MARKET OVERVIEW
Overseas trading is looking rather bleak at the moment, as not one of the
markets that we follow is in positive territory at the moment. The cumulative
average return on the group stands at a 1.437-percent loss. European shares
dropped sharply Friday as a disappointing quarterly update from mobile-phone
venture Sony Ericsson added to the concerns over 2005 profit growth potential
for the technology companies. Meanwhile, Asian benchmarks dropped today
following Samsung Electronics' disappointing first quarter results heightened
fears about technology firms' profit outlooks.
The U.S. Dollar Index rallied 0.69 percent in trading yesterday to finally stop
at the key 85 level. In early trading this morning, the index is down slightly
as the currency is higher against only the Brazilian real, the peso, and the
Canadian dollar.

DYNAMIC MARKET OPPORTUNITIES
The airline sector continues to endure a bumpy ride. An initial survey from
travel operator OAG shows flight numbers are finally back up to pre-September
11 levels. Figures from March show 2.27 million flights worldwide -- 45,000
more than in April 2001, the previous high. Global economic growth has now
improved to the extent that more folks are taking flights. Passenger traffic
is rising by 6% per year. The strong growth is particularly evident in
emerging nations like China, despite rising fuel prices and many airlines
imposing fuel surcharges on passengers. Fuel costs alone accounted for almost
a quarter of Cathay Pacific's operating expenses in 2004. The rise of budget
airlines throughout the world is also tempting travelers. There are almost 20%
more flights offered by low-cost airlines than this time in 2004, with budget
carriers operating 10% of all global flights this year. But there's no
escaping the fierce pressure that high fuel prices are placing on the industry.
According to the International Air Transport Association (IATA), oil's steep
climb could hit airlines for an additional US$5.5 billion (2.9 billion pounds
sterling) this year. Total industry-wide losses from 2001 through 2005 could
hit an astonishing US$40 billion. Even IATA chief Giovanni Bisignani declared
the battered airline industry "fragmented, constrained and quite frankly in
many places a disaster." Elsewhere, a study from the Organization for Economic
Cooperation and Development, which represents 30 nations, reveals a downward
revision to global growth this year. From a November 2004 forecast of 2.9% GDP
growth for its members, the group trimmed that to 2.8%. That follows 3.4%
expansion in 2004. The OECD cited sharp slowdowns in Japan and Germany,
coupled with the runup in oil prices, and high US deficits. Japan's forecast
was slashed from 2.3% to 0.8%, following its dismal fourth quarter, while
Eurozone numbers were lowered from 2.2% to 1.6%. The US is expected to post
growth of 3.8%, while China and India exceed 8%. For 2006, the OECD currently
projects a 3% growth rate within the group.
