The primary indices in the U.S. finished mixed last session. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average closed last session green, but the Nasdaq and the S&P 500
closed out in the red. The Dow Jones Industrial Average finished the session
green by 25.43 at 11,796.16. The Nasdaq finished red by .60 percent at 2,572.50
and the S&P 500 finished the session red by .48 at 1,215.65. Overall, stocks
sunk lower during the latter half of the last week after a generally choppy week
of trends. Investors are having difficulty processing the developments in the
eurozone. Investors and indices continue to feel the negative pressure stemming
from the unsettling developments. Primary indices in the eurozone closed out red
last session, due in part, to the negative weight of the ongoing debt crisis.
Rising bond yields around Europe are holding investors attention and keep
anxieties high. Investors perceive 7 percent yields as negative since these
levels have indicated a need for bailout action in the past. The higher bond
yields in the eurozone were enough to counteract the positive momentum that
would have been due to the positive batch of economic reports that posted in the
U.S. throughout the last trading week. Ultimately, the three primary stock
indices in the U.S. closed the last week lower overall. It is unlikely that any
action will present this week in the U.S., prior to Thanksgiving break, to pull
all three indices to the positive side of break-even. Frank Matto
