How to show interest in the sector you are interviewing for

I feel like I struggle sometimes to really hit the nail on the head when trying to show I am interested in a sector during an interview in that sector. I talk about recent headlines in the sector and overall macro trends happening  and try to show curiosity and interest but other than that I feel like I fall short. any advice from those on the other side what you are looking for or good sources to stay up to date in certain sectors like energy or industrials or aerospace and defense?
