Market WrapUp for Friday, November 17th
by Mike Hartman

HOUSING NUMBERS, INFLATION & INTEREST RATES,
OPTIONS EXPIRATION AND GOLD

The stock markets are under pressure this morning with weaker than expected data in the residential real estate market and today being the expiration date for November stock options. The U.S. Dollar Index opened in positive territory, but it didn’t take long to roll-over to negative territory following the weak economic data. Bond prices are moving higher, pushing interest rates lower as the bond market has been whip-sawed between inflation pressures and slowing economic growth. Crude oil is hitting fresh new lows for the year with the December contract touching $55.00 a barrel today. Gold and silver came into New York trading with a lower open, but are moving higher through the early trading hours as the dollar continues to slide lower.
