Lunch Update: Markets Hold Slightly Negative 0 comments
While gold and silver are surging on the global uncertainty, oil is falling. The United States Oil Fund LP (ETF) (NYSE:USO) is trading at $39.23, -0.43 (-1.08%). The reason why oil is lower is slightly do to the stronger Dollar but more due to the outlook for global demand. As the jobs picture in the United States gets worse and the financial problems of Europe mount, it is likely the global economy will remain weaker for a longer period than expected. This means less future demand for oil and thus lower prices.
Technology shares seem to be keeping the markets from having a large down day. Stocks like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) and Dell Inc. (NASDAQ:DELL) are all having solid up days. Financial stocks are again performing poorly, though sitting on major support levels. Commodity plays are also under significant pressure today.
