Oil fell and the U.S. dollar index found slight gains as the euro dropped on speculation that the ECB’s actions this week may not meet the big expectations set by the European Central Bank’s President last week.
Treasuries rose as the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P traded mostly slightly lower on worries about the impacts of this week’s ECB and fed meetings.
Among the big names making news in the market today were HSBC, GM, UBS, and Apple.
