Sector early indicator? No: Health & Utilities, not usually.
The Healthcare sector and Utilities sector - here represented by the S&P Health Care Index (S5HLTH, in blue) and Dow Jones Utility Average (DJU, in purple) - do not usually act as early indicators against the broader market (here represented by the DJIA in gray, and the NASDAQ in black)... except perhaps for DJU falling from a peak in Jan 2015, and in Dec 2017.
