Financials and Energy stocks are leading the downside action. Both sectors are grappling with losses of 0.8%, which makes them today’s poorest performing groups. Energy stocks, in particular, have been hurt by players in the oil and gas drilling industry, whereas Financials have been hampered by losses among the likes of Bank of America (BAC 9.56, -0.12), JPMorgan Chase (JPM 45.38, -0.44), Morgan Stanley (MS 19.52, -0.29), and Goldman Sachs (GS 123.15, -1.75).
