Markets continued their strong performance this week in the absence of any major market driving earnings or economic reports, as the broad based buying that characterized the previous week continued and led to gains in all of the major indices. All told, the Dow added 2.5% on the week, gaining 247 points to close at 10,270, up 17.0% on the year. The Nasdaq posted a 2.6% gain on the week, closing at 2,167 to extend its yearly gains to 37.5%, while the S&P 500 and Russell 2000 gained 2.3% and 1.0% respectively, bringing their yearly gains to 21.1% and 17.4%.

Equity markets carried the momentum from the previous week’s session, as the thin economic calendar and lack of significant earnings reports provided little incentive for investors to slow their buying activities.

Steel Output Mounting The Steel industry, which consists of companies engaged in the extraction of iron ore and coke coal for the processing of iron and steel, has the major chunk of sales concentrated with a few producers. The industry includes metal ore exploration and mining services, iron and steel foundries for smelting, rolling, forging, spinning, recycling, stamping, polishing and plating of iron and steel products such as pipes, tubes, wire, spring, rolls and bars. The largest drivers of steel consumption have historically been the automotive and construction markets, which make up more than 50% of total steel consumption. Other steel consuming industries include appliances, converters, containers, tin, energy, electrical equipment, agricultural, domestic and commercial equipment and industrial machinery. Large automakers such as General Motors, Ford Motor Company ([url=http://www.zacks.com/stock/quote/f]F[/url]), Toyota Motor Corporation ([url=http://www.zacks.com/stock/quote/tm]TM[/url]) and Honda Motor Company ([url=http://www.zacks.com/stock/quote/hmc]HMC[/url]) depend upon the steel industry.

Ford Motor Company (F) revealed an impressive 12.8% rise in sales for October in its 19 European markets, outperforming the 6.8% gain in sales for the overall industry. In fact, the sales rise was considered as the best monthly performance in more than a decade. Several incentive programs by the European governments to trade old vehicles for newer cars backed the sales gain. The scrappage programs across several European countries are similar to the U.S. Government's "Cash for Clunkers" program that ran between July and August, through which the automaker generated tremendous response. Nevertheless, Ford has asked the European countries and the EU to take further action, similar to the incentive programs, to boost auto demand in 2010. The company has estimated industry sales in its main 19 European markets to lie in the range of 13 million and 14.5 million vehicles, down about 2 million ...

Ford Motor Company (F) returned to profitability in the third quarter of the year by posting a net income of $873 million or 26 cents per share, easily clearing the Zacks Consensus Estimate loss of 15 cents per share as well as the year-ago loss of 6 cents per share. This was, in fact, Ford's first operating profit since the first quarter of 2008. The company, which was on the verge of bankruptcy in the middle of the year, accredited its rebound to improved product line, inviolable structural cost reduction efforts and improved results at Ford Credit. Although revenue was down 2.5% to $30.9 billion, Automotive revenue rose $100 million to $27.9 billion from the year-ago level. This was attributed to favorable net pricing and higher volumes, primarily in North America, offset partially by unfavorable exchange. Total wholesale vehicles advanced 5% to 1,232,000 units....
