Economic Journal - Tuesday, 9/18/2012

(As of 7:03 am pacific)
 
Stocks are listless this morning.  It feels as if there is a hangover from last week's celebration of the Fed's announcement of QE3.  The dollar is up against most currencies, while oil and gold are down marginally.  Individual company news is weighing on stocks.  Fed Express reiterated its concern about global growth as it cut future estimates.  Though no solid news from Europe or China, there is a negative tone to those areas and that is adding to the hesitancy of investors to bid up stocks.   Expect a mildly positive economic report to stir the pot and create more positive economic sentiment as the day wears on.
