U.S. STOCKS TUMBLE AS TENSION BUILDS
Early gains evaporated, and the main U.S. stock indexes ended lower on Thursday amid rising anxiety, and increased profit-taking.
Indeed, the CBOE Market Volatility index .VIX, which is often called the "fear index," but can also be viewed as a measure of uncertainty, touched its highest level since late April.
Of note, losses were broad based, though there was some change in character in terms of the recent weakness.
The chip index .SOX managed to end up around 0.5% on the day, while the FANG index .NYFANG, which includes all of the Magnificent Seven names, ended just modestly lower. These groups had been among those hit especially hard over the past week or so.
Against this, recent winners, including small caps .RUT and banks .KRX, .SPXBK, took big hits. In fact, the KRX ended a seven-day win streak.
Nearly all S&P 500 .SPX sectors ended red with healthcare .SPXHC, down more than 2%, taking the biggest hit. Energy .SPNY was the only group to end in positive territory, and this even though crude futures CLc1 are lower.
With this, growth .IGX slightly outperformed value .IVX.
Meanwhile, the U.S. 10-Year Treasury yield US10YT=RR, which fell as low as 4.144% on Wednesday, has pushed back up to around 4.20%. Traders continue to eye key support around 4.14%.
Going into the final trading day of the week, the Dow .DJI is still on track to post a weekly gain. However, the Nasdaq .IXIC and S&P 500 are on pace for their biggest weekly drops since the market's mid-April lows.
Here is a snapshot of where markets stood just shortly after 1600 ET (2000 GMT):
