The primary index composites in the U.S. have been pressured by the negative
economic news posting recently. News in the U.S. and overseas has been skewed
negative and index composites have dropped lower as a result. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average fell lower overall for the last trading week by just over 4
percent. The string of negative finishes have been adding up and investors
expect this week to be volatile as well. Investors are still attempting to
process the report from Morgan Stanley that stated that the U.S. and European
economies are dangerously close to a recession. The news, paired with the
negative momentum that has built over the last several weeks, continues to be
debilitating for the marketplace. Futures though this morning are posting values
in the green. Futures for the Dow, Nasdaq and S&P 500 were posting green prior
to opening bell this morning and as the halfway point in the trading session
approached, index composites were still trending in positive territory. The
opening day could present some relief for index composites and stock share
value. Currently, Google Inc. is posting in the green. GOOG share value is
posting positive by 2.28 percent at 502.11. Previous close for Google posted at
490.92 according to Google Finance. The opening morning of the week brings some
relief for stock value and index composites. Frank Matto
