Dow to hit 10,000 today?
Traders work on the floor of the New York Stock Exchange October 6, 2009 in New York City
Bank and technology sectors, led by J.P. Morgan Chase and Intel, pushed the Dow Jones average to within nine points of that magic number this morning. And, retail sales were down 1.5% overall in September. Some economists celebrated the news—the overall slump was due to fallen auto sales in the wake of the Cash-For-Clunkers program, yet spending in all other areas grew. With a quick look at the Dow and consumer spending, Larry Mantle gets the economic forecast for the fall.
