S&P 500 Sector Performance: Consumer Discretionary Up 4.27%, Energy Down 4.77%

The dispersion here is the story: a 9-point spread between the best and worst sector in a single session signals rotation rather than a broad risk-on or risk-off move. Tech's marginal 0.55% gain alongside a 4.77% energy slide suggests leadership is shifting toward rate-sensitive and cyclical corners — financials, real estate, materials — while the growth engine stalls. Whether energy's drop reflects a durable repricing or a one-day unwind is the open question.
