daytrades september 13 morning ...

Good morning Traders (and welcome back Highlandlad & Endless - hope you both had a fantastic week off last week),

DOW Snapshot from previous trading session

"After one big leap back and three baby steps forward, stocks ended up going practically nowhere last week. This week could be a different story. Analysts have been saying all summer that they're waiting until mid-September for stocks to take direction, and now mid-September is here. As traders regroup after the shortened holiday week, the upcoming economic calendar offers several potential market-movers that could take the lead.

Coming up: the latest readings on retail sales, industrial production and both producer and consumer prices. In addition, bank stocks may react to new guidelines on capital reserves unveiled Sunday by the international Basel Committee of regulators." [Source: cnnmoney.com]
