Financials remain unloved

The Dow was down around -500 points at the low. The Nasdaq moved back below the 2017 closing price at 6903 on it's way to a low at 6878.98, but rebounded to close at 7020. Apple was under pressure early on reports that a Chinese court ruled in favor of Qualcomm for a patent infringement. However, Apple does not ship the phones in question with the software the anymore. So they were not phased by what seemed like a hurtful decision.

Apple closed the day up $1.11 up 0.66% at $169.60. The low for the day reached down to $163.33. The low close for the year is at $155 back in early February. The high reached as high as $232 in early October.
