Samuti tulid eile kaks Citigroupi analüütikut välja ennustusega, et Altria (MO) võiks tulevikus osta sigarite- ja snusi-valmistaja Swedish Matchi. Kusjuures viimane läheks eeldatavasti Philip Morris USA koosseisu, mis püüab asendada langevaid sigarettide müügimahte ning ei soovi täielikult ilma jääda rahvusvahelisest haardest. Kuigi selline kooslus oleks iseenesest huvitav, siis ülemäära tõsiselt ei maksaks ennustusse suhtuda, kuna erinevaid võimalusi pakutakse turgudel välja pidevalt.
Täna hommikust päeva alguse kauplemist saab mõjutama tund enne turu avanemist teatatav oktoobrikuu tarbijahinnaindeks (konsensus +0.3%, core CPI ootus +0.2%) – kui number on oodatust suurem, võib rääkida inflatsioonihirmudest(mis teadupärast pole turgudele just kõige meelepärasem), kui oodatust väiksem, siis on jälle Föderaalreservil intresside osas pisut vabamad käed (mis turgudele meeldiks).
Ei häbene rumal välja näha kui tuleb välja et loll küsimus, äkki oskab/viitsib keegi spetsialist vastata: Kuidas mõjutab langev $ USA pankasid? Kas pos. või neg. see nende jaoks? Või siis teise nurga alt - kas langev $ on kasulikum USA suurpankadele (C, MS) või n. Deutshe Bank´le?
White Nigga, langev $ mõjutab näiteks rahapoliitikat või siis rahapoliitika mõjutab langevat dollarit : -) See omakorda mängib intressimääradega ning see kajastub omakorda NIMis (net interest margin - ehk siis praktiliselt lühikese raha sisse laenamise ja pika välja laenamise vahe) ja pankade kasumis.
stocker, ilmselt jah. Kõik, mis inflatsioonistatistikat puudutab, paistab praegu ülitundlik teema olevat ja annab alust spekulatsiooniks Fedi tegutsemise oasas.
WSJ kirjutab jätkuvalt sub-prime laenude mahakirjutamisest. Lähemalt kommenteeritakse UBSi ja Citigroupi. Viimane on võrreldes MERi ja MSiga mahakirjutamiste protsent väiksem.
The Wall Street Journal reports expectations are growing that UBS (UBS) may face Q4 write-downs of as much as 8 bkn Swiss francs, or $7.11 bln.
Investors and analysts believe that Citigroup (C) may face more pain after announcing last week that it expected to take write-downs of $8 bln to $11 bln in Q4. Citigroup, which packaged subprime-backed bonds into CDOs, may face the toughest questions. Citigroup appears to have written down its CDO holdings by about 20%, compared to write-downs of 30% by Merrill Lynch (MER) and Morgan Stanley (MS), Sanford C. Bernstein analyst Howard Mason says.
If Citigroup is forced to take further hits because of deterioration in the market for even the most senior and safe portions of CDOs, that could force it to bring its level of write-downs at least in line with those taken by Merrill and Morgan. In that case, the bank could see additional CDO write-downs of $2 bln to $4 bln, Mr. Mason said on a conference call Tuesday.
Citigroup ended up with more than half of its $43 billion in CDO exposure because it had agreed to provide emergency financing to managers of subprime-backed CDOs it had sponsored. The bank isn't believed to have any more such commitments.
Suntech Power lõi päris korralikult ootusi ja kõrgete kordajatega hinnatud tööstusharu on näitamas kiiret kasvu. Prognoosid 2008. aastaks vastavad aga ootustele. Päris huvitav silm peal hoida, kuidas sellistele ilusatele numbritele reageeritakse.
STP Q3 earnings of $0.36 per share, $0.08 better than the Reuters Estimates consensus of $0.28; revenues rose 137.3% year/year to $386.7 mln vs the $357.1 mln consensus. Co issues in-line guidance for FY08, sees FY08 revs of $1.9-2.1 bln vs. $1.94 bln consensus.
