S&P 500 sector performance.
The information technology (-1.9%), communication services (-1.8%), and consumer discretionary (-1.7%) sectors were among the worst performers today.
Energy (-2.3%) was the top laggard for the 11 sectors as oil prices faded ahead of the OPEC+ meeting later this week. WTI crude oil futures fell 1.9% to $77.94/bbl.
Only one sector — consumer staples (+0.1%) — was able to maintain a slim gain by the close.
