'Market Reflections' from the last trading session (13.10.2010)
"Asian gains following yesterday's FOMC minutes, minutes that confirm expectations for new liquidity, helped give the Dow a seven tenths boost to 11,096. The dollar is extending its slide, down another four tenths on the dollar index to just over 77. Talk of currency devaluations continue to give gold a lift, hitting another at $1,374. Rates are little changed while oil is at $83." [Source: nasdaq.com., Mark Pender] ______________________________________________________
