Super Bowl & The Market

Posted February 5th, 2010 by Wes Moss

As we head into Super Bowl weekend, Friday brought us another ambiguous read on unemployment in the U.S. (nonfarm payrolls fell by 20,000 compared with a revised 150,000 decline in December BUT, the unemployment rate shrunk to 9.7% from December’s reading of 10%).  Markets will continue to put a heavy weight on these employment figures as well as pay attention to sovereign debt issues from the European Union.

On a lighter note, I’ve published a quick study on the Super Bowl Indicator that you might find interesting as well as posted a very amusing video clip showing NFL players being questioned about the state of US markets and the economy…fitting for Super Bowl Weekend.
