Stocks Fall, Oil Prices Rise

[FXexpert]

Stocks Fall For Second Day

Stocks fell for a second day today on information regarding banks & the auto industry. After a two month rally, stocks have seen losses the past two days. Although it may seem like a negative economic indicator, the losses are most likely a natural fluctuation in the markets.

Oil Prices Rising Again


As the price per barrel begins to rise again to levels not seen since November 2008, there is a debate whether the rise is positive or negative news for the economy.

The rising prices indicate a rise in overall economic health and oil demand, but higher prices at the pump could put a dent in consumer's wallets, as $4/gallon prices are still fresh in everyone's minds.
