Economic Journal - Monday, 1/18/16



(As of 7:00am PST)
 
The markets are taking a much needed break this Martin Luther King Day Holiday Monday after taking a major hit on Friday. All of the major U.S. indices were down over 2% at the close on Friday amid a smattering of disappointing earnings reports, some weak economic data, falling oil prices and continued concerns in China. Monday was a regular trading day around the world and it looks like global markets could use a break as well with all European and Asian markets trading down with the exception of the Shanghai index which ended the day slightly in the green. Trading will resume tomorrow as earnings season kicks into full gear. Notable reports this week include IBM, Bank of America, Verizon and General Electric.
