The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 9287 on 8/3/09, as the stock market exploded higher on better then expected earnings our of European banks. The Dow Jones Futures were higher overnight but faded throughout pre market trading. After a pullback right after the open, the stock market rallied and hit new highs during the afternoon. Oil prices surged above $71.50 after as the dollar weakened and the commodity plays catch up to the recent stock market rally. I expect Oil to soon be trading in the $75-$80 level.

The hottest sectors today were no doubt Basic Materials and Energy. Stocks such as Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. (FCX) - United States Steel Corp. (X) - Alcoa, Inc. (AA) were up huge in basic materials while Petroleo Brasileiro (PBR) - Patriot Coal Corporation (PCX) - ConocoPhillips (COP) - Schlumberger Limited (SLB) were hot in the energy sector.
