It was typical “day after” Christmas trading today.
With the major indices rangebound for most of the session, the S&P traded in less than a 5 point range (the 4th smallest range of the year).
While the S&P and DOW were quiet, there was a little more action in the NASDAQ. The move was largely due to news that Apple (AAPL) lowered iPhone X shipment projections.
The NASDAQ was down over 40 points at one point and AAPL finished 2.6% lower.
