about the relationship between elizabeth holmes and her ex business partner and ex-boyfriend sonny balwaniwe will bring you an update on the trial as she faces 20 years in prison. first, let's get a look at the markets with kriti gupta. kriti: a down day in the markets and an even worse day for technology stocks. you can see behind me, the sea of red. a really important part of this is the big tech selloffs. the nasdaq, it really dropped, and you saw big tech stocks come back up, apple, amazon, microsoft paring some losses. what did do well, of course, a lot of the cyclical trades. this is pretty interesting because it came in tandem to those yields. i want to connect the dots because you have to talk about tech and yields together. at one point, going back to february, you had an inverse correlation. tech really sold off and hit the broader index. today, a much more positive correlation. so, why are you seeing yields higher, tech lower? it has everything to do with month end rebalancing, reallocating to what really did not do so well, of course pulling some money out of treasuries as well
