US equities struggle again but finish off the lows

The selling in US equities were more widespread today and came with a healthy bit of intrigue about President Biden’s future.

• Dow Industrial Average average -1.3%
• S&P 500 index -0.8%
• NASDAQ Comp -0.7%
• Russell 2000 -1.9%
• Toronto TSX Comp -0.5%

The numbers aren’t pretty but all indexes closed modestly above the session lows, in part due to some late buying, particularly in beaten-up chip stocks. Nvidia finished the day up 3.1%.
