About market, TAPE was under selling pressure and closed @ low of the day, stocks were overbought. Internals were weak. Fed minutes @ 2 PM will dictate how we react, there may be hint of 1 more interest rate hike, which market will accept without any turmoil. Oil continued its run but it was no help to equities today. George Soros halved his gold exposure and doubled down on his bearish bet on the market along with many others, who knows, they may have to do triple down soon.
