Stock Market Review and Current Stock Index Trends Today: Prior to opening bell
this morning, futures for the primary indices in the U.S. were mixed. Similar
trending was observed throughout the course of the last week of trading overall.
Although the DJIA, as well as the Nasdaq and the S&P 500, finished green across
the board last Friday, trends over the course of the last week as a whole were
choppy. Overall this calendar year, the primary stock index trend-lines are
positive. Better than expected economic data in the U.S. has helped to support
trends this year, and progressive action to avoid debt defaults in the eurozone
has helped as well. Through the halfway point in the trading session today, the
primary U.S. indices were mixed and trends continued to post mixed results as
the day approached close. Investors worries grew this day relevant to the weaker
than expected economic growth data in China. China reported the largest trade
deficit in over a decade and this news limited gains in the U.S. marketplace
today. As close finalized, indices were mixed. DJIA, Nasdaq, S&P 500 Approaching
Close: As close finalized, stock indices were mixed. The DJIA was higher by .29
percent at 12,959.71. The Nasdaq was lower by .16 percent at 2,983.66 and the
S&P 500 was green by .02 percent at 1,371.09. Frank Matto
