Finished sharply lower
The market plunged after weak manufacturing data and renewed fears aboout Greece's debt problems sparked a sell-off. European officials failed to reach an agreement on bailing out Greece. The dollar rallied almost 2% against the euro. The implied volatility spiked more than 16%. The Labor Department's consumer price index rose 0.2% in May. We expect more volatility this week.
