The US stock markets dropped in response to volatility in the oil prices which eventually triggered a dramatic selloff in energy shares. Specifically, the S&P 500 is comprised of 10 sectors, out of which one of the sectors is energy. Energy stocks tripped 1.8% following a swell in crude inventories, which triggered massive selling in the crude oil. The drop in energy prices reduces companies' profit margins.
