Housing numbers continue to subtly improve

News

8.29.12

Top Day Market News

GDP, the second estimate, come in at 1.7. The markets had been expecting a stronger number than this. Housing numbers continue to subtly improve.

Stock trading volumes continue to contract, a victim, in part, of seasonality. Without algo trading there wouldn’t be any involvement, or so it seems.

Crude is lower as Isaac makes landfall. The EC slips a bit as Draghi criticized German criticism of ECB bond buying. The market continues to await Jackson Hole.
