The big news this morning is the much lower than expected job losses in the US economy: only 11,000 jobs lost last month, where analysts had expected well over 100,000. This is one more piece of slowly accumulating evidence that the economy is well on the way out of recession. The financial crisis of the last year was a crisis of confidence. Confidence is returning - and with it you will continue to see financial markets respond.
Next post I'll talk about congressional action on estate taxes and what it means to the average American.
