The one outlier was energy, which slumped 1.2% as U.S. crude futures tumbled 5.7% to $81.94 per barrel - their lowest close since Jan. 11, according to Dow Jones Market Data - amid expectations of slowing global economic growth.

"We believe the commodity can break below $80 from here, targeting the mid-$70s range in the weeks ahead."
