Off. We are looking at markets this morning, firmer tone. 102 points higher, nasdaq up almost 50 points, all three majors rebound yesterday on trade and currency fears, beijing and washington still in stalemate with china digging in for drawnout fight, pretty good market yesterday, lindsey, your reaction . Yeah, im actually surprised the market is taking everything that we learned through the last couple of days in such good stride, again, today like you said at the top of the show you see the yuan being weakened. Not to the extent we saw sunday night which sent the market into kneejerk reaction.
