Rally,sterday was a huge Massive Gains from last week, ever since the lows from two weeks ago. It was a selloff, but it did not feel dramatic. In february 8, but not a stomachturning selloff. The losers who were the winners are now the losers again. Oil and gas, these guys have been beaten up for so long, eventually turn the corner, nice rally, and these the ones most affected today. Joe treasury market, modest day, buton a risk off it was minimal, just 0. 1 on the twoyear and the 10year. We havent seen much of a decline today. Scarlet china week in weakening its yuan.
