While not a spectacular speech by any stretch of the imagination, it was nevertheless competent enough to restore some positivity into the DOW this morning.
As at 7.45 am (NZ time) the DOW was up 379 points.
In my opinion it is unlikely to be a sustained upswing because there is more bad financial news to come.
