MARKET OVERVIEW
Overseas markets are faring well for the third day in a row this week, as 13 of
the 15 foreign indices that we track are currently in positive territory. The
average return for the collective stood at 0.248 in early trading this morning.
In Europe, automakers were rebounding somewhat after yesterday's rather nasty
sell off. Furthermore, semiconductors received a boost after Infineon
Technologies announced that it is considering spinning off its DRAM memory chip
unit for a possible initial public offering later this year. Asian markets
were also better off, as Japanese economic activity in April rose 1.7 percent
from March, according to the Ministry of Economy, Trade, and Industry. The rise
bested the 1.4-percent gain expected by economists.
Futures are trading mixed this morning, as crude futures have regrouped and
begun to march higher once again. The August contract gained 13 cents to
$58.22 in early trading after plunging nearly two percent yesterday. Elsewhere
in the oil pits, CNOOC, China's biggest offshore oil company, officially
launched a takeover bid for Unocal last night. CNOOC is offering $18.5 billion
for Unocal, easily topping Chevron's current bid for the oil concern.

DYNAMIC MARKET OPPORTUNITIES
Brit Ryle, financial writer and investment expert with the 247profits group, is
on record with a forecast that says the US Federal Reserve will increase
interest rates to 3.5%. With current rates at 3%, that means the Fed should
pause in the very near future. Ryle is in good company. Global bond fund guru
Bill Gross of PIMCO bond funds has also said that the Fed can't risk going
higher than 3.5%. In addition, Gross sees the potential for rate cuts early
next year. While the idea of a rate cut is debatable at this point, it could
happen if oil prices remain prohibitively high. One institution that is
pondering an interest rate cut, however, is the Bank of England. Minutes from
the bankers' June meeting show that this could be a possibility. Two of the
nine-member panel -- Marian Bell and Charles Bean voted for a rate cut.
However, all seven other members voted for 'no change.' The shift in
thinking from Bell and Bean comes after an 8-1 "no change" vote in May, with
the one exception suggesting a rate increase. It also comes amid signs of a
notable slowdown in consumer spending and poor retail sales, as well as a
long-awaited cooling in the housing sector that is further eroding consumer
confidence. But the two were outvoted by the others, who argued that more
evidence was needed before the bank reverses the rate hiking trend it started
in November 2003 and ended in August 2004, five hikes and with rates 1.25%
higher at 4.75%. But with little sign of a rebound in consumer spending and
with the housing market gradually sliding from its peak, some are now
projecting a rate cut by the end of the summer.
