There were no major economic reports today. All of this week’s previous economic reports:
NAHB Housing Market Index - August | 13 v. 14 |

The Markets:

The U.S. dollar index rose as the euro fell after “comments by a senior European Central Bank official fuelled expectations for liquidity to remain ample and investors sold riskier assets on concerns of economic slowdown.”
Oil fell and treasuries rose on persistent worries about that economy that sent the Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P roughly 1% lower in morning trade, but an afternoon rally in the major indices left stocks mixed on the day while bonds reversed course and ended lower.
Among the big names making news in the market Friday were McDonald’s, Ford, Kraft, and Intel.
