Economic Journal - Monday, 9/24/2012

(As of 6:56 am pacific)
 
'Risk off' today.  Most assets are on the downside.  Oil, gold and most commodities are down as the US dollar is surging against most currencies.  Global growth concerns and restive news out of Europe are raising investor concerns so there is a strong move into US Treasuries.  Interest rates are down slightly.  There are no significant economic reports out today so expect this negative trend to continue as the day wears on.  Watch out for complacency.  It is possible that this negative opening might snowball into a significantly down day, something we haven't seen in awhile.   Volatility is on the rise.
