Meanwhile...
Ex Fed Chair... now US T-Sec' Yellen didn't help today, when she was effectively touting higher interest rates. Its kinda unusual for the T-Sec to talk this way. By default, higher rates would be bullish the US banks, not least Bank of America.

Volatility picked up, the VIX printing 21.85, if settling +6.4% to 19.48.
