TODAY’s FACTORS AND EVENTS

Wall Street finished on a mixed note in a light day in terms of corporate and economic news, as Technology shares sold-off alongside data revealing the largest inflows into bonds for 122 weeks.

By the closing bell, the Nasdaq-100 had fallen 2.44%, its worst one-day performance since September.

In prescient fashion, strategists at Bank of America-Merrill Lynch had pointed out the day before how Technology had become the most crowded trade by large-cap active funds that it had ever been, particulary the so-called FANG (the acronym for Facebook-Amazon.com-Netflix-Google) stocks.
