Financials join energy as hardest hit sector today
The dream of higher interest rates is looking a little
fuzzier at the moment, as China
leads markets lower again, and the Fed's Eric Rosengren suggests the conditions
for a rate hike have still yet to be met. If Friday's payroll number
disappoints - and there's at least some reason to expect that - a Sept. move
looks off the table.
