Economic Journal - Thursday, 11/21/2013

(as of 7:20 PST)
 
Investors were jolted into action this morning.  A surprising good number on a reduction in jobless claims has provided market indexes a boost after yesterday's negative day.  International news overnight was mixed, but solid overall.  Gold continues its tailspin, down nearly 2% while oil is near unchanged.  Projections of a 10% drop in markets from Goldman Sachs has been the buzz this morning. Retail numbers and sales projections for the following quarter continue to be weak.  Inflation appears well in check giving the Federal Reserve more options for quantitative easing.
