S&P 500 ALSO HEADING TOWARD RED LINE...Chart 2 shows the S&P 500 bearing down on its 200-day average as well (red arrow).  Its next level of subtantial chart support is also seen along its June lows.

ALL ELEVEN SECTORS IN THE RED... All stock sectors are falling today with the biggest losses in energy, materials, industrials, and financials.   Airlines and banks are having an especially bad day.   Smaller losses are occurring in technology, utilities, and consumer staples.    A drop in bond yields shows some safe haven money flowing into Treasuries.  A firmer dollar is also putting downside pressure on commodity prices, and stocks tied to them.
