Economic Journal - Wednesday, 12/19/2012

(As of 7:05 am pacific)
 
The market looks a little weary after surging over the last week.  Optimism continues as talks in Washington, DC appear headed in a direction that will avert the full effect of the fiscal cliff.  Gold continues its descent while oil continues to rally.  The dollar is generally down against other global currencies.  Oracle announced earnings that beat expectations giving the technology sector a boost.  Look for some profit taking today.  Interest rates have shown a slight increase over the last few days.  There is a lull in the action as markets look for more progress in tax and budget negotiations.
