Utilities stocks: XLU slips as Treasury yields climb — PJM price caps, rate cases in focus

New York, Jan 18, 2026, 14:06 EST — Market closed. U.S. utility stocks slipped Friday, dragging the Utilities Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLU) down 0.5%. Still, the ETF managed to gain roughly 2% for the week, underscoring how swiftly money flows back into steady sectors when markets get volatile. (StockAnalysis) That’s key because utilities behave like rate-sensitive income stocks. Their dividends lose some appeal when government bond yields tick higher. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield closed Friday at 4.24%, up from 4.17% just the day before, according to U.S. Treasury data. (U.S. Department of the Treasury) The upcoming session follows

Salesforce (CRM) shares fell 2.5% to $233.53 in after-hours trading on Thursday, keeping the cloud software maker in the crosshairs of a broader pullback in the sector.
