Stocks fell at the end of a tumultuous week, as investors weighed the latest developments in Ukraine’s crisis. The heavily weighted technology, financials, consumer discretionary, and communication services sectors dragged the S&P 500 Index lower, but all other segments rose. The energy sector performed the best, with international oil prices reaching nearly USD 120 per barrel on Thursday before retreating due to news of a possible Iran nuclear deal. The Cboe Volatility Index (VIX) hit a new high after more than a year.
The S&P 500 closed the week in the red territory with -0.58%. One Signal outperformed its benchmark index again, with Xpert returning 2.69% and Xpress returning -0.02%.
