Economic Journal - Wednesday, 11/27/2013

(as of 7:15 AM PST)

Mixed economic data this morning has stocks slightly higher.  The jobless claims number came in above expectations, with claims dropping by 10,000.  Durable goods orders looked very weak, with a 16% decline, but most of it was due to aircraft orders, which always skews the volatility of that number.  Without the volatile transportation sector, orders were down less than 1%.  Gold is up moderately and oil continues its downward track as investors evaluate the effect of more Iranian oil on the market.  Interest rates are stable. 

We’d like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving.  We are especially thankful for all of our wonderful clients!
