The markets saw more volatility today as news came out that Trump's chief strategist, Steve Bannon would be replaced. The Dow 30 was lower by 76, the S&P 500 was lower by only 4 thanks to support from a strong day in oil, and the Nasdaq 100 lost 5. Next week will be an important one as traders will continue to question the S&P 500 which broke its 8 month long uptrend Thursday. Also there is very little in the way of scheduled economic numbers so expect Washington news to have more impact on the day to day markets.
