Wall StreetThe major stock averages are all in the green this morning after a better than expected home sales report and news that Japan’s central bank is expanding its bond buying program. Existing home sales jumped nearly 8% in August to an annual rate of 4.82 million units. This is its highest level since in more than 2 years. Most economists were expecting an annual rate of 4.55 million units. Housing starts also saw an increase of 2.3% to a rate of 750,000, but missed the 765,000 unit rate economists were expecting.

Japan didn’t want to be left out of the easing party and said it would step up its bond-buying to help its economy. This announcement wasn’t unexpected, but did come a bit earlier than most had anticipated. The Nikkei closed at a four month high following the announcement.

The Dow is up nearly 41 points right now, the Nasdaq is up about 2 points and the S&P 500 is up 3.85 points. [Read more...]

NASDAQ Stocks Rallying in Early Trading: VRNM, SIGA, GRVY, DARA, UBNT, ZGNX

Nasdaq StocksThe Nasdaq is pushing higher this morning thanks to comments from Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke. His latest speech on the economy continued to reiterate low interest rates and some analysts believe his lack of not ruling out another round of QE means there could be one.

Analysts think Bernanke’s latest comments build even more confidence in the latest rally knowing that the Fed will do everything in their power to make sure a repeat of 2008 doesn’t happen.

Bernanke did point out that the economy needs to grow more quickly to produce enough jobs to lower the unemployment rate. He added that the current rate of 8.3% seems “somewhat out of sync” with economic growth.

The Nasdaq is currently up more than 1% at 3,102.34. [Read more...]
