daytrades june 10 morning ...

Good Morning Traders,

US - Market Reflections - Thursday, 9th June, 2011

The Dow showed some life, boosted by bargain hunting that made for a nearly 2/3 percentage point gain to 12,124. Jobless claims did rise but only fractionally and are meaningfully lower from the month-ago peak. The nation's trade gap narrowed much more than expected in April helped by that month's lower prices for oil compared to March. Oil continues to hold above $101 for West Texas Intermediate despite wide expectations that yesterday's OPEC stalemate will likely lead to oversupply.

Market Focus in the US this evening

Watch to see if yesterday's rally for the Dow trips overnight rallies in Asia.
