US Stocks suffered their worst sell-off since October last week as investors took some risk off the table.

According to the National Association of Realtors the index of pending home sales dropped 0.3% in December, marking the fourth consecutive month of declines. The index measures real-estate transactions in which a contract is signed, but the sale had not yet closed. Compared to 2019, pending sales were still up 21%, a sign of how strong the market is right now despite the recent weakness. Pending sales didn’t fall across all regions, as was the case in November. In fact, the Midwest was the only region to experience a decline, with a 3.6% drop. Pending sales were flat in the West and rose by 3.1% in the Northeast and 0.1% in the South.
