S&P 500 and Energy Prices Diverged on July 19

S&P 500 and Energy Prices Diverged on July 19

The S&P 500 Index fell ~0.4% to 2,804.49 on July 19. The index fell due to disappointing second-quarter earnings results from some of the S&P 500 companies and escalating trade tensions between the US and Europe. The European Union could impose tariffs on goods imported from the US. Six out of the 11 key sectors in the S&P 500 fell on July 19.
