Economic Journal - Thursday, 4/11/2013

(As of 7:16 am PST)
 
Domestic economic news continues to shine.  Jobless claims fell more than expected, soothing worries about last week's rise.  Data concerning lowered demand for personal computers has hit PC dependent companies hard, with Microsoft, HP, and Apple taking big hits.  International news is light, with Asian markets reflecting the surge in the US markets from yesterday.  Europe is quiet.  Gold is up slightly after yesterday's big hit, and oil is down.  The US dollar is also down against most other currencies reflecting the fact that investors are taking on more risk in this vibrant market.  Positive momentum is likely to persist for the day.
