Stocks took a hit, with the S&P 500 down 1.07%, driven by weak breadth metrics. Of the S&P 500, 470 stocks declined, 31 rose, and two remained unchanged. The New York Stock Exchange saw 823 more decliners than advancers, with the McClellan Oscillator at -43 and the Summation Index at -351, indicating continued weakness.
