Relief in the Market
Today the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, the Bank of England, and the Swiss national bank announced they will lend an unlimited amount of funds to commercial banks in an effort to revive the financial markets worldwide. The Feds lead the way in the unprecedented event that backs the governments recent intervention.
In response to the central banking announcement the Dow rebounded with an advance of 936 points, the largest gain in 70 years. The gain marked a sign of confidence in our financial system. A single positive day does not prove a total revival coming in our market by any means, but investors have some hope in sight after an advance of this margin.
The week ahead will prove to make history yet again.
