BRIAN SOZZI: All right, but first over to Yahoo Finance's Ines Ferre for a YFi Interactive rundown. Ines?

INES FERRE: And Brian, just taking a look at the markets right now, we are seeing accelerating losses. We're looking at the NASDAQ that's down 2.3% right now. And as you had mentioned, the 10-year really having so much to do with this at 1.8%.

Looking at the sector action, we are seeing now all 11 sectors of the S&P 500 in the red, with consumer discretionary and technology that's leading to that downside. And looking at the NASDAQ 100, a lot of red here that we're watching. Amazon right now down 3%, dropping to its lowest level since May. We're watching also Microsoft down 2%. Keep in mind, Microsoft is now down 10% from its December peak.

We should also note Tesla down 3% right now, its fifth day of losses for Tesla. In fact, this downward pressure you're also seeing is despite a bullish note from Goldman Sachs, with Mark Delaney at Goldman Sachs naming Tesla as a top pick for 2022, putting $1,200 price target on the stock.

And then we're also watching Facebook down 3%. Nvidia down almost 5% right now.

We're watching also the meme stocks as well, a lot of red here, as these risky assets are taking a hit today. And then just looking at our trending tickers, we've been watching on our YFi Interactive board that Zynga is up 47%. Of course, this is after that takeover deal from Take-Two.

And then Tilray up 18%. This is in the green right now after better-than-expected bottom line for its latest quarter. Its adjusted earnings per share coming in at a little more than a penny. The Street was expecting a loss of $0.11 a share. But if you take a look at a one-year chart, you can still see that Tilray has had a lot of pressure over the last year, a much-needed bump today, as the overall markets are down, Soz.

BRIAN SOZZI: All right. Thanks so much, Ines.
