Record closing high was 11,722.98, hit on Jan. 14, 2000. However, the Dow remained below the record intra-day high of 11,750.28, hit on the same day in 2000. |

Dow Jones briefly set a new record high of 11,724.86 before slipping back. The S&P is still way below its closing high of 1,527.46. The Nasdaq is not expected to approach its high close of 5,048.62 any time soon. |

Wonder how US investors will react to this GDP figure just out at opening bell ...... US markets may swing up if this revised GDP reflects a weaker economy, thus signalling a Fed's rate cut by year end. Or markets may swing down in natural response to sigh this GDP cut. And higher oil price. ------------------------ The downward revision was unexpected. Economists surveyed by MarketWatch had been forecasting second-quarter GDP to remain unrevised at a 2.9% rate.
Economic growth has averaged a 3.6% rate over the past four quarters. The economy expanded at a 5.6% rate in the first quarter.
The revisions to second-quarter GDP were largely due to lower inventory investment and a worsening trade balance.

I'll be wary if I were you. The market has been rallying on rate hikes. When the rate is cut, it'll signal the start of the bear market. |

Housing slump woes could be Wall Street's gain. That's because a wide range of real estate experts agree that much of the current weakness in sales and home prices is due to investors pulling out of the sector. And some stock market experts say that the money being pulled out of homes is finding its way into stocks. What an excuse to talk up the market! |

But US markets not responding to this good news now ... It was the first increase in new-home sales since March.
Sales are down 17.4% in the past year and are down 23% from the peak last July.
Sales in May, June and July were revised sharply lower. July's sales pace was revised to 1.009 million, the lowest since March 2003, from an earlier 1.072 million. See the full government report.
According to the MarketWatch survey, economists were expecting sales to fall about 3.4% in August to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.036 million. The August result is about 1.4% higher than expected. See Economic Calendar.

No lah, Chipchip66 ....... I had expected a rally but not such a massive rally as this time of the year. And October is a risky month. So, be wary cos this week may be a baseless 'after-summer cum Fed-pause' rally ya. |
