aussiebear Posted March 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2008 A reasonable fall today but spread unevenly across the sectors. All Ords -2.4% with the big losers being Property Trusts (renamed A-REIT), -4% and Financials -3.9%. Healthcare is down the least, -0.3%. The big miners are seeing some selling: BHP -1.7% and RIO -2.8%. Golds are holding up reasonably well: Newcrest -1%, Newmont -0.5% and Lihir -2.2%. Juniors flat to down. Minor losses, if any, on the oils: Woodside -0.3%, Santos +1.3% and Caltex -1.5%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roxy Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 From here: http://theroxylandr.wordpress.com/2008/03/.../#comment-28798 fredw Says: March 7, 2008 at 1:07 am Rumor posted at Across the Curve blog ( bond market site ) pertaining to an Emergency Fed Meeting Thursday. Fed allegedly will announce a significant increase in the TAF Friday and also a reduction in the haircut for collateral submitted to the facility. Anyone heard this in the rounds on Thursday ? ----- Seamus? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roxy Posted March 7, 2008 Report Share Posted March 7, 2008 David Rosenberg from Merrill said that break-even for non-far payrolls is 350k weekly claims. That means we should see a negative number or zero at bes tomorrow. Not that that's important. Employment is a lagging indicator and I'm paying no attention to it myself. ISM numbers and regional Fed surveys are much more informative to my taste. The most important economic indicator would be MEW (mortgage equity withdrawal), but it comes with 2 months lag. Just stick with charts, even though they are also a lagging indicator :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
