The September S&P 500 trended higher during the initial morning hours, climbing to their highest level since April 2nd. The upside action in the stock market was fueled by German GDP data that was slightly better than expected, then from US July Retail Sales that beat consensus estimates. There were also a number of US retail-related companies that posted upbeat quarterly results earlier this morning, and that seemed to support the notion of a healthy consumer. The index struggled to hold into positive territory during the afternoon session and posted new lows into the close. Most of the major S&P sectors were lower on the session, with material-related shares as the downside leader.
