It's The Economy Stupid: Market Close

U.S. stocks rose, halting the first two-day drop in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index in three weeks, as investors assessed factory data and earnings, searching for clues on when the Federal Reserve may trim stimulus.  Better-than-forecast corporate results and Fed stimulus have helped the S&P 500 rally 24 percent this year as it challenges 2009 for the best annual gain in the past decade. The gauge jumped 4.5 percent in October for the biggest advance in three months and closed at a record Oct. 29.   Of the 368 S&P 500 companies that have reported results for the third quarter, 75 percent exceeded analysts’ predictions for profit, while 53 percent beat sales estimates.  Profits for S&P 500 members increased about 4.1 percent in the period as sales climbed 2.9 percent.

 

Nasdaq OMX Group Inc. (aka The Glitch Market) closed the sixth-largest U.S. options exchange more than five hours early because of a technical error.  The Nasdaq IT department is headed by a committee made up of Curly, Larry & Moe.

 

Treasury 10-year note yields rose to the highest levels in three weeks after a gauge of U.S. manufacturing expanded at a faster pace than forecast. The Institute for Supply Management factory data was a little on the strong side, so it puts the tapering fear back into the market and we start to get higher yields.

 

Crude Oil, Natural Gas, Gold and Silver were all down today.

 

Have a GREAT weekend!  Ciao baby!!!
