FYI: Anyone who’s been paying attention to the stock market knows utilities have been the place to be this year. Most of the indexes tracking U.S. utilities are up more than 20% this year, handily beating the broad market, which is up 6.5% as of July 13.
Low interest rates have been cited as a key reason for utilities' outperformance, along with a general tendency toward safe-haven assets on the part of investors so far in 2016.
