Top Day Market News
Happy Cinco de Mayo which actually isn’t celebrated in Mexico. We do get the Institute for Supply Management number at 10. Markets were turning more of their attention to the Ukraine and this has expressed itself in higher prices for wheat and gold and bonds while China continues to show signs of economic contraction, most recently by posting a decline in housing numbers. Crude is slightly higher overnight, again thanks to the Ukraine, but prices continue to point towards 96.82.
