S&P 500 Sectors Diverge: Energy Falls 3.97%, Tech Down 2.66%, Consumer Discretionary Up 2.25%

The split is striking because the two sectors most associated with the AI and growth trade — tech and energy, the latter tied to the data-center power narrative — led the decline while defensives and consumer discretionary held up. That rotation pattern suggests positioning unwinds rather than a single macro catalyst. What matters next is whether energy's underperformance persists alongside tech weakness, which would point to broader de-risking, or whether the divergence proves a one-session rebalance.
