Are completely blocked off. Look at that backup right now. We are seeing backup all the way past high street, even to fruitvale avenue. Now you can see they are diverting the majority of that traffic off on 66, but this is a surface street right before that so you need to just avoid southbound 880 entirely. If your commute is from the east bay dont even bother jumping on, try to take surface if you can all the way to your morning commute. Start calling your boss because they had estimated this to reopen at around 7 00 a. M. According to chp but judging by these delays even if they do reopen some of those lanes you can still expect to see some of that backup and traffic delay.

Toward the close, just a few hours away from the closing bell. We are mixed right now. Digesting whatl the fed said yesterday, but also the gdp numbers that came out this morning, the second order gdp numbers. A bit of a disappointment there among economists in terms of the topline gdp growth. But we did see consumption of 2. 9 , and that seemed to be a bright spot. Also in the treasury markets, yes, you see the 10 year yield continues to come down. But the twoyear note is rising. The gap continues to narrow and that is because we are expecting september rate hikes. In terms of the currency markets, weve been watching the dollar hover at the fourmonth high. The euro is trading higher again lower again given the dollar strength. Bek a lot of that seems to because the consensus is there will be a fed rate hike in september. For the next two months, that data will be very significant. Betty mark indeed. Lets betty indeed. Mark lets take a look at some of the other top stories. An object f
