Good Morning all (thanks Highlandlad),
US - Market Reflections - Tuesday 28th June, 2011
Very weak consumer confidence data couldn't dent the markets which continue to rally on expectations that Greece will adopt new austerity measures and lenders will accept new terms on existing debt. The Dow rose by more than one percent to 12,188. The gain cut into demand for the safety of Treasuries as did another disappointing auction, this time a 5-year offering that followed yesterday's soft 2-year offering. The yield on the 5-year note surged by 13 basis points to 1.58 percent. Oil firmed to $93 while gold edged back over $1,500. The euro continues to benefit from Greek hopes, up 1/2 percent with the dollar index in turn down 1/2 percent.
Market Focus in the US this evening
The National Association of Realtors has already promised us a strong pending home sales report for today so it would take a really strong one to move the markets.
