MARKET OVERVIEW
Overseas markets are painting a bleak picture this morning, as all the markets
that we track are drowning in a sea of red. The FTSE recorded a five week low,
dragged down by telecom and utility sectors. The old market manipulator - crude
oil prices contributed to the pullback. The Hang Seng is down 0.10% with the
computer company Lenovo headed south as investors did not take kindly to its
plans to acquire IBM's PC business.
The U.S. Dollar Index gained 0.66 points during U.S. trading yesterday. The
dollar's bounce against commodity-linked currencies sent the greenback higher
against all of its major rivals. The dollar was last quoted at 104.04 yen, up
1.1 percent. One euro cost $1.3333, 0.7 percent less than it cost the day
before. Nevertheless, there are still many key risk factors regarding the fate
of the U.S. currency. Record trade deficits are acting to diminish foreign
confidence in the ability of the U.S. to repay its credit. Foreigners have
been acting to fund the U.S. trade imbalance for quite some time now, and they
are beginning to tire of the practice.

DYNAMIC MARKET OPPORTUNITIES
After watching helplessly for months while crude oil prices raced to around $56
per barrel in October, the oil market seems to have stabilized. Amid
speculation that OPEC will lower its official production quota of 27 million
barrels per day (a 25-year high) at a meeting on Friday, Saudi oil minister Ali
al-Naimi moved swiftly to reassure the market on Wednesday. Al-Naimi stated
that as long as current strong demand for oil exists, his country will continue
pumping at the 9.5 million barrels per day pace it has maintained since August.
Quoted on CNN, al-Naimi declared: "The winter is coming ... so why should we do
anything?" Why indeed? His statement cheered the market and sent crude prices
down to $40.55 - the lowest since July. That means in just over a week, crude
prices have sunk by $9 per barrel (18%). But what do production limits mean to
OPEC anyway? Yes, the official limit is currently 27 million barrels per day
(bpd), but the cartel is pumping about one million bpd more than that. Most of
the excess comes from Saudi Arabia, as it's the only country with any spare
production capacity. Another issue up for discussion is the seemingly redundant
oil price band. For the past year, crude prices have consistently traded above
OPEC's $22-28 per barrel target price. Speculation was rife that the cartel
would increase the band back in September, but it decided to leave it alone - a
decision that puzzled many. Now, Iran and Venezuela are among those calling for
an increase this time around.
