The Nasdaq again took the worst of the beating. Crude oil was flat on Friday. The S&P 500 sectors were mostly positive. The most positive sectors were real estate and consumer staples up 1.5% and 1.4%, respectively. The worst performing sectors were technology and health care down 1.0% and 0.1%, respectively.
