Good Morning all (and welcome back Highlandlad),
US - Market Reflections - Wednesday 22nd June, 2011
Disappointingly slow recovery together with no hint yet of QE3 are the central points of a poorly received FOMC. The Dow fell into the close, down 2/3 of a percentage point to 12,109. At $94, oil firmed slightly as did gold to $1,550. Concern over Greece pushed down the euro while giving the dollar index a nearly 1/2 percent boost.
Market Focus in the US this evening
Jobless claims are a dominant indicator right now for the health of the economy.
