Täna on turu jaoks omajagu olulisi sündmusi. Kell 15.30 Eesti aja järgi tuleb esmaste töötu abiraha taotlejate näit (ootus 0.65 mln vs eelmise nädala 0.667 mln). Kell 15.30 algab ka Euroopa Keskpanga intressimäära otsuse järgne pressikonverents, mida saab kuulata siit. Nii ECB'lt kui BoE'lt oodatakse täna 50 bipslilist langetust.
Hoolimata sellest, et paljuloodetud majanduse abipaketi suurendamist Hiinas ei tulnud, oli peaministri julgustav kõne sedavõrd piisav, et kohalik aktsiaturg suutis eilse 6%lise ralli järel ka täna plusspoolel lõpetada. Ameerika eelturu futuurid niivõrd rõõmustavad ei ole ning sealt vaatab vastu üle protsendiline miinus - S&P500 on langenud 700 punkti peale.
AS-i Arco Vara aktsiaga toimunud olulise hinnaliikumise tõttu langetatakse täna
alates kella 14:20 AS-i Arco Vara aktsia alumist võrdluslimiiti seniselt
-15%-lt -25%-le. Seega on uuteks võrdluslimiitideks -25% ja +15% ning need
kehtivad kuni tänase börsipäeva lõpuni.
Võrdluslimiit on protsentuaalne määr, mille piires võib tehingutellimuse ning
määratud vastaspoolega tehingu hind erineda võrdlushinnast. AS-i Arco Vara
aktsia võrdlushinnaks on 0,11 eurot. Alumiseks võrdluslimiidiks enne muudatust
on 0,10 eurot ja pärast muudatust 0,09 eurot ning ülemiseks võrdluslimiidiks on
endiselt 0,12 eurot.
Initial Claims 639K vs 650K consensus, prior revised to 670K from 667K
-3.2% kuni -2.2% in 2009
-0.7% kuni +0.7% in 2010
Järgnes lühike ja konkreetne vastus. Olemasolevaid reegleid muutma ei hakata ja jäädakse tänase seadusraamistiku juurde - ehk kui mõni riik on väga nõrgas seisus, siis kiirkorras seda euro-ala riikide hulka ei võeta. Julgustavat/toetavat sõnavõttu ei tulnud.
USA alustab päeva saranselt Euroopale korralikus miinuses. S&P500 futuur -2% @ 694 punkti, Nasdaq100 -0.7% @ 1093 punkti ning nafta -2.65 @ 44.2 barrelist.

"A constant struggle, a ceaseless battle to bring success from inhospitable surroundings, is the price of all great achievements."
-- Orison Swett Marden
After a one-day bounce in a tremendously oversold market, we are poised to gap right back down again to start the day. The problem is that we just can't seem to fully come to grips with our tremendous economic problems. We all know things are bad, but the market has not been able to fully discount them.
As an ongoing concern, this morning we have news that the auditors of General Motors (GM) say that the automaker may not be able to continue. Morningstar is saying that Citigroup (C) , Bank of America (BAC) , State Street (STT) , PNC Financial (PNC) , SunTrust (STI) , Fifth Third (FITB) and KeyCorp (KEY) are likely to fail the governmental stress tests for banks.
It was the banks and General Electric (GE) that held back the market bounce yesterday. There was quite a bit of strong action in semiconductors, energy and commodity-related names, but without financials, the bounce fizzled badly in the last few minutes of trading. The financials are the big drag again this morning and are causing the gap down.
There was quite a bit of hubbub yesterday over a prediction that the market is close to its lows for the year. I sure hope that is the case, but there is no way that the market action allows me to embrace that idea at this time. At the moment, we can't even hold on to the rather tame bounce we had yesterday. If that is the best sign we have that a bottom is in, then we are in trouble.
What I really dislike about the constant bottom calls is that they help to produce the cycle of hope and disappointment that is so painful in a bear market. If you constantly are looking for lows and are consistently disappointed, it creates despair and misery. Emotionally, it is far better to stay cautious and slow to embrace the idea that the worst is over.
As I mentioned in my closing post yesterday, I was optimistic that we may have a bit more upside to come. The poor open we are facing this morning certainly doesn't help in that regard but is typical during a bear market, which is why I'm very slow to trust the idea that the market has made a meaningful turn.
Our big problem remains what it has been for some time now. We have no clarity when it comes to the bank problems. Geithner's bank bailout plans are confusing and incomplete, and investors have little confidence that the stimulus and mortgage plans are going to help us.
So what do we do? Don't get excited over sensationalist calls over major market turns. When the market is better, we will have plenty of opportunities to profit. The key right now is to stay patient, maybe do some very short-term trading, but to remain focused on protecting capital.
You aren't going to find a market much tougher than this, but out of ceaseless battle to protect and grow our capital will eventually come success. Stay tough.
