Original post: Let’s do a quick mid-dray roundup of where things stand.
The big loser is the NASDAQ, down 3.5%. The S&P 500 is hot on its tail down 3.1%. The Dow is off 2.8%. All of these are pretty close to the lows of the day.
Things are ugly in the commodities space, too with oil below $65! Remember, just a few days ago we were looking at oil around $90.
Gold is off $5.
Volatility is going nuts, with the Vix up 25%.
