outnumber advancers in the S&P 500. In turn, the majority of the
major economic sectors continue to trade with losses.

health care, and utilities. Week-to-date, energy is up 3.0%, health
care is up 0.6%, and the utilities sector is up 2.3%. They are also
the only three sectors trading in positive territory today, up 1.1%,
0.2%, and 0.8%, respectively.
