For the most part, markets today expressed a tone of relief and satisfaction for global economic events. We have seen the classic pattern of dollar and yen weakness across the board that is quite the mainstay in markets that think the worst is over. However, we are cautioning that this brief level of renewed sentiment may be short lived. In the US the euphoria that was left over from European trading seemed to dwindle in the latter part of the trading day. The Dow finished one of its typical whipsawed trading sessions, falling off of highs of more than 100 to dip in to negative territory. The index did finish in positive ground. This level of uncertainty definitely casts some doubt on the continuation of this renewed confidence in the financial markets.
