1. Today is a much more subdued trading session after yesterday's wild action. yesterday, the market came roaring back into the closing bell. The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) actually finished positive by the close. Today, we are back to a much lighter volume session, so it will be important to see the charts by the close.
2. Now this should be the talk of town right now. Yesterday, news was released that Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said that rates might need to rise to keep the economy from overheating. Last night, she walked back that comment when speaking to the Wall Street Journal CEO Council Summit. She said, "so let me be clear: That's not something I'm predicting or recommending."
This should tell every investor that the central bank knows it's the only game in town keeping these markets up right now.
3. Dogecoin fiasco it was obviously a coordinated hit job on Elon Musk. How else do a hit job on the world's second richest man? No self-respectiing crypto "investor" would ever sell because of a joke on a lame show.
