Daily Market Commentary for November 11, 2009

Stock Prices

Stock prices were continuing their climb today, after reaching record highs of the year this week. Investor's got the confidence boost they needed yesterday when the Federal Reserve announced that recovery was going to be a slow process, they decided to keep interest rates low. Investors have pushed the Dow Jones to new highs for 2009, it reached the 10,200 level two days in a row despite the fact that the unemployment rate is continuing to climb, however stock prices have really taken off, analysts believe the recent rise in stocks is partially due to investors trying to give the weakened economy a hand. They believe that if some key reports this week show numbers we weren't expecting, the rallies could be put on hold. Federal Reserve's decision to keep interest rates low has continued to hurt the dollar which has been weakening over the past couple of months. As a result of the dollar falling, gold prices have advanced to record highs, at the end of the trading session yesterday gold closed at $1,102.50 an ounce. Investors have been focusing their attention on corporate earnings reports, Macy's boosted it's full-year forecast, Macy's reported this morning that it expects 2009 earnings to be between $1.01 and $1.06 per share.
