Afternoon Note
The market has lost its steam and is near the lows of the session, though nine sectors continue trading higher with Energy (XLE) leading.
The decline in the S&P 500 attributed to some influential names turning lower such as Nvidia (NVDA) and Broadcom (AVGO).

The gains in Energy today were driven by a bullish weekly inventory report from the Energy Information Administration (EIA).
