It was a nervous day on Wall Street as all three indexes took a shot straight down losing all the big gains from Friday. Today’s anxiety was a combo of damage from Helene, rising energy prices, bad news from tech names like Amazon, Google and Apple, rising tensions in the Middle East and, last but not least, the coming whopper expected from Milton. All in all, everyone spent the day covering their bets while waiting for CPI and the start of Q3 earnings later this week. Volume came in at 11.39 billion, a tad below the 12.06 billion average.
