Eile USA turul +4,40% tõusnud ja peale seda järelturul Inteli mõjutusel -1,05% langenud Nokia on avanemas Helsingis 10 EUR tasemel, mis praeguse EUR/USD kursi järele tähendab hinda 12.16 USD ehk 0.05 USD madalamal kui eilne sulgemishind USA järelturul.
Kuid see, et Nokia praegu ka Inteli peale nullis on, näitab tugevust. Praegustel aktsionäridel veel müügiks vara, kuid need kellel aktsiaid veel pole - minu meelest pole hilja ka osta.
rate was little changed at 5.4 percent, the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
U.S. Department of Labor reported today. Over the month, job growth occurred

USA turud on suurte uudiste järel segaduses. tehnoloogiasektor avanes peale Inteli kehva kvartalivahekokkuvõtet vaid protsendi miinuses. Vana majandus on kergelt plussis.
Tööjõuraporti järgi loodi augustis 144 000 uut töökohta, mis on oodatust veidi vähem, kuid samas tõsteti varasematel kuudel loodud töökohtade arvu. Tööpuuduse määr langes 5,4 protsendile, mis on madalaim näitaja alates 2001. aasta oktoobrist. Üldhinnang raportile on turul positiivne. Seda kirjeladab võlakirjaturu reaktsioon, 10- aastase võlakirja intressimäär kerkis 4,2% kiiresti 4,25 protsendile.
Inteli (INTC) käive jääb selles kvartalis prognoosidele tunduvalt alla ning ka kasumimarginaali prognooside täitmisega on raskusi, aktsia avanes 7% miinuses 20 dollari all.
Rev Shark:
We have one of the most important economic reports of the year coming up at 8:30 a.m. EDT this morning. The August jobs report has the full attention of market participants this morning and is likely to produce a very sharp move in the market when it hits.
Expectations are for new jobs of 150,000, a 5.5% unemployment rate, 0.2% increase in earnings and an average work week of 33.7 hours. The 150,000 number is the key and there is a very wide range of views on how things will turn out.
A lot of folks like to think they have an edge when it comes to predicting how this report will turn out. They believe that if they take a number of facts and apply logic they will be able to predict it.
Don't fool yourself. Betting the jobs data this morning is a straight-out gamble. You may get lucky and be on the right side but don't make the mistake of thinking that it was due to predictive skills rather than just blind luck. The jobs report is a slot machine. You pull the handle and take your chances.
The situation is even more complicated after the abysmal midquarter update from Intel (INTC:Nasdaq). The company disappointed in every key area and surprised many of the already pessimistic analysts. As might be expected there is fallout in the chip sector this morning and Prudential has downgraded the group to unfavorable from neutral.
Can a good jobs report offset the poor Intel update? Probably but there is going to be some fallout in technology stocks regardless of a good jobs report. There are obviously some issues in this sector that are not solely a function of increased employment.
Overseas markets are lower overnight in reaction to Intel. Oil is holding steady at a little over $44 a barrel. Futures are down sharply but will be shaken up when the jobs report hits.
I'm going to put on my trading goggles and fortify myself with an extra cup of coffee. Good luck and go get 'em.
