The markets had another relatively flat day on Tuesday but saw more volatility across the index than Monday. Oil pressed higher on the day leading to a strong performance among oil & gas and railroad stocks. Utilities also had a lot of green arrows as well, along with aerospace and defense stocks. However, we saw major airlines and department stores posting some of the biggest losses in the index. Apart from that, textiles and retail REITs were mostly negative as well.
