Not much changed over the course of the afternoon, with quiet trading conditions ahead of tomorrow's employment report. Equities started the day lower despite some better-than-expected employment data and central bank easing in Europe and China. Stocks made lows a half-hour after the open on slightly worse than expected ISM services data, but managed to show some improvement off the lows, with the retail and technology sectors outperforming throughout the day.
