S&P 500 Industrials Slide 2.14% as Most Sectors Close Lower

The breadth of the decline matters more than the headline index move: nine of eleven sectors lower points to a broad risk-off session rather than a single-sector shock, with the industrial names hit hardest being those tied to construction, equipment and building cycles. Health care's 1.06% gain amid the weakness suggests defensive rotation rather than a sector-specific catalyst. The open question is whether this is a one-day breadth flush or the start of a rotation away from cyclical exposure.
