NEW YORK -- Stocks overcame an early slide Wednesday and closed higher as investors tried to keep a September rally alive. Major indexes had opened lower after a poor reading on factory activity in New York, but turned higher around midday after getting better news on industrial production. That report showed that the U.S. industrial sector grew for the 12th time in 14 months.
Better news on manufacturing was the main trigger behind the rally that began in early September and has propelled stocks higher nine out of the past 11 days. The Dow Jones industrial average, which gained about 46 points Wednesday, is up 5.6 percent over that time.

This study examined the relationship between stock market index and selected macroeconomic variables during the post-financial liberalization (pre-financial crisis) and post-financial crisis in Thailand. In the empirical analysis, unit root, cointegration and Granger causality tests were performed. The post-financial liberalization results showed that the stock market index, the industrial production index, money supply, exchange rate, and world oil prices contained a unit root and were integrated of order one. Johansen cointegration test was then employed. The results showed at least one cointegrating or long-run relation between the stock market index and a set of macroeconomic variables. Money supply had a positive impact on the stock market index while the industrial production inde...

This paper investigates a relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows, exchange rate, and economic growth of a developing country, and their effects on major economic activities in the nation. This paper examines macroeconomic activity variables of gross domestic product, fixed capital investment, employment ratio, retail trade turnover, industrial production, FDI inflows, and dollar exchange rate as a control variable. The macroeconomic activity statistics often calendar years (1997-2006) of Kazakhstan were analyzed by using a multivariate regression model with weighted least squares estimates. The results indicate that FDI has a minimum or not a statistically significant impact on GDP growth of Kazakhstan. The paper argues that a resource-seeking FDI has a minimal eff...

MINNEAPOLIS and LOS ANGELES, Oct. 13 /PRNewswire/ -- The Ceridian- UCLA Pulse of Commerce Index(TM) (PCI), a real-time measure of the flow of goods to U.S. factories, retailers, and consumers, fell .5 percent in September after falling 1.0 percent in August, which is the first time the index has experienced a consecutive monthly decline since January 2009. Furthermore, August and September 2010 together produced the worst combined two-month decline since the recessionary months of January and February 2009.
The decline indicates four consecutive months of limited to no increases in over the road movement of produce, raw materials, goods- in-process and finished goods since the PCI peaked in May 2010. Moreover, the PCI forecasts GDP growth in the third quarter of 2010 at an anemic 0.7 pe...
