The S&P 500 is lower by 1.0% while small caps underperform with the Russell 2000 falling 1.5%.</p><p>On Friday night, Mr. Trump ordered a temporary suspension of the U.S. refugee program in addition to barring travelers from seven countries-- Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen — from entering the U.S. The executive order has raised global concerns over President Trump's protectionist agenda, which seems to have taken priority over the pro-growth promises of his campaign trail.</p><p>To be fair, this week will feature a heavy dose of economic data, a number of quarterly reports, and policy updates from the Bank of Japan and the Federal Reserve, so today's caution may be related to more than just one item.</p><p>Succumbing to Monday's broad selling pressure, all eleven sectors are in negative territory. Cyclical sectors have led the retreat, with energy (-2.3%) posting the widest loss. The space has been hurt by a downbeat response to <strong>Enterprise Products'</strong> (EPD 28.40, -0.68) quarterly earnings report and a 1.0% downtick in crude oil; the energy component currently trades at $52.63/bbl. The consumer discretionary space (-0.6%) is the only growth-sensitive space that trades ahead of the broader market thus far.</p><p>On the non-cyclical side, all five spaces outperform the benchmark index. Consumer staples (-0.2%) tops the day's leaderboard, while the remaining four spaces--health care, utilities, telecom services, and real estate--show losses between 0.5% and 0.7%.</p><p>Conversely, the Treasury market has profited from the risk-off tone with the benchmark 10-yr yield lower by one basis point at 2.48%. Larger gains have been recorded up front, with the 2-yr yield falling two basis points to 1.20%.</p><p>Today's economic data included December Personal Income and December Pending Home Sales:</p><ul><li>December personal income rose 0.3% while the Briefing.com consensus expected an increase of 0.4%.

Core PCE prices for December rose 0.1% (Briefing.com consensus 0.2%), while the November reading was left unrevised at 0.0%.<ul><li>With spending rising faster than income, the drop in the personal savings rate suggests consumers were spending out of savings — something that wouldn't typically be done unless it was out of necessity or consumers were feeling better about their income prospects.</li></ul></li><li>Pending Home Sales for December rose 1.6% while the Briefing.com consensus expected an increase of 1.3%. Today's reading follows a 2.5% downtick in November.</li></ul>"
