Tuesday Outlook: Commodities, Global Markets [View article]
My guess is that the market has been taken over by the news-independent (or event-independent) computer programs. These programs seem to trade "against" market movements. It means when the market (or, almost any stock) goes down, they buy. The consequence is that the market turns up. And, when the market goes up, they dump the stocks they have just bought and make an instant profit. The market then turns down. This works in "thin" market and "stabilizes" the market. The Dow Jones has been in the mid 9,000 and going nowhere for a while now. Nobody is making money except those computers.
