Stocks dropped steadily today, going out near the lows of the day.

The recent rally back from the previous plunge has ended, at about the fifty percent retracement level.

Gold rose sharply to $1520 in the afternoon before settling back to $1511 in what was a clear flight to safety.

There will be a stock market option expiration on Friday.

Have a pleasant evening.
