      Different sectors of the market react to economic news with varyingdegrees of magnitude over varying periods of time. Some lead, some lag, andsome do nothing. The Banking sector is always the first to react, becausethe earnings of banks are directly correlated to the economy and borrowingrates. The next sectors to react are those containing heavily debt-ladencompanies, such as the Transportation index, the Utility index, and thePaper index. If the Banking sector reacts too quickly for you to capitalizeon an economic news release, look to these other sectors for tradingopportunities.

If you enter a trade in one of these sectors, use theBanking sector as a leading indicator of the price movement of the sectorthat you are trading in. If you are trading in the Banking sector, use thebonds as a leading indicator. There is a direct correlation.
