And that “put” refers to the belief that the central bank will step in to keep the bottom from falling out of markets.Because markets reveal themselves to be entirely dependent on the Fed to be dovish 100% of the time?A market beholden to central committee planning. https://t.

“Diversification and a desire for safe, liquid assets were the main drivers of buying here,” said the industry body, in a press release Thursday.Earnings Chemical giant DowDuPont DWDP, -2.96% and its spinoff Dow DOW, -1.06% health services group Cigna CI, +1.99% and cereal maker Kellogg K, -1.51% are the big names reporting ahead of the open.
