Economic Journal - Wednesday, 6/11/2014



 (As of 7:15 am PST)

It’s another quiet day on Wall Street today.  Markets opened lower with the Dow leading the major indexes in the retreat.  Many analysts are calling for a summer correction as the market appears topped out at its current levels.  Today’s report from the World Bank is adding to the negative sentiment.  The World Bank cut its global growth forecast for 2014, citing concerns in the Ukraine-Russia crisis and also the rough winter seen in the United States.  The bank trimmed its forecast to 2.8% for the year from its 3.2% forecast previously given earlier this year.  Complacency and low volatility readings over the past several weeks are cause for concern and there’s a sense we may be headed into an overdue correction.
