INES FERRE: Hi Dave. No turnaround Tuesday today, as you just mentioned, the Dow set to end lower, the NASDAQ eking out a gain, and the S&P 500 lower. Taking a look at the Treasury yields, The 5-year Treasury up 12 basis points, the 10-year hitting its highest level since 2011, up 12 basis points. Looking at the sectors, we are seeing the outperformer being technology stocks, followed by energy stocks.

You’ve got utilities, though, and consumer staples that are underperforming. Over on the NASDAQ 100, Tesla up more than 2% and the Chinese ADRs seeing quite a bit of gains.
