Good Morning all,
US - Market Reflections - Monday, 13th June, 2011
Bargain hunting following Friday's sell-off along with a small run of acquisitions made for early gains in the stock market that however faded through the session with the Dow ending fractionally changed at 11,952. Concern over slowing growth in China is an increasing factor for the markets and is weakening many commodities including gold which fell $15 to $1,515. Oil, down $2 to $97, was specifically hit by a report out of Saudi Arabia saying the country is already increasing output in the wake of last week's production stalemate at OPEC.
Market Focus in the US this evening
Motor vehicles sales, hit by Japanese effects, seem certain to hurt the May retail sales report which would put the emphasis on non-vehicle components.
