Regional banks and semiconductors were among the weakest performers Wednesday, and communications services and health care shares were also soft. Real estate shares bucked the weakness in many sectors to post firm gains. Food and beverage and consumer discretionary sectors also firmed. In other markets, WTI crude oil (/CL) futures rose to a three-month high at $79.62 per barrel before ending lower after the Energy Information Administration reported a rise in U.S. inventories.
