Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) is down ~$14, and it has been the rock of the market the last month, so weakness in Apple will have an impact on the psyche of market players. We are also seeing similar action in the Metals and Energy sectors. This could be the type of action one might expect going into the new trading month and the upcoming elections.
