Economic Journal - Monday, 11/25/2013

(as of 7:30 PST)
 
A deal between Iran and the major economic powers of the world has created a buzz in the investment world today.  There is a question about the reception that the deal will receive by both Democrats and Republicans in Congress, but, at least for now the, story is creating activities on several investment fronts.  Oil is falling heavily since a deal would release more Iranian oil into the marketplace.  Gold is falling moderately since the deal seems to represent a reduction in international tensions.  Stocks are mixed but there is a clear indication that positive momentum is on the upswing adding juice to a market that appeared tapped out and ready for a bout of profit taking.  International stock markets are responding favorably to the news, boosting investor enthusiasm.
