Same-store retail data is also slated for release the am. Dow futures are currently up 34 points to 12,971. Nasdaq 100 futures are up by 10.75 points to 2,634. The S&P 500 futures are rounding out the pre-market gains, up 3.50 points to 1,386.

Jobless claims were little changed from last week, dropping 2k to 351k (this was due to a revision that had last week’s number going from 351k to 353k). This shows that the labor market continues to strengthen.

Personal income also rose, up .3% after a.5% rise in December. Consumer spending, while worse that expectations, moved .2% higher.

Right now the Dow seems to be stuck around the 13k level. Most analysts agree that for fresh buyers to come in, there needs to be a decisive break. If it continues to trade around this range with no break, the worry is that a correction could be in store and short-bias traders would emerge in force. [Read more...]
