FYI: Regards, U.S. stocks fell on Friday as oil prices plunged to their lowest in more than a year, dragging down energy shares, while U.S.-China trade talks at the G20 summit next week kept investors on edge in a truncated trading session.
Major indexes have struggled to break a stretch of shaky trading as investors have grappled with signs of fading global growth, as well as a slide in technology stocks that had helped lead the bull market earlier in the year.
The latest rout in oil prices added to the downbeat mood in markets, sending shares of energy firms such as Marathon Oil, ConocoPhillips and Hess down more than 3% apiece.
Some of the swings were likely exacerbated by relatively low trading volumes heading into the weekend, with the U.S. stock market set to close earlier in the afternoon and Japanese markets shut for a public holiday, analysts said.
Of the eleven S&P 500 sectors, only Consumer Staples, Healthcare, and Utilities had a positive day.
Regards,
Ted
