Closing at 7,465.95 (-89.68) the Dow was led lower by the financials, including Bank of America and Citigroup which both fell 14% in today’s trading. Bank of America, the U.S. biggest bank lost 64 cents per share bringing it to a 24 year low, and not far behind was Citigroup losing 40 cents per share to end the day at a 17 year low of $2.51. Overnight the European markets did not do as bad as the U.S. markets did, but it is noted that Governments world wide are stepping up to hinder the worst global downturn.
EUR/USD:
Today the Euro found great support and it rebounded from near 3 month lows. The Euro gained ground versus the majors on speculation the German Chancellor Angela Merkel signaled Europe’s largest economy plans to assist in easing the financial distress in Europe. Today the Euro traded at a high of 1.2759 after the Philly Fed Manufacturing Index was released, coming in a -41.3 from a -24.1 forecast.
