Aasias kisub päeva lõpp väga närviliseks- Shanghai Composite kukkus korraks -7.7% & hetkel -5.2% (Hang Seng -3.2%).
The China markets crashed because the markets are at an unattainable level because of hot money and there are fears the central government will act to cool the markets," said Francis Lun, general manager at Fulbright Securities.
Investorid on kindlad Hiina V-kujulises taastumises, kuid sellel nädalal on fookus suundunud valitsuse abiprogrammide ja lõdva monetaarpoliitika lõpetamisele, kuna mitmed ametiasutused hoiatavad uue mulli eest aktsia- ja kinnisvaraturgude.
Kohaliku meedia andmetel plaanivad kaks suurimat laenuandjat Industrial and Commercial Bank of China ja China Construction Bank selle aasta teises pooles oluliselt vähem laenumahtu suurendada.

Eile pärast turu sulgemist avaldas oma Q2 tulemused Columbia Sportswear (COLM). Kuigi kvartalitulemused suutsid analüütikute konsensust nii käibe kui ka kasumi osas lüüa, jäeti 2009. aasta tagasihoidlikud prognoosid samaks:
Reports Q2 (Jun) loss of $0.29 per share, $0.13 better than the First Call consensus of ($0.42); revenues fell 15.9% year/year to $179.2 mln vs the $167 mln consensus. COLM reaffirmed its previous expectation for total 2009 net sales to decline in the low double-digits on a percentage basis compared with 2008.
Analüütikute kommentaarid ettevõtte kohta on jätkuvalt negatiivsed. Citi kinnitab müügisoovitust, kuid tõstab hinnasihi $27 tasemele:
Reiterate Sell — Though Q2 results were better than anticipated, there were no major surprises from the qtr, in our view, w/ last qtr’s disappointing FY09 guidance maintained & fundamentals still highly challenging. Mgmt alsoappears to have low visibility on timing of returns on ongoing investments in product innovation and marketing, likely indicating a prolonged turnaround. Shares are overvalued, in our view, trading at 24x our FY09 ests, a significant premium to peers as well as Columbia’s 3-year avge fwd P/E of 14.5x, despite depressed top and bottom-line growth. We reiterate our Sell rating.
Goldman Sachs on samuti väljas müügisoovitusega ja hinnasiht jääb endiselt $28 tasemele:
While still unchanged, COLM’s full year sales and margin outlook continue to speak to a number of our concerns.
(1) As a wholesaler, COLM faces later cycle risks as retailers consolidate stores and control inventory. COLM’s 2H currency neutral sales plan implies some deterioration vs. 1H.
(2) Non-US market exposure (45% of sales) adds pressure as those regions continue to deteriorate and add a currency drag that will pressure gross margin through the balance of the year.
(3) COLM’s expenses from retail store openings in late 2008 are offsetting cost reduction efforts. The 2009E gross margin is essentially flat with 2006 and the roughly 750 bp of profit erosion over the period is from deleverage. SG&A dollars were flat in 2Q vs. 16% sales decline.
Seega ootaks täna COLM aktsiahinnas korrektsiooni pärast lühikese ajaga tehtud ligi 20%-list tõusu. Samas on võimalik, et aktsia on liiga „ülerahvastatud“ – 10. juuli seisuga oli lühikeste positsioonide osakaal 26%. Lisaks ei ole Bloomberg’i andmetel 14-st ettevõtet katvast analüütikust mitte ükski (!) väljas ostusoovitusega.

Microsoft (MSFT) ja Yahoo! (YHOO) sõlmisid tehingu, millega:
"…Microsoft will power Yahoo's search tool while Yahoo will become the exclusive sales force for both firms' premium search advertisers. Terms are for 10 years, in which Microsoft will license Yahoo's core search technologies, and Microsoft's Bing will become the exclusive algorithmic search and paid search platform for Yahoo sites. Microsoft will pay traffic acquisition costs at an initial rate of 88% of search revenue generated on Yahoo sites for the first five years. Yahoo sees the deal lifting annual operating income by around $500 million and capital expenditure savings of $200 million. Yahoo sees an annual operating cash flow benefit of $275 million."

Selle kuu alguses teatas Google, et arendab tasuta operatsioonisüsteemi Chrome OS (otsene rünnak Windows’ile). Nüüd on Microsoft Yahoo! tehniguga teinud vastulöögi ja üritab Google’i otsingumootori domineerimist lõpetada (ilmselt saab alles aastate pärast öelda, kumb lahingust võitjana väljub).
veel täpsemalt:
The June decline was due in part to 2.9% decline in manufacturing of unfilled orders, a 2.5% decline in computers and electronics and an 8.0% declinein capital goods. A key durable goods orders number seen as a barometer of health for business spending -- non-defense capital goods excluding aircraft --rose 1.4%.
Also significant was a 12.8% decline in transportation, the largest declinesince October 2008. Within transportation, orders for autos fell 1.0% while orders for non-defense aircraft and parts fell 38.5%. Both more than offset a 30.1% rise in orders for defense aircraft and parts.

Summary of Fed's Beige Book
Reports suggest that economic activity continued to be weak going into the summer, but most Districts indicated that the pace of decline has moderated since the last report or that activity has begun to stabilize, albeit at a low level. Manufacturing activity showed some improvement in the Richmond, Chicago, and Kansas City Districts; while St. Louis and Dallas reported some moderation of declines; Philadelphia and Minneapolis saw activity decrease; and most other Districts indicated that manufacturing activity continued at low levels. Boston, Richmond, St. Louis, Minneapolis, and San Francisco reported contractions in services industries. Banking sectors in the New York, Cleveland, Richmond, St. Louis, Kansas City, and San Francisco Districts experienced weaker demand for some categories of loans. Residential real estate markets stayed soft in most Districts, although many noted some signs of improvement. By contrast, commercial real estate markets weakened further in recent months in two-thirds of the Districts and remained slow in the others. Districts reported varied—but generally modest—price changes across sectors and products, with competitive pressures damping increases; however, Boston, Cleveland, Chicago, Minneapolis, and Dallas noted that some metals prices have increased in recent months. Most Districts indicated that labor markets were extremely soft, with minimal wage pressures, and cited the use of various methods of reducing compensation in addition to, or instead of, freezing or cutting wages.
