The markets are retreating today after reports of a second case of the coronavirus in the U.S. Concerns that the virus could impact consumer discretionary spending, as well as travel, is weighing on stocks. Some believe that the market was simply tired and ready for a pullback. Let’s see if buyers emerge into the close as they typically do.
One stock that continues to buck the trend and has received two more upgrades today is Apple (AAPL).
The only S&P 500 sector in the green today is the safe haven Utilities. Healthcare and Energy are the worst performing sectors. WTI crude is down 2.5% today.
