mary thompson has joined me. what driven this bell? >> it's been an interesting day.in the morning, the global sell offcoming into that, but once again oil is the lead story. we did see oil lower earlier, and then it bounced back after the distillates, the drawdown in inventory and distillates of gasoline, and that turned. >>> and the stock 600 in europe ended down just over 2%. that's because oil hadn't bounced yet. and of the s&p today, one sector hasn't enjoyed it, still in the red. >> we should point out it too has recovered. basically i believe and a number of other people believe are being hid by a double whammy. also the flat and yield curve. if you look at what's happened in the yield, some of the big banks most notably, if you look at a chart of certainly bank of america, they track almost exclusively with where the yield on the ten-year has gone. what they're looking for is a steeper yield curve. that would help with the earnings, but the concerns continue to be the flat yield. >> mary, very quickly, for lots of volatility, what are volumes like today? >> ve

let's get to mary thompson. >> very choppy open here on wall street.e markets have been fluctuating between gains and losses since the opening bell. right now the dow jones down just about 12 points. i'll remains a focus here in the u.s. i wanted to mention the vix, on friday it closed close to the 200-day moving average, an area it has not broken below in all of 2016. it's rebounded a bit. nevertheless, as it approaches, it's something to watch, this is a fear index. so a spike in the vix means higher volatility in the u.s. in asia overnight, we saw weakness in the asian markets after china cut its reserve requirements. in europe, deflation numbers were disappointing. it raised expectations we could see added simplus in europe. as a result european markets have come off their lows. in the commodities markets, oil is higher today. nat gas weaker because of forecast force warm weather. gold continuing to get a bid. copper, while lower, also off the lows on expectations for added stimulus. quick check of the energy sector. this group is leading the marke

mary thompson is here for the closing countdown.'s review how we did in this month for the major averages the dow for the month, i have to look at the monitor, finishing virtually flat. with today's telloff. for the price of oil for the month of february, we're going to finish about a gain of half a percent. even with the 3% gain and finally the 10-year yield, i suspect will have moved lower because we're down at one point and started at roughly 2%. >> it looks like the s&p and nasdaq will be lower for the month as well. >> you saw the s&p break below a moving average and in a rare break from the correlation we've seen the markets moving lower as oil maintained its gains. but we didn't get good data either here in the u.s. and poor data from overseas as well. even though that raised expectations for added stimulus, investors weren't buying it. volume continues to be light as it has been. we have a lot of important economic data coming up in the week ahead. investors maybe sitting on their wall lets. >> -- that jobs number, that will

and that story starts with a league in 1956 two women, mary white and mary ann thompson were sit together at a christian family movement picnic breastfeeding their babies and limenting the fact not many other people were breastfeeding their babies and mothers didn't have enough support if they chose to breastfed -- breast-feed. the center piece of their project was breastfeeding because already, right at the inception, right at the beginning, breastfeeding was symbolic of a larger set of philosophy which included the mother staying at home and nurturing the children and mothers shouldn't work once they have children and the role of the father as the breadwinner. the conception of family and philosophical picture that went along with the focus on breastfeeding. so already you have the rise or the beginning ways of breastfeeding advocacy using breastfeeding as an analogy. the next big movement is the nestle boycott in the 1970's. nestle and other formula companies looked out on the developing world and saw nothing but a vast untapped network of potential formula feeders. so they initiate ag
