Economic Journal - Wednesday, 5/27/2015



(As of 7:15 am PST)

Stocks are rebounding from yesterday’s losses which saw the Dow and S&P500 suffer their biggest one day declines in over three weeks. A strengthening dollar on the heels of positive economic data and hawkish comments from Fed Chair Janet Yellen last week sent stocks tumbling Tuesday. Markets have recovered some but not all losses from yesterday as volume still remains relatively low. A light data calendar today and a quiet Fed have investors looking elsewhere for news. Earnings from Tiffany & Co. beat expectations sending the stock higher by 7%, while a report from Michael Kors missed estimates sending shares tumbling in the early going. Overseas action is quiet today, with not much to update out of the Greece situation. Asian markets finished Wednesday’s session mixed while European stocks are rallying after yesterday’s selloff. Gold and oil are mixed while interest rates inched higher after falling yesterday.
