Interesting trading day with some of the signs of a classic midweek reversal – up Monday, up Tuesday, and up Wednesday morning. Then, the NASDAQ, which led on the way up, leads on the way down. The initial rally was indeed surprising, as data on Industrial Production, PPI, and NY manufacturing were all weaker-than-expected. Crude [...]
