NBER Program(s): AP. We find that on average an announcement of rising unemployment is 'good news' for stocks during economic expansions and 'bad news' during economic contractions. Thus stock prices usually increase on news of rising unemployment, since the economy is usually in an expansion phase. rise in unemployment typically signals a decline in interest rates, which is good news for stocks, as well as a decline in future corporate earnings and dividends, which is bad news for stocks.
Gasoline, or petrol, is a transparent, petroleum-derived oil that is used primarily as a fuel in internal combustion engines. It consists mostly of organic compounds obtained by the fractional distillation of petroleum, enhanced with a variety of additives. Some gasolines also contain ethanol as an alternative fuel.
@Ajelderks. The answer they want to hear is probably a (general) homogeneous mixture. Solution rather means a homogeneous mixture that is made up mostly of one part, the solvent, and little amounts of other substances, the solutes. Gasoline is made up of many different hydrocarbons. You don't have one distinct solvent, so you don't say solution.
