A subsequent pullback saw the price bounce off that breakout level, which also lined up with the 50-day moving average. This is a sector full of low-volatility, high yielding stocks that have often provided downside protection in down market phases. ES just broke to a new three-month high this week, and the stock features a dividend yield around 4.5%. When the broad market averages take a bearish turn, equity investors are often best served by getting defensive. These three stocks feature improving technical profiles, along with dividend yields well above the average for the S & P 500.

SummarySummary Companies FTSE 100 up 0.2%, FTSE 250 adds 0.1%May 16 (Reuters) - UK's main stock index edged up on Tuesday as weakness in the sterling supported some internationally-focused consumer firms, although Vodafone slumped after it forecast a big drop in fresh cash flow. The telecom giant's stock (VOD.L) fell 4% to become the top decliner on the FTSE 100 (.FTSE) after the company announced job cuts and forecast a 1.5 billion euro ($1.65 billion) decline in free cash flow this year. However, the blue-chip FTSE 100 rose 0.2% and the mid-cap FTSE 250 (.FTMC) added 0.1%. The currency's weakness lifted shares of dollar earners like Unilever Plc (ULVR.L) and British American Tobacco Plc (BATS.L). Industrial metals miners (.FTNMX551020) slipped 0.2%, tracking easing copper prices on investor worries of patchy economic recovery in top consumer China.

British American Tobacco PLC said it had abandoned its North Korean business, but continued selling tobacco to the regime using a front company, officials said. Photo: Igor Golovniov/SOPA Images/LightRocket/Getty ImagesWASHINGTON—A U.K. tobacco company agreed to pay more than $635 million to resolve charges that it conspired to violate U.S. sanctions by selling cigarettes to North Korea in what Justice Department officials described as a brazen scheme to conceal illicit business by routing it through a third-party company in Singapore. The settlement payment was the largest penalty ever levied on a company for violating U.S. sanctions on Pyongyang. The company, British American Tobacco PLC, entered into a deferred prosecution agreement with federal prosecutors over illegal sales that took place over more than a decade, even after the company announced that it had abandoned its North Korean business, U.S. officials said. But BAT, which makes Lucky Strike, Dunhill and Pall Mall cigarettes, continued selling tobacco products to the isolated regime through a Singaporean front company.
☆ FTSE 100 steady, midcaps fall ahead of key Fed meeting

UK pharmaceuticals stocks (.FTNMX201030) rose 1.2% after GSK (GSK.L) said it expects sales to rise between 8% and 10%, sending its shares up 1.2%. The blue-chip FTSE 100 (.FTSE) was flat, while the mid-cap FTSE 250 (.FTMC) fell 0.4% by 0934 GMT, dragged down by budget airline Wizz Air (WIZZ.L) after it said uncertainty for consumers rose. Third-quarter earnings among companies on the FTSE 100 have so far painted a mixed picture, as some firms performed better than expected as COVID restrictions eased globally, while some battled supply chain snags and surging inflation. British American Tobacco Plc fell 3%, to the bottom of FTSE 100, after Goldman Sachs downgraded its performance rating for the stock to "neutral".
