Dow Jones Industrial Average Index DJIA DJX Todays Nasdaq, S&P 500 Stock Market Investing Review News USA Today

DJIA, Nasdaq, S&P 500 Stock Market Investing News Today: The primary indices in
the U.S. moved higher during the closing trading session of the previous week
due, in part, to the increased optimism and confidence which investors felt. The
positive feelings stemmed from better than expected economic data posting in the
U.S., paired with the news out of the eurozone that European leaders are moving
closer to approving bailout funding for Greece. European leaders will meet
Monday to vote on the bailout package and investors are optimistic that the vote
for the bailout funds will be successful. U.S. stocks experienced another
positive week as all three primary indices made gains overall. The Dow Jones
Industrial Average moved higher overall by approximately 1.2 percent last week.
The Nasdaq moved higher by approximately 1.7 percent and the S&P 500 climbed
higher by about 1.4 percent overall. In addition to the positive close for the
week, all three indices are positive for the year as well. The DJIA is higher so
far this year by 6 percent. The Nasdaq is higher by 13 percent and the S&P 500
is green by 8 percent so far. The positively skewed data in the U.S. continues
to mount and the momentum is building. The majority of signs are pointing
towards a sustained economic recovery in process. Frank Matto

Here is a short recap of the developments in gold and silver prices during the
week of February 13th to February 17th; this overview includes a short
description of the changes in the markets that were related to the recent
changes in precious metals prices; in the analysis in I use charts and I
highlight the main news items that may have influenced gold and silver traders
during the week. The announcement of Moodys to downgrade the credit rating of
several EU countries didnt seem to affect many traders. Furthermore, the decline
of the EU GDP by 0.3% during the fourth quarter of 2011 was also something that
didnt seem affect traders; during last week there were several U.S. reports that
came out and showed a slight improvement in the economic situation including an
increase in the Philly Fed index, housing starts and U.S. retail sales.
Nevertheless, these reports didnt seem to have much of an effect on precious
metals prices. The Euro slightly declined against the USD, while other risk
currencies such as the Australian dollar appreciated against the U.S. dollar
during the week. This shift in the direction of the U.S. dollar may have also
been responsible for

Todays Crude Oil Price Per Barrel; Current Crude Oil Price Trending News Today; Sweet Crude Prices

XCSFDHG46767FHJHJF

dow2664 Oil prices are jumping higher in the current economic environment. Prices for light crude oil per barrel have been above the $100 dollar mark several days this week. Better than expected economic data posted in the U.S. during the latter half of the trading week and this supported oil price trend-lines. Unemployment claims went down once again and fewer Americans are applying to extend unemployment into a second week. Housing starts were up as well. These reports are perceived as signs of an economy on the rise which in turn increases the potential for an increase in oil demand. The increased investor optimism sparked the market rally and pushed oil prices higher. In addition to this, the continued threat in Iran is keeping oil prices higher. Iran continues to feel threatened by Europe and the U.S. over imposed sanctions, and continues to threaten to block oil supplies from being distributed as a result. This action is pushing oil prices higher as well. Light crude oil per barrel finished the final session of the week higher by .91 percent with a posted floor price at $103.24. Camillo Zucari
