The S&P 500 was down 7.5% from its highs. Major oilers were under pressure on the decline in commodities. Among the worst performers, Exxon Mobil (XOM), Chevron (CVX), Shell (RDS.A) and BP (BP) plummeted. The energy sector was the worst performer on markets after crude oil briefly dropped below $40 a barrel. Oil was down 4.8% for the week, its eighth weekly loss and longest losing streak in 29 years.
