Tuesday was a down day for the U.S. broad markets, actually one of the worst trading days of the year. Despite this, crude oil managed to have one of its best days but not all of the oil & gas stocks responded positively. Out of the sectors, finance was far and away the absolute worst on the day, down by over 2%, followed by materials and industrials, both down about 1%. The best performing sector was energy, although this was only positive by about 0.5%.
