Goldilocks has a bit of an anxiety attack ahead of the weekend

What had been up earlier this week was down today. U.S. stocks retreated with the Standard & Poor’s 500 stock index down 0.90% to move back below 2100 again. Emerging market stocks fell too with the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF dropping 2.53%. Oil tumbled with U.S. benchmark West Texas Intermediate crude down 3.14% to $48.97 a barrel, below the closely watched $50 a barrel marker
