Stock Market Futures Bounce Sharply Higher / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009

By: PaddyPowerTrader

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticlePreliminary details of U.S. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner 's (aka the one trillion Dollar man) plans have prompted a strong session in equities overnight with the Dow futures currently up 195 and Europe looking chirpy. Now I may sound like a worn out old 45 but don't believe the hype. The markets are as ever buying the rumour and will sell the fact(s).

Economic Crisis, No country is immune from the gloom / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009

By: Regent_Markets

After a volatile 5 days, world stock markets just managed to close last 5 days in the black. It was a week of two halves with the good work from the start of the week being undone in the second half as traders slipped into reverse gear on Thursday and Friday. At least markets managed to hold the gains from the previous week which in the context of the bear market is no mean feat.

Financial Markets Analysis - Fed Adopts Quantitative Inflation / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009

By: Nadeem_Walayat

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe big story of the week was the U.S. Fed's head long fling over the cliff into Quantitative Easing by printing more than $1 trillion (electronically) , this is on top of the $800 billion already printed on the sly as the Fed buys toxic junk such as the weeks announcement of buying $1.25 trillion of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage backed securities, as well as other junk bonds, on top of $300 billion of US Government bonds to help finance the ever growing budget deficit. The implications of this extra supply of dollars is inflationary that devalues the value of all dollars. I have already warned indepth of the consequences of Quantitative Inflation so won't repeat it here.

U.S. Treasury Bonds and Gold Soars Whilst Stocks Correct Following Quantitive Easing / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleIt's a circus in Washington. - Denouncing a "squandering of the people's money," lawmakers voted decisively Thursday to impose a 90 percent tax on millions of dollars in employee bonuses paid by troubled insurance giant AIG and other bailed-out companies. In some cases the bonuses might be taxed 100 percent leaving the recipients with nothing.

Gauging the Turn in Dollar, Gold & Crude Oil / Commodities / Financial Markets 2009

By: Ashraf_Laidi

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe FOMC announcement of March 18, December 16 and September 16 each produced an interventionist surprise at the expense of the dollar. But unlike in the announcements of Sep 16 (AIG bailout) and Dec 16 (Fed's surprising zero interest rate announcement), Wednesday's announcement to buy long term treasuries and expand the purchase of MBS and Agency securities may continue to extend the dollar's retreat, beyond just a few days.

Does The Stock Market Rally Have Legs? / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009

By: PaddyPowerTrader

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleEquities finished up on Friday for the fourth straight session as sentiment about the ailing US financial sector improved. But the big question remains does this equity bounce have legs? Sure the moves are chart-friendly but investors remain dubious. Since January it's largely been the case of one step forward and the two quick steps back. For example Deutsche Banks respected equity team released a downward revision to their outlook for US corporate earnings which they now see declining some 24.5% in 2009. Their outlook for underlying S&P 500 EPS has been accordingly marked down from $72.5 to $58.3.

Stocks Soar As Rally Enters Its Fourth Day / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009

By: PaddyPowerTrader

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleNews of significant new stimulus measures by both China and Japan, jawboning from Bank of America's Ken Lewis and the Swiss National Banks decision to start quantitative easing led equity indices to a 3% gain yesterday. All this despite GE losing its much coveted tripe A (AAA) credit rating and Moody's putting 23 US regional banks on review for a possible downgrade. With Madoff in jail and consumption seemingly fighting back (note the surprisingly robust US retail sales number) maybe Bernanke and Geithner should take a leaf out of the Dimon / Pandit book and leak a memo saying the US economy has grown in the first two months of Q1 2009? It's Friday the 13th for the second month in a row so be careful out there.

Stocks Hang Onto Gains / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009

By: PaddyPowerTrader

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleA little banker patter seems to go a long way these days. Yesterday, equities hung in the black thanks mainly to a bravado performance by Jamie Dimon, Chairman and CEO of JPMorgan who talked up his book in a manner we usually associate with bouffant Bill Gross from Pim(p)co. But the vista of a dire retail sales number today is looming large as the US consumer retrenches further. This points to another downbeat quarter for earnings.

Big Pharma Fails to Stimulate Downbeat Dow Stock / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009

By: PaddyPowerTrader

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe Dow Jones is Bear-ing down on the 6,500 level, as a bout of merger mania (Merck's proposed $41.1 billion takeover of arch rival Schering-Plough) fails to bring out the buyers . Stocks ended a yo-yo session on the back foot. Weighing on the market were heavyweight comments from the former Sage of Omaha Warren Buffett that the current environment was akin to an “economic Pearl Harbor” while Dr Doom Prof Nouriel Roubini chimed in with his view that the US recession (depression) could last another three years.

Stock Markets Enjoy A Perverse Relief Rally / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009

By: PaddyPowerTrader

Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleFriday saw a “sell the rumour, buy the news” reaction to another very weak payrolls number from the US. A perverse market rally occurred after the headline jobs losses number was not worse than the reported minus 651k. But the back revision to the previous two months totalled a further minus 161,000 suggesting to me that this number will itself be subject to a possible major upward revision. The “official” unemployment rate climbed to 8.1%, though as many point out, the real rate of unemployment is considerably higher .

The Financial Markets Last “Bubble” that Remains to be Popped / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009

By: Clif_Droke

Diamond Rated - Best Financial Markets Analysis ArticleThe problem plaguing the market heretofore has been two-fold: a lack of buyers on the retail side and deleveraging on the institutional side of the aisle. In an all-out liquidation market cycles, support levels and technical indicators are of little to no use until the panic subsides and a level-headed approach prevails. Most of the indicators – technical and psychological – are in place for a major bottom and even the charts are starting to look somewhat constructive. We don’t have a confirmed bottom yet, though, so until we do we have to maintain a defensive position.

Why is this so important? - because copper has a history of being one of the earliest if not THE earliest lead indicators for the world economy, so much so that it is sometimes called Dr Copper.
