Rick Pendergraft says we won’t see an economic recovery before one of the housing, auto or labour markets stabilize. Friday’s nasty unemployment data and earnings reports from GM (NYSE:GM), Ford (NYSE:F ) suggest that our hopes are resting on real estate.

Circuit City Stores Inc. (CC) will close 155, or 20%, of its 566 U.S. stores by Dec. 31 and slash its domestic workforce by about 17% as the fledging electronics retailer scrambles to conserve cash and reverse six consecutive quarters of falling sales.

In the currency market, the dollar was sharply lower against the euro. Late Tuesday, the euro was trading at $1.2707 vs. $1.2452 on Monday. All eyes were turned toward the Federal Reserve, which began meeting yesterday and will issue its interest rate pronouncement around 2:15 this afternoon, but the preliminary action in equities yesterday (Dow up almost 900) clearly indicated an expectation for a major cut.

Shares for Under Armour (NYSE:UA) jumped 26% yesterday. The retail company’s third quarter results exceeded expectations on the same day as the market posted a major rally. But Andrew Snyder says this is down to marketing hype.
