Financial Market Report For April 11, 2011
1) … Inflation destruction turns oil and stocks lower.
Bloomberg reports Oil Drops From 30-Month High as IMF Cuts Growth Forecasts. Oil fell from a 30-month high after the International Monetary Fund cut its growth forecasts for the U.S. and Japan, indicating high oil prices pose a risk to global economic expansion. Crude tumbled as much as 2.9 percent as the IMF predicted in its World Economic Outlook that the U.S. economy will expand at a slower pace than in 2010 amid an unemployment rate above 8 percent and a drop in consumer confidence. Oil for May delivery fell $2.59, or 2.3 percent, to $110.20 a barrel at 1:31 p.m. on the New York Mercantile Exchange. Futures settled at $112.79 a barrel on April 8, the highest closing price since Sept. 22, 2008. Prices have risen 30 percent in the past year.
And Bloomberg also reports Drivers Starting to Cut Back as Gasoline Prices Keep Rising. With the price of gas above $3.50 a gallon in all but one state, there are signs that Americans are cutting back on driving, reversing a steady increase in demand for fuel as the economy improves. Gas sales have fallen for five straight weeks, the first time that has happened since November, according to MasterCard SpendingPulse, which tracks spending at 140,000 service stations nationwide.
