Merck is a little bit lower. Walmart and Procter Gamble are all. Off. Dragging down all of the staples including Procter Gamble. I want to take a step back and look at the broader macro picture by looking at the dollar. Were having the first threeday rally so far this year. Doesnt sound like much, but for a year that i see no weaker up threedayout 9 , so far this year isnt a terribly bad story. You would not expect the dollar to appreciate, but we have a lot about rates rising. Focusing on the treasury auction 6039.
