  • NASDAQ index -153.63 points or -0.87% at 17530.35.

A snapshot of the small-cap Russell 2000 shows a modest up 2.65 points or 0.12% at 2185.14.

Yields are now higher after trading lower earlier in the day. The Empire manufacturing index came in at 11.5 versus -4.75 expectations and -4.7 last month. The rise was the best since April 2022. HMMM. Rates were down 3-5 basis points earlier today. Those declines have been erased.
