Hello Everyone

All three "Markets" continue to fall, as fears about the Ebola virus weigh heavily on the airline & hotel sectors.

Most investors seem to have a short time worry over major thinks like wars and disasters and tend to revert back very quickly to every day life of the economy, and for that reason I think the Unemployment Claims 1.30pm (BST) showing 1k better off in the "Forecast" might get the upward rally going again if a better-then-expected result (Green) is in the "Actual"


Close of trading:

The Dow Jones Global Indexes: 16141.74 -173.45 (-1.06%)

Nasdaq Composite Index: 4215.32 -11.85 (-0.28%)

The S&P 500 Index: 1862.49 -15.21 (-0.81%)

Gold continues to claim, as it nears the halfway mark of last months downfall (from 1287.51 to 1207.92) after closing yesterday at 1241.76.

Current price: 1242.43

Good luck

Hello Everyone

After a better than expected Unemployment Claims yesterday both the Nasdaq and S&P 500 closed slightly up, while the Dow remained in the "Red".

The Building Permits & Housing Starts 1.30pm (BST) could continue the upward momentum if the "Forecast" proves to be right.

Close of trading:

The Dow Jones Global Indexes: 16117.24 -24.50 (-0.15%)

Nasdaq Composite Index: 4217.39 +2.07 (+0.05%)

The S&P 500 Index: 1862.76 +0.27 (+0.01%)

Gold slipped back a bit yesterday to close at 1238.67.
