Consumer Staples: how turbulence reads

Consumer Staples

Median variance ~0.112 · narrow door

Consumer Staples spans food, beverages, household products, and retail staples.

Consumer Staples are the defensive corner. A median variance near 0.11 keeps the door narrow, because demand for the things people buy regardless of the cycle is steady, so dispersion stays contained. It is often where money sits when the broader tape gets rough, and turbulence here usually signals something specific to a name rather than a sector-wide move.
