The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 8269 on 5/15/09, as the stock market continued the downward move after a slight bounce on Thursday. The Dow Jones Futures were lower in pre market but stocks bounced right after the open. The stock market then reversed downward during the afternoon before bouncing back in the final hour. The volume was very light but it was clear that the financials led the market lower. Looking back at this past week, we received a worse then expected retail sales figure and a higher then expected initial jobless claims number. Investors could be simply selling into the recent strong rally.

I will be watching the Housing Starts and Building Permits data that comes out on Tuesday. This will surely be a market moving event.
