China Manufacturing Quickens From Weakest Since 2009

 

Manufacturing in China grew at a faster pace in August after the weakest performance since early 2009 in July, signaling that the economy’s slowdown is stabilizing.

 

The purchasing managers’ index rose to 51.7 from 51.2, exceeding forecasts, a government-backed report showed. Seasonal factors might have had an effect because the index typically gains as factories restart following July maintenance, Mizuho Securities Asia Ltd. said. A separate PMI released by HSBC Holdings Plc and Markit Economics gained to 51.9 from 49.4.

Australia Growth Quickens to Fastest Pace in Three Years

 

Australia’s economy grew at the fastest pace in three years last quarter, stoked by China’s demand for iron ore, boosting the currency on speculation interest-rate increases will resume early next year.

 

Gross domestic product advanced 1.2 percent from the first quarter, when it rose a revised 0.7 percent, the Bureau of Statistics said in Sydney today. That beat the median estimate in a Bloomberg survey of 23 economists for a 0.9 percent gain.

Harrisburg Defaults

...let the death of muni's and muni bond insurers begin

 

....with AUTHORITY !!!

[rdkyote]

SP futs are such a rig. UFB.

[POTUS]

The fine City of Harrisburg did not DEFAULT.

 

After due and appropriate deliberation, the Mayor and other elected officials chose to "Delay A Payment".

 

Or, as it is most commonly called, they decided to "DAP" it.

 

It was a courageous decision in the face of adversity and should be applauded for what it really really represents for all Americans throughout the land.

 

This decision to DAP by the glorious City of Harrisburg will ultimately be remembered for what it truly is!

 

Have no fear about that!

edit: that freaking makes no sense. I am trading and typing (TnT)...you get the idea. Baltimore and Harrisburg both suck ass.

The terrible thing is that I understood what you meant by the first paragraph, without needing the explanation in the edit.

I was in the Harrisburg airport the day the first Gulf War started...Actually I was the only one in the Harrisburg airport that night. They had National Guard soldiers all over the place and didn't know what happened. I thought I did something.
