Dow up 110? Will it Last?

Posted in Analysis, Business News, Markets by Eric Back on June 14th, 2006.

Despite reports on inflation and the looming Fed increase the dow bounced back 110 basis points today.  I wish the economic indicators were substantial enough to point to more than a sucker’s rally but in my opinion they do not.  Even the WSJ reported the one day upturn in terms of disbelief, “Stocks advanced Wednesday, even though a stronger-than-expected inflation report heightened expectations the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates again at the end of June”

Many downturns over recent weeks came in late trading after a positive uptick.  Today stocks bounced 40 points higher following positive announcements from Boeing, partly pumped by the delay on Airbus A-380s.  Airbus’s parent company EAD dropped 26% yesterday as investors panicked while Boeing rose 6.5% today following a new Singapore Airlines order for 20 Dreamliners.  Overall trading was mixed with as many stocks rising as falling. 

I still can’t see jumping back in until September.
