The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 8743 on 1/8/09, as the stock market fell following Wal Mart ( WMT ) disappointing Wall Street on retail sales which were down 1%. The Dow Jones and Nasdaq both bounced off of key moving averages and ended higher at the close. The Baltic Dry index went up nicely today causing most of the bulk shipping stocks to move higher along with it. Dryships ( DRYS ) was down around 7% in pre market and hit a low of $12.05 but opened up ripping higher throughout the day. Drys traded above $15 once again! Tomorrow we get the jobs report at 8:30am Est. I think unless we get a disaster number ( -800,000 + ) the market has already priced this event in to the downside. This sets things up for a rise in prices tomorrow. Tonight I will have technical analysis of the stock market and you can find it Right Here.
