Shares of power producers rose as traders rotated back into a sector that led the stock market for much of the last two years but lost some momentum recently.
The SPDR Select Sector Utilities exchange-traded fund, which tracks the utilities industry group of the S&P 500, is up about 13% for the year to date, though still roughly 10% from its peak.
The sector has drawn investors because of the stark increase in nationwide power consumption, much of it driven by the artificial-intelligence boom, a trend that’s only expected to accelerate.
