Good Morning traders,
US Market Report:
U.S. stocks gave up an early advance and closed little changed Monday as investors looked ahead to corporate reports due throughout the week.
Stocks posted broad-based gains earlier in the session on a spate of deal news and a drop in oil prices following talk of a cease fire in Libya. But the tone turned more cautious in the afternoon, as investors were awaiting the early results of the first-quarter reporting period. [Source: cnnmoney.com]
Market Reflections - Monday, 11th April, 2011
Oil fell back $4 to $109 on hopes for a Libyan settlement but it didn't help stocks which were little changed in another light session. Alcoa issued a mixed statement after the close, confirming full year demand growth of 12% but coming up a little bit short on first-quarter sales. [Source: bloomberg.com]
