The decline was widespread, covering 9 of the 10 sectors that make up the S&P500. The only exception was the retail sector. The weakness of the oil conditioned not only its sector such as mining (given the correlation between crude oil and other industrial commodities) and industrial. The Nasdaq was conditioned by some profit taking and the analyst's decision at BGC to reduce the recommendation from Hold to...
