(US) Market Trading Hours Summary: Indices retreat despite Netflix blowout
Summary:
Stocks moved lower as volatility resumed after yesterday's market surge. Housing data stayed soft, suggesting at least one portion of the US economy is muted despite the strong labor market and robust overall economic growth. Netflix subscribers surged once again, but gains have backed well off of post-market highs from last evening. Treasury prices drifted higher as risk-off flows are likely being aided once again by uncertainty surrounding Brexit and US/China trade relations. Crude futures dipped towards $70 in the WTI contract following weekly inventory data. The Greenback found a modest bid ahead of the release of the US Treasury's global currency report.