WSJ on toonud välja CPI ja vastavalt siis ka prognoosid. Nagu näha, on 2007. aasta detsembri prognoos (kütusehindade, commodity tõttu) üles kerkinud, kuid 2008. aasta juuni trend on veel suhteliselt sile. Kui kõrged kütusehinnad on here-to-stay ning hinnasurve ei lakka, korrigeeritakse ilmselt sealgi prognoose üles. See kindlasti ei meeldi ei Fedile ega ka Euroopa keskpankadele.
Lisaks Suntechile plaanis täna enne turgude avanemist oma majandustulemused avaldada ka Solafun (SOLF), kuid mingil põhjusel on need nädala jagu edasi lükatud. Kuid veel enne, täpsemalt kolmapäeval, teeb seda Trina Solar (TSL) ja täna peale turgu LDK Solar (LDK).
8. novembril kiitis FMD aktsionäride üldkoosolek heaks täiendavvate aktsiate emiteerimise 250m aktsiani st. tänaste hindade juures vähemalt 4.8B USD, lisaks on ettevõttel raha 380m jagu
mida kavatseb või saaks FMD osta 5-6B eest ? tegemist on suurema ampsuga kui FMD ise
kui vaadata ringi sektoris, kus ta ise tegutseb, siis market cap'i poolest sobiks STU või NNI loogilisem valik oleks minu arust STU, seda on ka lihtsam üle osta - 80% on Citi käes. praegu tundub ka õige aeg (turu mõttes) see asi ära teha
mis mõtted liiguvad, juhuks kui FMD ostaks lähema kvartali jooksul STU ? ma mõtlen siis pigem FMD vaatevinklist
Tänased numbrid vastavalt ootustele - esmane reaktsioon on indeksites pisut ülespoole, kuid jätkuvalt ebakindel liikumine.

The Negatives Have Started to Matter By Rev Shark RealMoney.com Contributor 11/15/2007 7:53 AM EST
Somehow our devils are never quite what we expect when we meet them face to face. -- Nelson DeMille
For many months, the major indices have moved steadily higher as they ignored a slew of negatives. The bears were greatly frustrated as the market simply shrugged off bad-debt issues, a slowing economy, lousy real estate and high oil. Even after we suffered a sharp selloff in August on bad-debt issues, the market came roaring back as investors counted on the Fed to ease the pain.
Nothing much has changed recently as far as the many negatives we face, but the mood of market players has soured considerably. That stubborn optimism that has served the market so well has eroded, and the confidence that it is safe to pile into a few big-cap technology stocks has abruptly come to an end.
Such shifts in mood without a major change in the news is simply the nature of the market. Market players tend to focus on the reasons for market movement only after such moves occur. With the market off its highs, it is now easy and convenient to focus on all those negatives that have always been there.
The good news for this market is that there is no secret as to the devils that are plaguing us. Right now, the continued bad-debt write-offs in the financial sector are the prime focus. There is no surprise negative news hitting us. We just don't know the extent of the issues that we are worrying about. The market does not like uncertainty because it can't price it in, and that is the big problem right now.
Another problem for the market right now is that another potential rate cut by the Fed is failing to reassure investors. In August and September, the Fed anticipation was the primary reason the market bounced so strongly. The Fed is very likely to cut again in the near future, but the market is not taking any great comfort in that fact. We have the CPI report this morning, which, if benign, may help to bolster some optimism about the Fed making another cut. That could get something going, but the market is no longer perceiving a cut as the magic bullet to cure all ills.
Many market players were hopeful that we might see another "V"-shaped market recovery after the huge bounce on Tuesday. The dreary close yesterday called that into question, but it doesn't mean the market is doomed at this point. Action like yesterday is far more typical after a big bounce than a straight-up recovery. Markets tend to be healthier and bottom out better when we have a series of failed spikes and bounces that shakes out weak hands and short terms. This action will actually serve us well for a rally as we enter the seasonally positive time of the year.
We have a soft open this morning as more bad-debt write-offs hit, but the focus is on CPI. Overseas markets were mostly negative. Oil and gold are trading down. ---------------------------- Ülespoole avanevad:
