Treasury yields:

U.S. 3-month

0.112%

U.S. 2-year

0.309%

U.S. 10-year

1.827%


The biggest news was after the close when Apple (AAPL) & Amazon (AMZN) reported earnings.  AAPL was down 7 during regular trading but recovered 3 after the close even though it missed estimates.  AMZN lost 5 during the day & another 2 after the close.  These are based on gut reactions, but it looks like they will set up for a negative open tomorrow.  Sorry for the abbreviated post, but Blogger, from Google (GOOG), was giving me problems.
