Economic Journal - Monday, 3/4/2013

(As of 7:24 am PST)
 
In a quiet day for US economic reports, the market is down on international news.  The Chinese market took a tumble with leaders attempting to rein in a high flying real estate market.  Measures aimed at curbing speculation in that market took a heavy toll with the Shanghai Index down over 3%.  Commodities are very quiet, most trading near unchanged.  Mortgage interest rates ticked lower.  There are few ill effects thus far from the imposition of the sequestration (forced budget cuts).  It looks like a negative day on tap with little positive action in view to turn things around.
