Stocks ended last session in the green after overcoming a flat start. The index composite outcomes from last session were not enough to overcome the negative action from sessions earlier in the week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average, Nasdaq and S&P 500 ended the last session green though and investors are hoping that will continues this week. As we move into a new week, investors are anxiously observing opening trends and how the news out of the Middle East will affect market outcomes. So far, indexes are still up for the year. Monday will open with processing of additional reports relating to the constantly changing news stemming from the disaster in Japan, but also developing conflicts happening in the Middle east. Oil prices will be a focal point ounce again and inflation potentials will continue to remain a concern. World economic reports will be the focal point throughout Monday’s trading session. On Tuesday, a report on imports and exports will post and prior to opening bell, the Empire Manufacturing Survey is due. Housing market data will post this day as well via the National Association of Home Builders report scheduled. Economists anticipate that this report will be slightly better this month than last. Along this same vein, the February housing starts and building permits report will post during the first half of trading on Wednesday. In addition to this report Wednesday, the Producer Price Index will post via the Commerce Department. The Producer Price Index is a measure of wholesale inflation and is expected to have bumped up slightly. Thursday will be a busy day for economic reports. The government’s weekly report on initial jobless claims is scheduled this day. It rose last week but is expected to have dropped from the previous week’s numbers. In addition to this report, the U.S. consumer price index will also post and this report will provide data on inflation. The price index is expected to have risen. Adding to the flurry of information this day will be the Philadelphia Fed Index for February which is a regional reading on manufacturing. Friday reporting will be minimal and the momentum created earlier in the week will help to support trending on the last trading session of the week. World news developments will help to push stock market trending this day as there are no major economic reports scheduled to post. Author: Frank Matto
