Markets never react irrational . The expectation of market response is irrational. Very irrational ( if very is appropriate ) is the assumption every market is closed system i.e. does not depend on all other markets. That is however the foundation of waves and chart analysis.

Chloe,

To paraphrase Ashraf, good US news is BAD for the USD as money flows out of the currency & into the equities...so good data so a drop in jobless claim should be POSITIVE for the markets. (C'mon, Ashraf repeats e/thing like a thousand times, but STILL...??!!).

But the again, markets nowadays are acting irrational. If oil can hold above 86 - yesterday following poor EIA data, then why can't markets go down on good claims data. In fact, this just might be the impetus for the Cartel to drag the markets down! We think good data is good for markets...& they hoodwink us...

If FED is serious on tightening by rollling mature UST off the balance sheet and redeeming and thus

Equities down, treasuries up, oil down, gold and silver up, copper down, dollar up. This has the making of a flight-to-quality, no?
