was up 1.2%, while about half of the major sectors were down 1% or more. Health care and consumer staples were both up slightly, while the other eight were down.
Among the S&P’s top stocks were PPL, American Water Works, FirstEnergy, and Eversource Energy. American States Water, which is not in the S&P, was also rallying.
