It was yet another
quiet session with no market moving data. There wasn’t even any notable news

In the
markets, there’s been very little movement. The only notable mover has been
crude oil as it extended the drop below the Monday’s spike level on Libyan oil
production halt news.

Looking
ahead, we just have Nvidia reporting earnings after the close.
