The big news, the bail out, I've already discussed, though the fact that S&P has cut the ratings on 12 banks, Bank of America, Barclays Bank, Citibank, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, HSBC, JPMorgan Chase, Morgan Stanley, Royal Bank of Scotland, UBS, and Wells Fargo, is not what I would call small news.
In any case, it appears that oil is down to $33.87/bbl, and the dollar is up.
I think that the announcement of the auto bailout strengthened the dollar, and as to oil, the world economy is still seizing up.
Retail gas was up above$1.67/gal today, so I think that we have hit bottom there.
