What BBN said about it

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe S and P lost point two two, the Nasdaq the same.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe Russell dropped one point three one percent. The ten-year yield sits at five point two seven seven, and Yahoo Finance blames bond market jitters.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHank, the S and P pulled back from a record. That's a gift. The market is just crouching before it jumps.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIt's crouching because the ten-year is at five point two seven seven, Vera.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorIndustrials sank one point eight two percent and Caterpillar fell five point five.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorOverseas wasn't kind.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe Dax lost one point three five percent, the Stoxx fifty fell one point four seven, and the Kospi dropped one point nine eight.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorEurope is sliding in unison, like a choir at a funeral. I've never been prouder of a continent.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAs we told you earlier, Trump is disavowing allies who did work for a pro-Russia government in the Balkans.

Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNew tonight, The Hill says Senator Thom Tillis is criticizing Trump advisers over work for a Russia-aligned Bosnia group.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorA senator criticizing advisers is just healthy feedback. Our crypto guest from the island said the same thing, probably.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorVera, that guest runs a currency backed by vibes. Bitcoin fell two point seven two percent and Ether four point seven.

Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorThe vibes are in arrears.
