Globaalsed aktsiaturud on jätkanud oma märtsis alguse saanud võimsat rallit. Aasias oli laiapõhjaline tõus ning ka USA indeksite futuurid on eelturul ca 0.5% kuni 0.6% kõrgemal, olles 11 kuu kõrgeimate tasemete juures.
Tund aega enne USA aktsiaturu avanemist teatatakse möödunud nädala esmaste töötu abiraha taotluste arv, millelt oodatakse 560 000 suurust näitu. Kestvad abiraha taotlused peaksid jääma 6.2 miljoni juurde.
Hiinas oodatust paremini minevast automüügist on olnud palju juttu, aga panen selle kohta Deutsche Banki ühest viimasest analüüsist siia ka seda illustreeriva pildi:
Põhjused, miks JMP soovitust tõstab, on järgmised:
1) The company continues to innovate and release impressive new products;
2) margins are high and the brand appears untouchable;
3) desktop Mac and MacBook sales have continued to grow market share;
4) the company has sold over 30 mln iPhones at near $500 each, but has deferred a large portion of that and now has over $12 bln in deferred revenue;
5) Y/Y revenue growth has accelerated recently; 6) the new video camera functionality may drive an iPod product cycle...

Skepticism, like chastity, should not be relinquished too readily.
-- George Santayana
The most notable attribute of this market recently has been its persistent strength in the face of a very high level of skepticism. While most investors acknowledge that our economic situation has stabilized and may even be slowly improving, few seem to believe that conditions are as positive as the market action is indicating.
The explanation for why the market has stayed so strong even though there is so much skepticism is that the bailouts and economic stimulations have created a huge amount of liquidity that has few places to go but into equities. That has created persistent strength and very strong underlying support that continually sucks in folks who are sitting on the sidelines, fretting about being left behind.
However, just because the skeptics have been wrong for a long time doesn't mean they won't eventually be correct. Like all things in the market, it is a matter of timing, and the likelihood is that at some point the worries and concerns that are on the minds of many will start to matter, selling will kick in and then feed on itself.
In the meantime, those skeptics serve as a constant source of fuel for the market. They are squeezed when they try to press shorts and are chasing things higher as they worry about being left behind once again.
The dilemma for investors who are trying to be flexible and open-minded is that it is tough to completely embrace the positive market action when there is so much skepticism swirling about. It is even tougher when the chart action is so confounding. We have consistently gone straight back up to new highs after some technical damage was done. That just isn't textbook action, and it has made for tough trading if you are using technical analysis as a guide.
So we have a market being bolstered by an artificial infusion of cash, a high level of skepticism and a persistent uptrend. We'd be foolish not to have some doubts about how much more this market can run, but until there is a shift in the character of the action, the skepticism needs to say on the back burner.
Meredith Whitney is on CNBC this morning and sounding quite bearish overall. She says October will be a month of reckoning, that home prices have another leg down and that bank fundamentals have not improved. She helped to trigger the big run that started in July with bullish comments about Goldman Sachs (GS) , so it will be interesting to see if the market reacts to her comments today.
We have quiet action in the early going. We moved up slightly on the weekly unemployment claims, but there isn't much movement overall. We have significant technical overhead at the year-to-date high for the S&P 500 at 1039. We have already made a new closing high but have yet to breach that intraday high, which is the level everyone is watching.
