Behaviour On Record
iShares Transportation Average ETF is currently running 21.0% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against IYT's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 65th percentile — a little above its own norm, against a typical reading of 18.1%.
IYT is trading -4.8% below its running peak. Across 13 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -13.4%, and the deepest was -40.8% in 2020. The current pullback is therefore shallower than what this fund gives back in a typical year, which is context worth having before treating it as a dislocation.
Price sits +4.0% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 55th percentile — a somewhat wider gap than its own norm. Over the past year IYT closed higher on 49% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a rising streak.
On November specifically: over 13 years of records, IYT finished the month higher 11 of 13 times, with a median return of +5.3% and an average of +5.3%. Its strongest month historically has been November at +5.3% on average, its weakest March at -1.8%.
Overnight risk is measurable too: IYT has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 88 of 3,267 sessions (2.7% of the time), with the largest gaps running +5.4% and -6.7%.
All figures computed from 3,268 daily closes between 2013-11-06 and 2026-11-04, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against IYT's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
