Now investor interest turns to a couple of big IPOs set to debut tomorrow. Square (SQ) and Match Group (MTCH) are both preparing to price their offerings this afternoon. The range for Jack Dorsey's Square is $11 to $13, while Match Group—home of the Match.com and Tinder dating services—expects to price between $12 and $14.

Winners and losers

The two retailers can both blame lackluster earnings for their slides. TripAdvisor (TRIP), Phillips van Heusen (PVH), and ConAgra (CAG) are all higher. Investors seem to be giving their seal of approval to the food giant's plan to split in two.
