Dow Reaches '09 High
By STEVE GOLDSTEIN
U.S. stock futures were slightly lower Tuesday, as investors took a breather following the previous day's sharp rally.
Less than two hours before the start of trading, Dow Jones Industrial Average futures were sixteen points lower at 10176. The S&P 500 futures slipped 3.7 to 1088, and Nasdaq 100 futures lost 4.25 to 1762.25. Changes in futures do not always accurately predict early market moves after the opening bell.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average leapt to a new 13-month high Monday as investors grew more optimistic about the continued flow of easy money to support economic recovery. The Dow climbed 203.52 points, or 2%, to end at 10226.94 -- its highest finish since Oct. 3, 2008 and the second 200-point gain in three trading days. The blue-chip measure has risen 4.7% over the four-day winning streak that began with the Federal Reserve's policy statement last Wednesday, which quelled fears that the central bank might raise rates soon. Gold rose to a new record, oil futures snapped two days of losses and the dollar fell.
On Tuesday, the euro crossed about $1.50, gold was down slightly after rising to a new high of $1,111.70 on Monday. Oil prices also slipped after the threat of Tropical Storm Ida to U.S. oil and gas installations receded.
"[Ida] isn't expected to cause any lasting oil industry facilities damage...the storm has been downgraded to unpleasant from nasty and everything should be up and running again by mid week," said London-based brokerage PVM Oil Associates in a note.
The market was nearly flat ahead of data from the American Petroleum Institute due later Tuesday, in the absence of other major economic data. The front-month December contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange was trading $0.19 lower at $79.24 a barrel.

Leading Economic Index Increased in August
Sept. 21 (Bloomberg) -- The index of U.S. leading economic indicators rose for the fifth straight month, capping the longest stretch of gains since 2004 and signaling a recovery is under way.
The Conference Board’s gauge of the economic outlook for the next three to six months rose 0.6 percent in August, in line with forecasts, after a 0.9 percent increase in July that was larger than previously estimated, according to data that the New York-based group released today.
The gains in stock prices, consumer confidence and homebuilding that are buoying the leading index bolster Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke’s view that the worst recession since the Great Depression has probably ended. At the same time, rising unemployment and tight credit are a reminder that a rebound will be slow and gradual...

Bernanke May Redefine Fed Mission in Financial-Market Stability
#economics
Aug. 26 (Bloomberg) -- Ben S. Bernanke’s renomination allows him to redefine the Federal Reserve’s mission as he expands its power over financial markets and pulls back on a credit surge the central bank used to keep the economy from collapse, economists say.
Bernanke’s agenda during the next four years will include elevating the Fed’s role in reducing excessive risk in major financial institutions, figuring out how to curtail asset bubbles, and scaling back $1.2 trillion of monetary stimulus.
“He will have the opportunity to permanently change the structure of the Federal Reserve system,” said Vincent Reinhart, a former director of the Fed’s Monetary Affairs Division who’s now a resident scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, a Washington-based research group.
President Barack Obama nominated Bernanke, 55, for a second term yesterday, lauding the Fed chairman for helping “put the brakes on our economic free fall...”

I just wanted to take a moment to thank all the friends that I got to see and who came out to meet me on my recent tour of western KY and Nashville. It's been 2 years since I was back in my hometown and the energy I got out there was great. All the daps and hugs were much appreciated and I hope to be back down there soon. You all gave me a chance to smile, an opporunity to relax, and a desire to focus and push forward. Please stay in touch. Home is definetly where my friends are - you all helped me grow during my 15+ yrs there and I loved the opportunity to come back and visit.

Consumer Confidence on the Rise
The Conference Board reported at the end of May that consumer confidence had reached its highest level in eight months. The monthly report measures the "degree of optimism on the state of the economy that consumers are expressing through their spending and saving activities." The May index was at 54.9 (the base year being 1985, chosen because it was neither a year of expansion or contraction), up from 40.8 reported in April and more importantly up from the all-time index low in February of 25.3. The Consumer Confidence Index since May 2007 is shown below with the Expectations Index (approx. 60% of CCI) and Present Situation Index (approx. 40% of CCI).

I've also marked this post as "Something Good" because as I see it Americans are gaining back their hope and we will soon pull out of our current economic downturn.
