The Consumer Discretionary Select Sector SPDR Fund (XLY) has experienced a slight decline of 0.3% since Friday.

Amazon also saw a decrease, despite Wells Fargo raising its price target, as the firm adjusted its operating income forecasts downward due to anticipated costs associated with the Kuiper satellite internet service. Other notable declines came from Deckers, Airbnb, and Royal Caribbean, each contributing minimally to the overall performance.
