Financials Had A Really Bad Week

Financial stocks are mostly lower on Friday, a trend that investors have seen almost all week.

With two hours of trading remaining on Friday, the Financial Select Sector SPDR Fund XLF erased its early morning losses and was trading higher by just 0.17 percent. At the close, the ETF was up 0.48 percent, or $0.11, at $23.14. The index that tracks the financial sector has now lost roughly 1 percent over the past five days and lower by about 3 percent since the start of 2016.

Taking a look at individual financial stocks within the index doesn't necessarily paint a similar picture, however.
