Key sectors like Financials and Energy underperformed, while sectors such as Utilities and Consumer Staples provided some resilience. The commentary highlights specific stock movements, with notable detractors including energy companies like Marathon Oil and financial institutions like KeyCorp, while positive contributors included companies like Vistra Corp.
