At mid day the major market indexes were all trending in the green. Investors worries were put to ease, at least temporarily, as the federal government pushed through a last minute budget bill on Friday to avoid a potential shut down. Although the deal was welcomed by many, the budget battles are not over as continued controversy over debt ceilings and deficits continue to be debated. With little on the economic calendar for today investors will focus on corporate reports from the first quarter reporting period. Alcoa is scheduled to be the first Dow stock to issue results after the closing bell today. Alcoa will be followed by JPMorgan and Google who are also set to release results later this week. As of close, the market indexes are trending mixed. The Dow was just green at 12,381.11 for the day. The Nasdaq was red at 2,7771.51 to finished and the S&P 500 was red to finish at 1,324.46. Approaching close, the Treasuries 10 year yield was down 0.0020 to 3.57%. Oil prices pull back with a decline of 0.53 to $109.76 a barrel. Gold declined by 0.31% to 1463.40. The U.S. Dollar gained 0.0025 to the Euro. Strong sectors include: office electronics, agricultural chemicals, agricultural products, education services, biotech, life and health insurers.
