MARKET OVERVIEW
Trading overseas is particularly grim this morning, with only four of the 15
markets that we follow in positive territory. The cumulative average return on
the group stands at a -0.132 percent. Investors have largely shrugged off the
positive earnings reports from Nestle and Schering, as carmakers were among the
leading decliners due to the continued rise in oil prices. On the other hand,
Asia put in a positive session, with the Nikkei closing with a 0.25-percent
gain.
The June contract on sweet crude oil made substantial gains on Friday. All day,
the contract traded at or above the previous close of $54.20 per barrel.
Earnings season rolls on, and several energy companies are due to reveal their
secrets this week, with analysts expecting the high crude prices to bump up the
numbers.

DYNAMIC MARKET OPPORTUNITIES
Read the press release following the latest meeting of G7 nations and chief
among the list of concerns are the "imbalances" cited in economic growth,
government finances and currency flows. For example, much of the world is
currently too dependent on the US and China to generate forward economic
progress, while Japan and Europe continue to struggle. However, sustained solid
expansion in the US is by no means a guarantee. While corporate profits are
still very healthy, the pace of job growth remains inconsistent, and the
country's deficits continue to weigh heavily on both the economy and the
dollar. China saw another explosive quarter, in which GDP growth soared 9.5%
compared with a year earlier. But that doesn't hide the fact that such
extraordinary expansion cannot continue forever. While the Chinese government's
attempts to cool the economy have so far met with limited success, the economy
will eventually slow down. By then, it's imperative that other global economies
can compensate. The G7 also cites the serious problem regarding China's
currency policy. China's yuan currency remains attached to the US dollar at
8.28 - undoubtedly an artificially low level that gives the Chinese an unfair
competitive advantage over the US in the global export market. America's
bloated trade deficit, and its trade gap with China, is key evidence. The G7
report called for "more flexibility in exchange rates" and "vigorous action
needed to address global imbalances." The US noted that China has had over two
years to reform its currency policy, and demanded immediate action to move to a
fairer valuation. All countries except Japan supported the US, arguing that
this would encourage other Asian nations to allow their currencies to
appreciate against the dollar, and enhancing parity. However, China ignored the
remarks, maintaining that sudden currency policy shifts could derail its
economic stability. In March, People's Bank of China governor Zhou Xiaochuan
said China would not revalue the yuan simply to correct trade imbalances.
