S&P 500 Snapshot: Another Day Of Selling
Doug Short | Mar 25, 2015 01:29AM ET
The S&P 500 dipped at the open, quickly recovered to the flat line and then rose to its 0.15% intraday high in the late morning. During the lunch hour the index began a steady selloff to its -0.61% close, which was also the intraday low. Today's decline was accompanied by relatively little change in the dollar Index, up 0.11%, and West Texas Crude Spot Price was up 0.04% as I type this.
The yield on the US 10 Year T-Note fell three bps to close at 1.88%.
