Lululemon and Nike shares dropped significantly after their earnings reports, while FedEx shares surged following a positive earnings announcement and a new share repurchase program. The U.S. oil rig count decreased slightly. Sectors such as real estate, financial, and consumer discretionary faced losses, whereas information technology and communication services saw gains.
