Hello Everyone

The markets end in a mixed note yesterday, likewise the data had the same effect, with the ISM Manufacturing PMI showing "Green" while all other reports (4 in total) light-up "Red" including the ISM Manufacturing Prices.

Today could have that "down and up" as opposed to a "up and down" day as data results are released, but most focus will be on the Congressional Elections, where a good result by the "Republicans" could see new records smashed.

Close of trading:

The Dow Jones Global Indexes: 17366.24 -24.28 (-0.14%)

Nasdaq Composite Index: 4638.91 +8.17 (+0.18%)

The S&P 500 Index: 2017.81 -0.24 (-0.01%)

Gold continued on the downside yesterday closing at 1164.57

Current price: 1166.24

Good luck

Hello Everyone

Yesterday saw both the Dow and S&P 500 drop off record highs as Crude Oil Inventories bad result added to the earlier bad Unemployment Claims data.

Today sees the Core Retail Sales m/m, Retail Sales m/m both at 1.30pm (GMT) followed by loads of other reports thereafter, most if not all seem to favor a "good" "Forecast" result, so maybe one or two "Reds" might cause a sell off.

Close of trading:

The Dow Jones Global Indexes: 17652.79 +40.59 (+0.23%)

Nasdaq Composite Index: 4680.14 +5.01 (+0.11%)
