Weekly Market Update -Jan 26th

The Fed cut interest rates by .75 points on Tuesday morning after world markets tumbled on Monday. The Fed is expected to cut rates again next week at their regularly scheduled meeting. The market moved higher on Wednesday after the rate cut, but didn't show much follow through for the rest of the week (sorry for the brief market update this week -out of town).
