Stock Market Recap
In Thursday’s stock market recap, U.S. stocks opened mostly higher as shares slipped in Europe and Asia.

The S&P 500 sectors are showing fragmentation. This is a sign that the market has moved too high, too fast, which typically means it needs to cool down or consolidate at current levels. When we also consider the put/call ratio and relative strength index levels, it’s likely we will see sideways trading in the short term.
