Tech stocks continued their weakness, with Apple (AAPL) and Netflix (NFLX) each down 0.9%. Microsoft (MSFT) dropped 1.2%, while Tesla dropped more than 2% as Michael Burry of the Big Short fame revealed a significant short position on the electric carmaker.

With the BoE recently announcing plans to prepare for tapering their asset purchases, this testimony will be closely watched by traders to get any clues as to the banks timing on this, GBP volatility is a strong possibility.
