dow2664 It appeared, prior to opening bell this morning, that the DJIA and other primary indices in the U.S. would continue to trend in positive territory for a second straight day. Investor optimism is wavering and the trends were up and down today however. Economic posts have been mixed. Global reports regarding the ongoing debt crisis in Greece still plagues investors and U.S. news today posted weaker than expected. The first time claims data via the Labor Department was worse than expected. According to the Labor Department, the number of people applying for unemployment benefits moved higher by 2,000 to 414,000 last week. Economists expected that claims would drop and so the news of the rise was not well received. In addition, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke spoke today but did not affirm any beliefs that the Feds would quickly move to stimulate the economy. The primary stock indices continued to drop lower as close approached. The Dow Jones Industrial Average was negative by .61 percent at 11,345. The Nasdaq was lower by .43 percent at 2,538 and the S&P 500 was red by .69 percent at 1,190. The dollar gained today versus the euro and gold futures were on the rise. Gold contract was higher by 2.20 percent at 1857.50 per troy ounce as close finalized in the U.S. today. Frank Matto
