They were little changed at the open. 3 on the dow and s p. Up about 22 points. It has to do with the energy market. The Goldman Sachs call is feeling a gain in Energy Stocks. Look at the groups on the move. Energy shares up 1 as our materials. We are seeing that just Oil Prices Higher but some of the other materials as well. On the downside, utilities and telecoms slower. Otherwise, we have a lift in the commodityled groups. Oil prices are working higher on the call from Goldman Sachs. Gold is also on the rise today. It is up by about 1 . Interesting we are seeing a lift in stocks and gold at the same time. Part of this is fueled by the e. T. F. Buying of gold. E. T. F. Dex tracks holdings of gold in the u. S.
