The Consumer Staples Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLP) declined around 3% in the September quarter due to various market pressures.

Surging oil prices and a shift towards risk-on tech/AI stocks weighed on the sector, as did hotter inflation data that reduced hopes for rate cuts.

Major holdings such as Walmart (WMT) faced margin concerns, further contributing to the decline of XLP.
