The composite's decline masked a three-way split beneath it: energy gained on the same oil-driven sentiment lifting crude prices, while financials and materials each fell for separate reasons tied to the day's shifting rate expectations. Energy's advance stayed well below the morning's biggest single-name spikes, meaning it was not enough to offset the drag from the other two sectors. The divergence is a reminder that a single day's composite move can obscure very different stories playing out inside individual sectors.
