Stock Market Futures

The Dow Jones broke above the key resistance level of 8000 but pulled back at the end of the day. This is very bullish and it will be interesting to see how the Dow reacts to what will be horrible jobs number tomorrow at 8:30am Est. I don't see any resistance until about 8275 which was the level we were at before Timothy Geithner came out with his horrible bank plan back in February. Pullbacks to 7700 will be bought heavily now that we broke through 8000. Today's move shows us the rally is still alive! RIMM earnings after the bell were unreal!!

Commodities Closing Prices - 4/02/09

Gold - 905

The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 7978 on 4/2/09, as the stock market soared on a better then expected factory orders number and the fact that FASB eased on some mark to market accounting rules. Factory Orders, FASB, and the good housing data we've been receiving lately pushed the Dow Jones through 8000 today. However, there was a correction going into the close ahead of the jobs data tomorrow.
