home this week...

[callmeslick]

but, not a vacation. Still, I had a bit of free time this morning and heard the following in short succession after the NYSE opened for the day:

1. Jobless claims for the week were the lowest since mid-2008
2. employer plans for layoffs are at 6 year low
3. Auto sales and home sales are at 6 year highs.
4. Consumer confidence made a slight rise(see above)

recent trends? Not really. Every one of these has been steadily progessing in a positive manner for several years. Can't wait to see you all assess the 'blame'.

what you're seeing Fats, in a way, is the strength of your domestic economy. Money was absolutely flowing into Aussie markets(including the money market) when things got shakiest here in the States and then in Europe. You have a bit of a cooling-off now, but not much to fear down Under.

MISS: JUST 162K JOBS ADDED, RATE FALLS TO 7.4 PCT.

The Labor Department said Friday that unemployment fell from 7.6 percent in June as more Americans found jobs.

Still, the economy created 26,000 fewer jobs in May and June than previously estimated. Americans worked fewer hours in July, and their pay dipped. The figures suggest weak economic growth may be making businesses cautious about hiring.

Reaction to the jobs report on financial markets was slightly negative. Stock index futures gave up early gains and were little changed shortly after the report came out. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note fell to 2.64 percent from 2.71 percent as investors bought U.S. government bonds.
