This week is all about the US economy.

New Market: Dow Jones May 2011 forecast

When we last closed our Dow Jones prediction market the Dow was down at 10.000 points. Our long term trend indicated a recovery in the following weeks, but the strong surge of over 1000 points was much higher than predicted.

Even the expected new round of quantitative easing (QE2) may not change the pace of recovery and the mid-term elections raise the fear of a political deadlock in the US. So let’s see what the future holds for the Dow.
