We all hope this is a positive sign of recovery. My theory, is we still have a ways to go, but at least this sounds positive.

Existing home sales up 7.4%

That seems like good news, but of course a lot of people were originally trying to close on homes for November 2009's tax credit, before Obama approved the extension. Hopefully those numbers are accurate of the economy improving. This also means, interest rates may be on their way back up soon.

Looks like a lot of ecomonics are fearing rise in interest rates in the near future, even after Fed's announced after a 2 day meeting that they will keep interest rates near zero for another 45 day period. This seems to have scared the stock market as well, since there's a heavy reaction on the increased US dollar value.
