. >> beknow the ten-year yield came unenormous pressure, dipped below 2% at several points during the week. >> sure. >> oil prices at one point fell below $80 a barrel. that's potentially good news for the consumer but scary when you think about what it's signaling in terms of what it sees in the economy. >> that's right. >> lower oil and gasoline prices are great but we have to wonder is the economy that weak? employment statistics that came out if not very strong certainly strong but you have the combination of weak energy and commodity prices. oil at $107 a barrel wasn't justified but oil at $78 a barrel isn't justified either. it's somewhere in between but for right now, good employment statistics, lower gasoline prices you have to smile. >> initial jobless names, other things that come in have been good. >> jobless claims is one of the most important and least watched statistics in part because it comes out every week and everyo everyone takes it for granted. this past week it hit a 14-year low the fwbest number in 14 yea combined with lower gasoline prices and things like that.
