It looks like the negative reaction that I mentioned was in response to Citigroup's news.

excerpt:

Stocks advanced on Tuesday, pushing the S&P 500 to its highest since early August, but sharply pared gains late in the session as Citigroup's steep drop in profit gave investors a reason to unload bank shares.

The financial sector, which has outperformed the broader market so far this year, took a hit on investors' disappointment with Citigroup Inc's (NYSE:C - News) earnings.

Citigroup's stock slid 8.1 percent to $28.25 after it reported weaker-than-expected earnings.The KBW Banks Index lost 1.4 percent. Through Friday, the KBW Banks Index was up about 10 percent for the year, while the S&P 500 was about 2 percent higher.

The banks' sell-off splashed cold water on a rally that drove the S&P 500 through 1,300 for the first time since August.
