Thats the largest selloff in years. For more on what you can expect ahead of tomorrows opening bell, lets bring in now cnbcs sue herera. Sue, thanks for being with us tonight. Pleasure. Fridays selloff left investors across the board feeling skittish, as we saw, but as we move into monday is that something well see continue . I do think investors are nervous. They were nervous on friday, obviously, from that selloff, and it will probably continuing in the Early Morning hours of wall street. We dont, of course, know how much further the dow might fall, but keep in mind in past crises, a lot of times we get initial Early Morning selling, but then our market is one of the best in the world, and so investors who are looking for safety in past crises have actually gone into the stock market in the afternoon, so i would not be surprised to see a bit of a turnaround on wall street later in tomorrows afternoon session. One of the things always top of mind once we Start Talking about market jitters, Interest Rates and 401 k s. Right. How much of an impact could fridays and even tomorrows activities have on both of those . Interest rates moved lower on friday because, as people moved into safer treasuries, that pushed Interest Rates down, so i expect Interest Rates to stay low for some time to come. One, because of chinas economic crisis and the fact that people are moving into our treasury market, but, two, because the u. S. Economys recovery is still a little bit fragile. Were doing better but still have a ways to go. So Interest Rates from the analysts ive been talking to anyway are expected to remain low for at least the next month or so. Now, in terms of 401 k ese, yes, a number of them probably did take a hit on friday, but if you add to your 401 k on a regular basis, sometimes youre buying when prices are high and sometimes youre buying when prices are low, so it tends to even out, but if youre nervous about fridays activity, its a good time to reach out to your Financial Adviser and make sure that youre tolerance for risk is where it should be in this market.
