Alcoa, CSX beat expectations; Trade deficit up; treasury auctions later - Daliy Rate Update for July 13th, 2010

When two companies that are a backbone to other corporate activity both report better-than-expected profits and revenues, you can bet that the rest of corporate America is probably doing pretty well, too. Well Alcoa, a manufacturer of aluminum, and CSX, a transporter of just about everything, both beat expectations, and this suggests that they may not be alone.

The trade deficit is worse than expected, and we'll find out exactly how traders feel about the situation at 1:00 this afternoon when the results of the 10-year treasury auction are announced.
