From July 27th to Aug 3rd (five trading days), the daily NYMO traded between negative 70 and negative 90, while the S&P 500 fell further, hit a low of 1,235, and closed at 1,260 on Aug 3rd.
Over the next three trading days, Aug 4th, 5th, and 8th, the daily NYMO fell from negative 70 to below negative 140, while the S&P 500 fell from 1,260 to 1,120 [140 point fall].
