Consumer Sentiment at Lowest Level Since Stagflation Era
2008-05-19 16:48:00 Mirroring the stagflation of the early 1980s, consumer sentiment hit its lowest level since that time period this month as short-term inflation continues to ramp up. The Reuters/University of Michigan preliminary index of consumer sentiment dropped to 59.5 in May from 62.6 in April. The index is at its lowest level since June 1980. Consumer confidence was at 85.6 as recently as 2007. “The consumer is getting extremely grumpy,” Brian Bethune, director of financial economics at Global Insight Inc., who had forecast a decline in the confidence index to 59.6, told Bloomberg News. “The economy is flirting with a recession. The only thing keeping it out is this huge amount of pump-priming going on,” including aggressive interest-rate reductions by the U.S. Federal Reserve, the government’s stimulus package and deep discounting by retailers. Lower-income households are feeling the rising prices at the pump and grocery store most acutely, the survey showed, as su...

Look beyond sentiment to fundamentals
2008-02-23 12:07:00 Since the disastrous January derivatives expiry, the technicals of the Indian market would appear to have improved considerably, at least in a relative sense. The froth in the futures market has been washed away with the stock futures position standing at only Rs 30,000 crore, a fraction of what it had risen to last month. The other ostensible reason for the January crash–constricted money supply because of IPO subscription–has also been corrected. IPO refunds are in from both Reliance Power and Future Capital. In fact, even the listings are done so the flippers have had an opportunity to book out. Curiously, none of this has led to any visible relief for the market, contrary to general expectations. Despite improved technicals, the trend remains southward, volumes are pathetic and every rally is getting sold into. The obvious culprit is sentiment. Local sentiment has been crippled by the savage January sell-off and more recently by the dismal events of the IPO market. G...

Cycle & sentiment indicators say buy
2008-02-01 07:00:00 "Many analysts feel we are in a bear market or soon will be; we disagree," says Dan Sullivan (ccount/click.php?id=1711). In his The Chartist (ccount/click.php?id=1711), he looks at cycles and sentiment indicators that are bullish."The overall sentiment amongst individual investors is extremely negative, which in the upside down world of Wall Street is a very healthy sign. "In their most recent poll, the bearish contingent of the American Association of Individual Investors had 55% in the bearish camp. This means that 55% of the investors polled by AAII expect the market to be lower over the next 6 months. "The current bearish reading has only been surpassed on two occasions over the past 4 years. There were 58% AAII bears back on July 14, 2006. Over the next six months, the Dow posted a gain of 14.79%. And the AAII bearish contingent hit 56% on November 23, 2007, one day before the bottom of the October/November selloff."There’s the Presidential Cycle. Since 1883, the Dow has ...
U.S. STOCKS - Market advances as durables boost sentiment
2008-01-30 13:11:00 By Caroline Valetkevitch NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks gained on Tuesday as data showing a higher-than-expected rise in orders of durable goods last month eased some economic worries, helping shares of major manufacturers. Investors also expected another interest rate cut from the Federal Reserve, which added to optimism. After the government data showing higher demand for long-lasting manufactured goods, plane maker Boeing Co rose 2.1 percent at $79.20 and heavy-equipment manufacturer Caterpillar Inc gained 1.3 percent at $69.09. They were among the top advancers in the Dow's 30 industrial stocks. Another gauge, the Dow transportation average, rose 1.7 percent, turning positive for the year and signaling strength for both manufacturing and transportation. The Fed's policy-setting Open Market Committee was set to meet on Tuesday and Wednesday, and investors expected the session to conclude with the announcement of a rate cut, the second in about a week.

Major currencies continue to mirror global market sentiment
2008-01-25 07:46:00 On Wednesday, the single currency again traded as a kind of carry trade currency, at least in relation to the dollar and the yen. The poor performance of stock markets during the morning session in Europe and the losses at the open in the US made EUR/USD to give back half of Tuesday gains and pair reached an intraday low in the 1.4510-area. The gradual improvement of US stocks later in the session helped the pair to return above the 1.46 mark and the pair still trades in that area this morning. The European eco data (PMI, slightly better than expected) and the speech of Mr. Trichet had no lasting impact on trading. Today, the IFO business confidence will be on to the agenda. In the recent past, the IFO had no material impact on the currency market, but in the current juncture it deserves some more attention as it could impact the market expectations on the ECB interest rate path going forward. In the US, the claims and the existing home sales are on the agenda, but those series are...

With Negative Sentiment Soaring, We Might Be Starting A Bottoming Process
2008-01-18 19:32:00 One of the stranger things about 2007 was the huge discrepancy between different areas of the U.S. stock market. Despite widespread problems, the stock market didn't fare badly unless you looked under the hood. The S&P 500 finished the year up 5%, hardly indicative of the issues we are facing. In fact, of the market's ten major sectors, only two of them trailed the S&P 500 index's return last year. Financial services (-21%) and consumer discretionary (-14%) stocks were correctly pricing in a recession (or something that feels like one) but the other eight sectors just kept humming right along.Well, it appears we are now getting a more realistic reaction in the market to the economic challenges we are dealing with. We've dropped 10% in less than 3 weeks, and the selling has been much more widespread. Realistically, we were due for this type of action. That said, the negative sentiment in the market right now is deafening. We won't know how bad things really are until fou...
Wall Street woes continue to weigh on sentiment- US
2008-01-12 00:17:00 Wall Street woes continue to weigh on sentiment- US By R SIVANITHY IF there was a single theme to this week’s trading, it would have been ’sell the bounces and only selectively buy the dips’. This comes from the fact that every bounce was quickly met with waves of selling pressure, even when Wall Street rose the night before. The source of all the negativity was actually Wall Street, where bounces are now viewed with a great deal of scepticism and where investors find a unique development in place - virtually all analysts and brokers are in agreement that the immediate outlook for stocks is not positive. Over the course of the first two weeks of 2008, brokers such as Morgan Stanley, Merrill Lynch, Citigroup and Goldman Sachs have released cautionary reports on the market, all revolving around the likelihood of the US economy slipping into a recession and the strong probability that this has not yet been discounted by Wall Street. Estimates for the quantity by which...

Realtor Sentiment Report
2007-11-07 21:53:00 The Bank of America Realtor Sentiment Report is out for October. This is a useful report as it shows how people involved in Real Estate on a daily basis (realtors) are perceiving the market. I find that the market tends to be a little more negative than the market actually indicates. I blame this bias on the large number of sales agents who are struggling to make a living in this industry. The survey shows that Realtors are perceiving slow but improved buyer traffic than the previous month. It also shows that Realtors are seeing lowering prices and longer times to sell. I agree with all of these statements. Click here to see the page of the report from the DC Metro area: http://thechinsells.directhomes-.com/files/937026/Washington_Bo-fA_Report110107.pdf
