The market took it on the chin yesterday, falling by about 60 basis points in value. Aggregate volume levels remained light. Lackluster volume may be a consequence of summer trading or it could suggest that investors continue to expect higher equity prices. In an event, the largest drivers of the decline in the S&P 500 index were the energy, financials, and industrial sectors.
I believe the price/volume heat map characterizes the overall price changes in the index. Staples had the best overall supply/demand balance relative to the other nine sectors while utilities exhibited the weakest characteristics, followed by financials.
