Stocks Relatively Flat Ahead of Powell Comments Wednesday

Welcome back to need to know everyone. I'm Christine Scher alongside he this morning and the trading day just getting started here at the New York Stock Exchange on the left. You see ready Capital celebrating the open at the NYC and Carmel Therapeutics at the NASDAQ in Times Square. So let's take a look. Here is a live look. It looks like fractional losses across the board. The Dow coming off a double digit of winning gains in the market. That is, and it was its longest win streak, in fact, since 2017. So earnings mostly coming in better than expected. But a big fed decision and comments from the fed on tap tomorrow afternoon, that likely is going to be a market moving event as it typically is the NASDAQ up 3/10 of a percent today. The S and P basically flattened the dow down just 23 points down about 1/10 of a percent.
