What makes him think the rally "came to a halt" just becase it doesn't go up every day? Is he assuming rallies must keep rising and rising every day without corrections/pullbacks?...

More ‘green shoots’ keep Wall Street upbeat NEW YORK, April 25, 2009 (AFP) - Amid growing signs of an easing of the economic crisis, Wall Street has managed to keep a mostly sunny outlook even though a six-week rally came to a halt. After a heavy week of earnings reports prompted some turbulence, the market will focus on economic news and the outlook for the auto sector with two of the Big Three manufacturers on the ropes. In the week to Friday, the Dow Jones Industrial Average of blue chips fell 0.68 percent and the Standard & Poor’s 500 broad-market index dipped 0.39 percent. This ended a six-week rally that analysts said had been the best since 1938. The tech-heavy Nasdaq however extended its gains to a seventh week, rising 1.27 percent to 1,694.29, its best level since last November. Although market’s stunning six-week rally took a breather, analysts say the tone remains positive amid hopes for an end to the deep recession and grueling bear market. “Increasingly we are seeing greater numbers of economists saying that improvement in the economy will be clearly evident late this year,” said Gregory Drahuschak at Janney Montgomery Scott. “The market will not wait for the data.” Investors have latched on to both corporate and economic news that, while far from upbeat, suggests a bottom may be near if not already here. Benjamin Reitzes at BMO Capital Markets said after data showed a 0.6 percent drop in new home sales that “this is the latest housing market indicator to show signs of a potential bottom.” “Financial markets, to varying degrees, have begun to price in economic recovery,” said Julian Callow at Barclays Capital. “A key issue for the weeks and months ahead will be whether economic indicators improve in a way that validates this.” Others were more skeptical. “The rally has been driven by bullish sentiments rather than by bullish fundamentals,” said Ed Yardeni at Yardeni Research “That’s fine as long as the fundamentals that drive earnings start to actually improve, and not just worsen at a slower pace.” Nouriel Roubini, a New York University economist, calls the rally a “dead-cat bounce.” “In the last two years, the stock market has predicted six out of the last zero economic recoveries – that is, six bear market rallies that eventually fizzled and led to new lows,” he said. Roubini said growth will falter “and earnings of corporations and financial institutions will not rebound as fast as the consensus predicts,” dampening any recovery. Fred Dickson at DA Davidson & Co. said the market tone is improving along wiht corporate and economic news. “Unlike last quarter, this quarter we are seeing analysts raise estimates following positive earnings surprise announcements. This has kept investor enthusiasm for stocks reasonably high,” he said. “Investors will need to see growing evidence that the economy is close to turning the corner to ignite the second stage of the current rally. The second stage is normally fueled by frightened money managers who are scrambling to play catch up with the market averages and their performance benchmarks after sitting out the first stage of a new bull market with lots of cash.” In the coming week, the market will see the initial estimate for US economic activity in the first quarter. The expectation is that the economy contracted at a 4.9 percent pace, which is dismal but not as bad as the 6.3 percent drop in the fourth quarter of 2008. Also on tap will be earnings from General Motors, which like rival Chrysler is struggling to get enough federal government help to avert bankruptcy. One key Friday will be the monthly sales for the US auto market, which could signal whether consumers are buying and credit is flowing. Kent Engelke, strategist at Capitol Securities, said the market is especially fearful of a ripple effect of a potential bankruptcy at General Motors. He added that officials considering new aid to the auto sector may fail to understand the impact of a GM failure that could be as big as that of Lehman Brothers, which he said “was the catalyst for the worst financial crisis since the Depression that has cost trillions (of dollars) and millions of jobs.” Bonds fell. The yield on the 10-year US Treasury bond increased to 2.996 percent against 2.930 percent a week earlier and that on the 30-year bond rose to 3.876 percent from 3.785 percent. Bond yields and prices move in opposite directions. |

Hongkong next week: HONG KONG, April 24, 2009 (AFP) - Hong Kong share prices are set to fluctuate wildly next week due to the lack of clear indicators on the state of the US economy, dealers said. For the week ending April 24, the Hang Seng Index closed at 15,258.85, down 2.2 percent over the previous week. Peter Lai, DBS sales director, said share prices would be driven by news and sentiment next week as investors struggled to find reliable economic indicators for directions. “The market will fluctuate widely and wildly next week because of the uncertainties and lack of direction,” he told AFP. “The automakers and the banks in the US are not yet on the road (to) recovery,” he said, adding that the index would track closely with the performance of the New York and Shanghai indices. Lai said he expects the index to trade in the range of 14,000 to 15,000 next week. “The local market’s trading in the near term is likely to remain volatile as there’s still a lack of clear direction ahead,” YK Chan, a portfolio manager at Phillip Asset Management, told Dow Jones Newswires. pol/dan |

Next Week: SINGAPORE, April 24, 2009 (AFP) - Singapore shares are likely to trade cautiously next week as hopes for an early economic recovery were dashed by recent data, analysts said. Manufacturing output shrank almost 34 percent in March from a year ago, the government said, indicating demand for Singapore’s exports remains severely affected by the global economic slump. The manufacturing sector is a key pillar of the trade-dependent economy, which is tipped to contract by as much as nine percent this year. “We are still in a buy-on-pullback kind of market, the fear-of-losing-out mentality is supporting the market,” DBS Vickers strategist Yeo Kee Yan said. Key stock indices in Japan and China closed lower Friday, dragged by worries about weak corporate earnings and the state of the US auto sector. The blue chip Straits Timex Index closed at 1,852.85 points on Friday, down 43.71 points, or 2.3 percent, from the week before. Average daily volume was 1.61 billion shares worth 1.19 billion Singapore dollars (799 million US) compared with 2.58 billion shares worth 1.38 billion dollars last week. - Dow Jones Newswires contributed to this story - bh/mba/dan |

As most of d blue chips div are going X last week n 1st week of May. If their respective 1Q result r not promissing, actually, must be, correction after div X is unavoidable. Now, US bank stress test results going to be announced on 4 May. At ds moment, dun see good remarks on d 1Q report on US banks leh. Just listen to Ch 8 news, d MFTs claimed that better sell off now before kanna stuck. Nonetheless, $ r yours, u decide d que loh. Above no calling. |

The next 'crisis' may be a long time coming... meanwhile, a recovery appears inevitable. Right now, we still have the luxury of the enormous injections of $$$ via bailouts, printing new money, etc... to tide us through and keep the current world financial/economic system going (strong). Just enjoy the free ride.  |
