Taylor mostly risk off, but tech is not as bad, given earnings are coming in a little bit better than expected. There has been a recent shift in the conversation that tech is being thought of as defensive here, holding up better than people thought. Take a look inside the terminal. A lot of the negative price action that we are seeing stems from that Consumer Spending report we got, the worst ever dip in Consumer Spending. Income and spending was weaker than expected, which means some analysts think that firstquarter gdp data will need to be revised lower as well.
