What It Shows

Ten of the 11 sectors closed lower; only the Energy fund gained, up 1.51%. Oil did the lifting: the crude oil fund rose 3.25% and natural gas 2.35%, putting Valero, Devon and Marathon Petroleum among the day's top gainers. Everywhere else, sellers had the upper hand. Materials fell hardest at 1.28%, dragged by a 24.30% plunge in Corteva. Breadth was weak, with 123 stocks advancing against 383 declining across the index universe. The small-cap Russell 2000 slid 1.64%, clearly underperforming the large-cap benchmarks. Gold dropped 2.82% and Bitcoin 4.45%, so the selling reached well beyond stocks. Next up: how after-hours earnings from Cisco and Applied Materials land on the tech trade.
