The market slipped to start March as investors struggle to regain their footing as Tuesday marked an end to a losing month for the major indexes.

The Dow closed down more than 4% for the month while the S&P 500 and Nasdaq lost about 2.6% and 1.1%, respectively.

February’s stumble also pulled the Dow down into negative territory for the year.

Meanwhile, retail earnings reports continue to roll in, with Kohl’s Corp. (NYSE: KSS) down more than 8% on a big earnings miss. Analysts expected positive earnings of $0.98 a share on $5.99 billion of revenue, but Kohl’s reported a loss of $2.49 per share on $5.78 billion of revenue.

Home improvement retailer Lowe’s Companies Inc. (NYSE: LOW) missed on revenue but reported a narrow beat on earnings. The stock was flat in premarket trading, up about 0.22%.

In this morning’s stock market recap video, I’ll discuss which earnings reports to pay attention to and how they stand to impact the market… a closer look at trading action in the S&P 500 and Nasdaq, and what to expect next… how bond market action stands to impact stocks… which types of trading strategies are or aren’t working right now… where I think technology stocks are headed next… and why I believe the Energy sector is poised to head higher!
