Market Review Indicates Downward Pressure In Early Week
The market turned soft in early last week with prices dropping sharply, led by the railroad group. The 20 active railroad stocks hit a new yearly low while the industrial average held near the prior reaction low. Bulls cite firmer industrials and copper averages, but bears warn of a double top around Steel common and potential further declines unless a long trading range supports a rebound. Uncertainty remains due to war taxes, the Russian front, and a possible German peace gesture, tempering any sudden market surge.
