Economic Journal - Monday, 12/29/2014


(As of 7:10 am PST)


US stocks opened near the unchanged line as the Dow Jones Industrial Average looked to sustain a seven-session winning streak. An empty economic data calendar had investors turning elsewhere for news. Renewed uncertainty over Greece’s political and financial situation sent European stocks lower and may prevent US markets from breaking out today. Asian markets finished Monday’s session mostly higher. Oil is up slightly, trading just above $55 per barrel, while gold and other precious metals are lower. Interest rates and the US dollar are also down. In another holiday shortened week, expect muted market action as trading volumes will remain lower than normal throughout the week.
