2 Top Stocks Holding Up Better Than Most Leaders
Given Thursday’s market sell-off, it’s not too surprising that one more Sector Leader fell out of the list, leaving three stocks in Friday’s IBD. LinkedIn (LNKD) and Arista Networks (ANET) made their exits, while Regeneron Pharmaceuticals (REGN) rejoined NetEase (NTES) and Ulta Beauty (ULTA).

ForexLive Americas FX news wrap: Non-farm payrolls lifeline sinks
Forex news for January 8, 2015:
– US November wholesale trade sales -1.0% vs 0.0% expected
– Gold down $5 to $1104
– WTI crude down 34-cents to $32.93
– S&P 500 down 21 points to 1922
Non-farm payrolls looked like it would come to the rescue of the stock market and USD/JPY. It was a great report save for the weak wage growth and USD/JPY instantly shot to 118.80 from 118.30 but that turned out the be the high of the day and it was erased in 10 minutes. From there it was a steady stream of selling all the way to 117.32 just before the close. That’s narrowly below Thursday’s low.
