This morning, before the market opens, U.S. stocks are trending downward. Oil and gold prices are pulling back from their recent highs, and this seems to have affected overall market sentiment. Looking at the futures markets, investors appear to be somewhat cautious. These declines in commodity prices are also putting pressure on the futures markets. Perhaps this week will be more volatile, especially as economic data is released. Everyone is curious about where oil and gold will go at the moment.
