About market, TAPE faced selling due to uncertainty on US political front, issues like government shutdown, tax reform and famous health care repeal and replace is stuck in the mud. Indices closed near low of the day. S&P 500 closed below 50 DMA. Chinese stocks did very well and late surge in optical communications stocks. Nasdaq barely closed above 50 DMA, it needs to hold that level.
