- August 2015 is the worst month in 3 years
All 10 of the S&P 500's key sectors lost ground in August, highlighted by the 8% drop in the SPDR Health Care ETF (XLV) and the 7.1% slide in the SPDR Financial ETF (XLF). Those were the biggest monthly declines for the XLV since February 2009, and for the XFL since May 2012. The best performing sector on the month was telecom, with the iShares U.S. Telecommunications ETF (IYZ), slipping 1.9% in August.
