Welcome to The Daily Stock Report...brought to you by QualityStocks.Net, performance tracked daily. I'm Cathy Rankin and for Tuesday, January 16th.... we're bringing you the latest news from around the markets as well as the top movers to look out for today... In Our Headline News... More evidence that a soft landing for the U.S. economy remains on track helped extend Thursday's broad-based buying efforts. The Dow finished in record territory again while the Nasdaq hit a new six-year high. Of the eight sectors closing in positive territory, Energy led the charge. The return of Energy's leadership, following four straight down days that opened the sector down 3.5% for the week and off more than 8% already this year, more than acted as an offset to the 2.1% bounce in oil. After plunging 13% so far this year and selling off over the last four days, a rebound of some sort was not a big surprise. It is also worth noting that oil was still down nearly 6% for the week and is 33% below record levels reached last July.
