Consumer discretionary and comms on sectors in the green today

Looking across US equity sectors we only had two sectors in the green, that being Consumer Discretionary (+1.45%) and Communication Services (+0.01%) which was basically flat.

The rest of the sectors were pressured with energy (-0.98%) and financials (-0.63%) taking the biggest punch.

Worth noting that despite the shaky price action the YTD performance is still green for all sectors apart from real estate.
