Some observations:
- Due to the boom in commodity markets in the past decade materials and processing has been one of the consistent top performing sector.
- Since the credit crisis, the technology sector has recovered nicely and is performing better than they did in the past.
- From 2007, the financial services sector has performed poorly than other sectors.
