Closing Bell Movers: Lennar slips 4% after Q4 miss

Investor sentiment remains cautions as S&P 500 ended the day lower for the third consecutive session, and the opening hour of trading in the evening hours suggests the markets could see more losses on Wednesday, with S&P e-minis and Dow Industrials down 0.2% and Nasdaq 100 futures down 0.3%.   In commodities, WTI Crude Oil selloff is finally relenting with modest upside after the contract fell to a 4-year low of $55.  In precious metals, Gold and Silver are coiling in tight ranges, though Platinum is now dominating the rally with four straight days of solid gains.

Energy was the worst performing name in the S&P on Tuesday amid heavy pressure from Oil prices, with Energy Select Sector SPDR ETF XLE at a five-week low down 3%.  Tech and Consumer Discretionary were more resilient, with semiconductor and AI-exposed names seeing some demand.  After four sessions of gains. Health Care Select Sector ETF XLV also saw some profit taking,  Treasury yields slipped about 4 basis points, even though employment data was widely deemed sufficiently neutral for the Fed to stay on hold in January.
