Dow -1.90% S&P -2.23% Nasdaq -2.74% Russell -2.41%
Broadly Sell Off - 11 of 11 S&P 500 sectors finished in the red -- and deep -- 8 of 11 groups lost at least 2.0%. AMZN -5.2% pushed consumer discretionary lower by 2,8%. Te ch -2.5%, INTC-6.1%. Despite the broad retreat, there were a few names that moved higher on Monday, including Humana(HUM 280.70, +11.87), which rallied 4.4% after a Wall Street Journal report that Walmart (WMT 85.55, -3.42) is in preliminary talks to acquire the health insurance company. Dow componentUnitedHealth (UNH 217.20, +3.20) advanced 1.5% in sympathy, but the health care sector settled just a tick above the broader market, finishing with a loss of 2.1%. US After Hours SWCH -15% following earnings, VIAB -3% on reports of low CBS bid. Asian stocks declined as a sell-off in once much-favored U.S. technology shares deepened and volatility soared, weighing on markets that resumed trading after the long Easter break. Havens like the yen maintained gains and Treasuries steadied. Equity benchmarks fell in Tokyo and Seoul, and retreated in Hong Kong where traders returned to their desks after a four-day weekend. Losses were cushioned as U.S. equity futures climbed. Australia’s Santos Ltd. surged after the energy producer received a takeover offer, helping the benchmark erase a decline on the first trading day after the Easter break. The South Korean won fell from a three-year high as officials warned against excessive movements. The Australian dollar had the biggest gain among G10 currencies against the greenback.
