Good Morning all (thanks Highlandlad),
US - Market Reflections - Thursday 23rd June, 2011
Extending disappointment from yesterday's FOMC decision together with a disappointing rise in weekly jobless claims pushed the Dow 1/2 percentage point lower to 12,050. The Dow had been down over a full percentage point before Reuters broke a story saying Greece and its lenders have reached agreement on a five-year austerity plan. The report pulled the euro off lows and the dollar off highs.
The release of oil from strategic reserves sent oil down more than $2 to just under $92. The move is adding bearish momentum to a market hit by the absence of QE3 and by a wave of soft economic data. Commodities in general fell including a $30 dip for gold to $1,520.
Market Focus in the US this evening
A decline in durable goods orders for May would be a surprise given how steeply orders fell in April.
