The International Monetary Fund carefully hedged yesterday’s good news on the global economy. Because the world’s developed economies—rather than historically faster growing developing economies—will provide the engine for global growth in 2014 and 2015, the world as a whole will grow slightly more slowly than the IMF had projected in early January

For a while this morning, it looked like the momentum sell off from the end of last week might be over. Such momentum leaders as Netflix (NFLX), Tesla (TSLA), and Yelp (YELP) were all in the green shortly after trading began at 9:30 a.m. New York time. But my mid-afternoon—2:15 p.m. to be exact—most of this group had returned to the red

Economists had expected the rate to tick down to 6.6%.
