The Numbers: The S&P 500 was down slightly this week, led by losses in the energy sector. Retail, technology, and healthcare stocks were also down for the week. Risers: Finance and consumer staples stocks were the best-performing sectors. Largely positive bank earnings boosted finance stocks. Consumer discretionary stocks were also up. Zoom Out: The Dow Jones ended its four-week winning streak down 0.23% this past week; the Nasdaq was also down, meaning all three major U.S. indexes finished the week in the red.
