In overseas news, China's exports were only 4.9% vs 8.5% expected (I guess that qualifies as a miss). China is also rumored to be intervening to support the euro (or, defending their position) which should explain why the currency hasn't fallen further. In England, the Central Bank head Merwyn King has (gasp!) halted bond buying (QE) due to the combination of inflation and recession-yes, commonly known as stagflation.
