Tuesday was a relatively flat day for the U.S. broad markets. There wasn’t much, if any, change in the price of crude oil. Most of the significant moves that happened on Tuesday were earnings driven. In terms of the S&P 500 Sectors, financial stocks seemed to fare best on the day with the exception of the Retail REITs industry. Retail stocks in general suffered on Tuesday, and it begs the question of when where there will be a bottom to how far these can fall.

Gold was down about 1% at $1,277.50.
