Another big gap up at the open day that then spent the rest of the day grinding sideways and lower. The Nasdaq 100 even went negative by the close. There was a lot of rotation with small caps leading in all the sectors that have been underperforming, while the leading sectors such as gold miners and growth stocks took a beating.
