SPDR Consumer Staples Select Sector ETF (XLP) is a fund comprised of companies whose products and services are virtually essential for everyday life in the 21st century. Included in this sector are industries such as food and staples retailing, food products, personal products and tobacco and beverage producers.
Stocks which represent Consumer Staples are often called “defensive” stocks because they tend to maintain a more stable price than other sectors when a bear market is in place. Whereas consumers may choose to save money by not buying unnecessary luxury items, there is a constant need for products which are necessary for everyday living, regardless of market conditions. In addition, “sin stocks” such as tobacco and alcohol, also covered under Consumer Staples because they see similarly inelastic demand, may rise in price during this time.
