Telecom services (+2.1%) was the only group to outperform health care, largely thanks to Verizon, which rallied 3% after J.P. Morgan upgraded the stock. The tech group (-0.3%) was among the day's worst performers; of note, Symantec plunged 33% after saying it had relayed concerns from an ex-employee to the SEC. Elsewhere, U.S. Treasury prices finished on a flattish note with the benchmark 10-year yield unchanged at 2.97%, WTI crude futures fell 0.9% to $70.70/bbl, and the U.S. Dollar Index (-0.2%) dropped for the third day in a row.
