November 5, 2013: U.S. markets opened lower Tuesday morning on another day with little U.S. economic data on tap. The ISM non-manufacturing PMI for October came in better than expected but had little impact on stock prices. The European Commission lowered its growth estimate from 1.2% to 1.1% for the eurozone in 2014, and that pushed European markets lower.

European and Latin American markets closed lower today while Asian markets closed mixed.

Wednesday’s calendar includes speeches by Cleveland Fed President Sandra Pianalto and the following scheduled data releases and events (all times Eastern):

7:00 a.m. – Mortgage Bankers Association purchase applications
10:00 a.m. – Leading indicators
10:30 a.m. – EIA weekly petroleum status report
3:00 p.m – Treasury STRIPS

Are You Still Paying With a Debit Card?

The average American spends $17,274 on debit cards a year, and it’s a HUGE mistake. First, debit cards don’t have the same fraud protections as credit cards. Once your money is gone, it’s gone. But more importantly you can actually get something back from this spending every time you swipe.

Issuers are handing out wild bonuses right now. With some you can earn up to 5% back on every purchase. That’s like getting a 5% discount on everything you buy!

Our top pick is kind of hard to imagine. Not only does it pay up to 5% back, it also includes a $200 cash back reward in the first six months, a 0% intro APR, and…. $0 annual fee. It’s quite literally free money for any one that uses a card regularly. Click here to learn more!
