Hey! How is everybody now? doing some good trading I hope!!!
We finally got word on the Domestic Vehicle Sales for the USA. Looks like the production has fallen sharply below expectation here. At the forecast of 10.2 Million automobiles, we only see a cap of 9.7 Million. Quite depressing for the US economy…
For the Asian Market…
Japan will release their Monetary Base comparison to previous year in about two hours from now.
Australia will go through Building Approvals and Retail Sales a couple hours after Japan’s news. Both indices are Monthlies.
That is the big news until the European market where Jean Trichet Will Speak in Paris.
We will cover that and more in the European Market Report…
