He also believes the materials sector is more easily able to increase prices given its position at the beginning of the supply chain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe width=560 height=349 src=https:\/\/player.cnbc.com\/p\/gZWlPC\/cnbc_global?playertype=synd&#038;byGuid=7000202665 frameborder=0 scrolling=no allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen ><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>In the weeks ahead, close to half of the XLB industrials ETF will report their earnings. The sector, according to S&amp;P Global estimates, is expected to post 114% earnings growth in its second quarter.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/ancstockinvestments.com\/blog\/2021\/08\/01\/sp-500-notches-sixth-straight-positive-month-amazon-slides\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"S&amp;P 500 Notches Sixth Straight Positive Month as Amazon Shares Plummet (opens in a new tab)\">S&amp;P 500 Notches Sixth Straight Positive Month as Amazon Shares Plummet<\/a><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More upside for materials<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The charts are also supporting more upside for materials with the sector already in its 50-day moving average at the $83 level. If the sector closes back above this level, that figure could rise to $89. For one thing, steel stocks are also making new highs inside the XLB, especially aluminum companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/G61oTqQuLaeJcwSlrqJ5a-Fa6Llr3CfrVzegbX-3DrfJlZHgeA_g0RwJliE8CBwiSM3PhEo31qXSDdopOJOzE2n4CjXcKLHB0KGouk2buBa9FGJHro_AMMcH1qCSZ3Y03tcJf9Ry\" alt=\"Materials Sector Heads into August with Impressive Year-to-Date Gains\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" class=\"lazyload\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>With the XLB ETF closing Friday slightly above $84, a move to $89 would imply a 6% upside.

If the dollar continues to weaken in the weeks ahead, the XLB could grow stronger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\"
