The Market On Tuesday

  Good morning. It is 34 degrees and cloudy here in the Upper Hudson Valley, the forecast predicts temperatures around 36 degrees and a mix of rain and snow this afternoon. We got a few inches of snow overnight, at least it looks more like January out there. The extraordinarily mild January is about global warming. I would suspect this is the warmest January in this part of the Northeast.

  At 9:15 a.m. ET the pre-market DOW is a +10 and the price of oil per barrel up. The market is poised to open slightly higher.

Investors seem to be in wait-and-see mode right now.
