(As of 7:10 am PST)
US stocks have opened higher after a flat day yesterday. Earnings reports are driving markets early
while a soft report on retail sales is keeping the lid on the upward
momentum. Shares of Amazon are up 3% after the company unveiled a mobile payment service for local businesses. Geopolitical tensions in
Ukraine and in the Middle East remain a major risk to the financial markets and
will likely prevent any major upside move in the short term. International markets are higher today. Interest
rates are lower as is the US dollar. Gold is up slightly while is oil is down. It looks like another quiet day on
the markets today.
