Uh, the NASDAQ composite's down 69, so it's like what are we doing here? Like, it's just, it, it's, it's not a day that is particularly interesting in, in equities.
Uh, what do we have going on with gold? Gold's down $29 an ounce to $41.86 after a little bit of a run late last week.
Crude oil, West Texas Intermediate, up $1.99 a barrel to 93.83. AAA national average for gas is at 435 and five tenths, down three tenths overnight.
