One interesting thing is we finally have a little bit of strength for the dollar after the fed yesterday in a while range, now slightly higher. This is tampering gold. A gold rally is on pause. Not a strong Risk Appetite on the day to say the least. David at the same time, we had the big tech hearings with the four ceos getting beaten up. We had some big earnings today. Does it look like tech might be holding up a bit better . That tech hearing yesterday, they lucked out, or investors lucked out to some degree on the fact the fed was also happening that day.
