Tuesday was a relatively mixed day for the U.S. broad markets, each index couldn’t really make up its mind and it seems that no two of them were on the same page. As for the S&P 500, there was no outright positive sector. Everything was mixed and there didn’t seem to be one cohesive direction that any single sector was heading. Even with crude oil posting a gain for the day, the oil & gas stocks, as well as the industrials were not uniform in a direction.
