Editor's Note: Below is a brief excerpt from today's Early Look written by Macro analyst Ben Ryan. Click here to learn more about the Early Look. 

As we show in our Chart of the Day, relative volatility or “implied dispersion” in the S&P 500 Energy ETF (XLE) vs. SPY registers TTM and 3yr Z-Scores > -2.5x across the term structure of volatility. Even a 3Yr Z-score tells a short-term story, but the longer duration picture is the same which we show in the chart (5yr & 10yr). Not surprisingly with the performance flow through from rates-rising, the other S&P 500 sector with the widest downside dispersion right now is financials (XLF).
