The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed at 10388 on 12/4/09, as the stock market went on a roller coaster ride on a positive employment report. The Dow Jones Futures surged in pre market when we found out that the US only lost 11,000 jobs in the month of November in addition to positive revisions to the prior months. The unemployment rate fell to 10%. This news caused the stock market averages as well as the US Dollar to both surge. We also saw money come out of Gold as the metal fell over $60.

After it appeared the stock market could be up huge with the US Dollar, the Dollar began to build steadily on It's gains throughout the trading day. The stock market then began to tank! The Dollar basically went from $75.20 to $75.85 which was bearish for stocks and gold.

The dollar seems to be moving higher due to short covering and the fact that positive job growth could spur the Fed to raise interest rates sooner then expected. As you can see, there are a lot of moving parts in the stock market right now. Next week will be light on economic data so I'd expect the volume to be light. I am watching 1120-1130 on the S&P 500, if we can closes above 1130, we will begin the next leg higher.

As for the jobs, I am expecting us to actually create new jobs this month but the jury is still out for the first three months of 2010.

Check out some additional events I will be watching for Friday.

I will also have technical analysis of the stock market - Right Here

Baltic Dry Index Shipping Rates 12/4/09 BDI

The BDI data is critical for how the DryBulk Shipping Stocks such as DryShips Inc ( DRYS ), Excel Maritime Carriers Ltd (EXM), Diana Shipping Inc ( DSX ), Genco Shipping & Trading Limited ( GNK ), TBS International Limited ( TBSI ), Navios Maritime ( NM ), Eagle Bulk Shipping Inc. ( EGLE ), Paragon Shipping Inc. ( PRGN ), Star Bulk Carriers Corp. ( SBLK ), and OceanFreight Inc ( OCNF ) will trade during the day. As you probably know, the Dry Bulk Shipping index can tell you a lot about the state of the World Economy. When Bulk Shipping Rates are at all time highs, the World Economy is outstanding. When Bulk Shipping Rates are as low as they have been lately, it signifies that the world trade has come to a screeching halt

Bank of America Corp BAC Stock 12/4/09

Bank of America Corporation Stock Chart - The following is Bank of America Corp. (NYSE:BAC)

technical analysis for December 4, 2009

Bank of America Corp. Support & Resistance Levels - 12/4/09

Resistance Levels: $16.61, $16.74, $17, $19.09

Support Levels: $15.19, $15, $14.50, and $14.11

Chart - http://stockcharts.com/

Discuss Stocks - http://stockstobuy.org

Bank of America closed below the 50 day moving average for the 34th straight trading session. When this trend changes, look out above. As soon as BAC closes back above the 50 day moving average ( currently located at $16.28 ), I will be buying the stock for my long term portfolio. BAC did an offering today at $15 per share which does not help things.

Until then, BAC is vulnerable to more downside pressure. Support is located at $15.19, $15, $14.50, and $14.11
