4:15 pm : The S&P 500 settled lower by 0.8% after early strength turned into afternoon weakness. Today's headline event came in the form of Ben Bernanke's testimony before the Joint Economic Committee. During his remarks, Chairman Bernanke said premature tightening of monetary policy could stall the pace of recovery. This followed weeks of conflicting remarks from FOMC members, which sparked speculation regarding possible changes to the Fed's policy course. However, those voices were echoed again by the afternoon release of the FOMC minutes from the May 1 meeting. The minutes indicated that some members expressed their willingness to slow asset purchases as early as June, provided economic conditions warrant the change. Equities spiked at the start of Chairman Bernanke's testimony, but sellers made their presence known this afternoon as the major averages slumped to session lows.
While the afternoon decline occurred around the release of FOMC minutes, the move was isolated to the stock market as the 10-yr yield held near its session high of 2.04%, and the Dollar Index maintained its gain of 0.4% near 84.25.
The utilities and telecom sectors led to the downside as traders continued to dump income-oriented names. Including today's 1.6% decline, the utilities sector is down 5.0% month-to-date.
Elsewhere, the energy space lost 1.2% as crude oil declined 2.1%. The energy component ended at $94.18 per barrel, and weighed on the growth-sensitive sector.
Another commodity-related group, materials, ended among the laggards as steelmakers underperformed. The Market Vectors Steel ETF (SLX 42.61, -0.59) settled lower by 1.4%.

Similarly, most cyclical sectors have also risen off their worst levels while the tech spaces continues to trade with a slim loss. Interestingly, recent buying across the Treasury complex has pressured the 10-yr yield to fresh session lows in the 1.943% area.DJ30 +54.89 NASDAQ +7.38 SP500 +4.35 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1256/866.1 mln/1125 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1571/266.4 mln/1358
12:00 pm : The three indices all trade with gains of no more than 0.2% with Dow maintaining its lead. Cyclical sectors have strengthened their gains in recent action as the financial sector sits atop the leaderboard. Although most growth-oriented groups trade in positive territory, technology and materials remain in the red. Also of note, the Dow Jones Transportation Average is little changed after charging out of the gate.DJ30 +34.29 NASDAQ +2.09 SP500 +1.49 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1156/771.9 mln/1214 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1385/238.6 mln/1528
11:30 am : The major averages continue to trade near their respective unchanged lines as sector leadership remains mixed. The discretionary sector is the leading cyclical group with Home Depot (HD 78.32, +1.55) trading higher by 2.0% after beating on earnings and revenue. However, the upbeat report has not provided a boost to homebuilders. The SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB 31.75, -0.38) trades lower by 1.2%.
On the downside, defensively-oriented sectors are among the biggest laggards with only the health care space able to register gains. The CBOE Volatility Index (VIX 13.26, +0.24) hovers near its best level of the day after climbing
