LEN –2.5% is adding to continued worries in the housing segment after another weak earnings report. TOL-2.2% KBH-2.6% BZH –3% Shares of GME have added more than 10% after reporting strong Q4 numbers and raising guidance. Treasury yields have been higher throughout the session despite the soft data.
