Alcoa’s 2Q16 earnings

Alcoa (AA) has a legacy of kicking off earnings season. The company is expected to release its 2Q16 earnings on July 11. Alcoa’s earnings are closely tracked by analysts who cover the metals and mining industry.

The mining sector has performed well in the stock markets this year. The SPDR S&P Metals and Mining ETF (XME), which seeks to build a diversified portfolio of US-based metals and mining companies, has outperformed the broader markets so far in 2016. Companies like Century Aluminum (CENX) and U.S. Steel (X) are trading with strong year-to-date returns.

However, if we look at the returns since the beginning of 2015, XME has underperformed the broader markets, as represented by the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY).
