Oil fell on rumors that Mubarak will resign soon in an effort to bring stability back to Egypt.
The U.S. dollar index rose and treasuries fell as yields moved higher on worries over inflation after today’s higher than expected Hourly Earnings reading added to elevated inflation readings seen in other reports recently.
The Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P traded mostly slightly lower on today’s disappointing jobs report, but some found the drop in the Unemployment Rate encouraging and all three indices were able to end with slight gains.
