x 0 x 0 Alert Admin	Testing a record DOW is really a psychological barrier than anything else. With all the economic indicators monitored like chewing gums, I don't see US economy going to recession. It is just a soft landing when FED start to cut rates next month. The market just need a catalyst to find a justification to overtake the previous DOW high. What kind of catalyst i don't know. Anyone want to share share??

x 0 x 0 Alert Admin	Wah .... US stock futures slipping after this data out! -------------------- ECONOMIC REPORT Durable-goods orders unexpectedly fall 0.5% Weak demand seen almost everywhere except autos By Rex Nutting, MarketWatch Last Update: 8:30 AM ET Sep 27, 2006 WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - Despite increased demand for autos, orders for U.S.-made durable goods fell 0.5% in August as orders for aircraft, electronics, machinery, metals and electrical goods crumbled, the Commerce Department reported Thursday. It was the first back-to-back decline in orders since early 2003. July's decline was revised lower to 2.7%. Ominously, the report showed weak demand in almost every sector except autos, which is undergoing a traumatic restructuring and is not likely to contribute much to growth in the near-term. Orders for core capital goods equipment - business investment goods - fell 0.3% in August. Shipments of core capital goods rose 0.3% after a 1.6% gain in July, an indication that business investment could be weaker than expected in the third quarter after a surprising drop in the second quarter. Continued strength in capital spending is considered to be essential to the expected soft landing in the U.S. economy. Economists were expecting a small gain of around 0.5% in orders, according to a survey conducted by MarketWatch. It was the first back-to-back decline in orders since early 2003.

x 0 x 0 Alert Admin	Two economic data to be released tonite at 8.30pm and 10pm ... Dow just need only 54 points now to set all-time record high! What a shiok last week of September ya! -------------------------------- U.S. stock futures up slightly as Dow record looms Durable-goods orders data to come By Steve Goldstein, MarketWatch Last Update: 5:55 AM ET Sep 27, 2006 LONDON (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stock market futures were slightly higher on Wednesday with an all-time record for the Dow Jones Industrial Average in view and statistics on durable-goods orders and the housing market to come. On Tuesday, the Dow industrials closed at its highest level of the year, as investors reacted to a consumer confidence survey that appeared to show an economy not floundering as some had feared, but not growing too much to spur inflationary pressure. The Dow climbed 93 points, the S&P 500 rose by nearly 10 points and the Nasdaq Composite rose 12.3 points. The all-time high on the Dow is 11,722.98, reached in January 2000, meaning the Dow will have to climb a moderate 54 points to set a new record. Durable-goods orders probably rose 0.5% in August after a 2.5% drop in July, according to economists polled by MarketWatch, in data due out 8:30 a.m. Eastern. Investors also will be looking to new home sales in August, which probably fell to 1.04 million from 1.07 million in July. That data is due out 10 a.m. Eastern Crude-oil futures rose 45 cents to $61.46 a barrel ahead of weekly energy inventory numbers.

x 1 x 0 Alert Admin	Shiok! US stocks rally on confidence data S&P ends at 5-1/2 year high; Dow in striking distance of all-time high By Mark Cotton, MarketWatch Last Update: 4:54 PM ET Sep 26, 2006 NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stocks rallied Tuesday, pushing the S&P 500 Index to a new 5-1/2 year high and giving the Dow Jones Industrial Average its highest close of 2006, after lower oil prices and a better than expected consumer-confidence report eased economic worries. The Dow Jones Industrial Average closed up 93.58 points at 11,669.39, making for the highest close of the year and placing it within striking distance of its historic high close of 11,722.98, reached on Jan. 14, 2000. The Nasdaq Composite Index gained 12.27 points to end at 2,261.34 after briefly dipping into negative territory. The S&P 500 Index added 9.97 points to close at 1,336.34 -- the highest finishing level since the index closed at 1,340.89 on Feb. 7, 2001. Investors received an early boost after U.S. consumer confidence rebounded in September, according to the report from the Conference Board. Its consumer-confidence index rose to 104.5 in September after falling to a revised nine-month low of 100.2 in August. The rebound was stronger than expected, as economists had forecast the index would rise to 102.7 from August's initial reading of 99.6. Lower gasoline prices were seen as a factor improving confidence. See full story. "They like the fact that confidence is up, but they are also pleased that the report is not showing the consumer is planning to spend at above-average rates, and that is good news when it comes to the Fed," said Jeffrey Kleintop, chief investment strategist at PNC Advisors. Investors have been busy pondering if the Federal Reserve's done with its current round of interest-rate hikes.

x 0 x 0 Alert Admin	Stocks surged after Dallas Federal Reserve President Richard Fisher suggested inflation would be dampened by a slowing economy. He added that while the housing and auto sectors are economic weak points, the rest of the U.S. economy is doing "extremely well." Fisher's comments, made after a speech in Monterrey, Mexico, were a tonic to the market. Fisher said "the recent tempering of U.S. economic growth to a more sustainable rate ... should act to lower the inflation rate over time." Less inflation means less likelihood the Fed will continue to raise interest rates.

x 0 x 0 Alert Admin	Dow is down now! Housing index dropped again for the 5th month. Housing data is seen as one of recession indicators.Therefore, until Fed cut rates, US markets will trade on a negative bias. This will also depend on oil futures that can give a boost to stocks if it dips further. Cheerz!
