- Date: 2nd October 2019
- Summary: NEW YORK, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES (OCTOBER 2, 2019) (REUTERS) (SOUNDBITE) (English) PHOENIX FINANCIAL SERVICES CHIEF MARKET ANALYST, WAYNE KAUFMAN, SAYING: "That is, you know, we saw that yesterday. You don't frequently get a particular piece of news or indicator that you can definitely say caused the market to move one way or another. But yesterday, when we got the ISM numbers, the market had been up a lot, and it was just a complete 180 as soon as that number came out. And then we finished the day with better-than-one-percent losses, and then that's followed through today. And so, the markets in a sell-off here, and I think it's getting getting near the end of this of this."
