China Has $15.3 Bln Trade Surplus, 2nd-Biggest Ever
Oct. 12 (Bloomberg) -- China reported its second-largest ever trade surplus, undermining efforts by the government to cool an investment boom.
The gap narrowed to $15.3 billion last month from a record $18.8 billion in August, the Beijing-based customs bureau said today on its Web site. For the first nine months, China's trade surplus reached $110 billion, exceeding last year's total.
Premier Wen Jiabao calls the soaring surplus one of China's biggest economic ``problems'' because it's strained trade ties with the U.S. and Europe and flooded the economy with cash, complicating his efforts to slow investment. The gap is adding pressure on China to let its currency gain faster to stem money inflows and avoid trade sanctions.

Australian Employment Gains 31,400 in September
Oct. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Australian employers hired six times as many workers as expected in September and the jobless rate held at a 30-year low. The nation's currency rose and bonds fell as traders bet the central bank will raise interest rates again this year.
Employment increased 31,500 after gaining a revised 23,100 in August. The jobless rate was 4.8 percent as employment rose for the 11th straight month, the Bureau of Statistics said today in Sydney.
The economy has created 258,000 jobs this year, worsening a shortage of skilled workers. That's fueled wage increases and prompted central bank Governor Glenn Stevens to say yesterday he is more likely to raise interest rates than cut them. The government today announced A$837 million ($625 million) of subsidies to train unskilled workers.

"U.S interest rates rose just after 2:00 PM when meeting minutes to the last FOMC meeting were released. The minutes revealed that the Federal Reserve may not be “done” raising the Fed Fund rate after all. Reaction in the bond market was immediate given that the market already was anticipating at least two 0.25% reductions in the Fed Fund rate by the first quarter of 2007. Bond prices fell again. The down trend for 10 year U.S. treasury yields was broken.
At best, FOMC meeting minutes released yesterday have placed a short term cap on U.S. equity indices and bond prices."

Well, looks like today's action gives us a short term top with a one-way trip to a recent support level about to happen. All Ords closed -0.4% with only two sectors finishing the day green, Materials and Financials both +0.2%. Out of the numerous reds, Property Trusts closed down the most, -2.1%.
Miners didn't do too well: BHP -0.1% and RIO -0.3% and the golds closed mixed.
Oils did a plummet: Woodside and Santos both -1.9%.
Over in Asia the action was an each-way bet ranging from India +1% to China -0.4%.

HARARE (Reuters) - Zimbabwe's central bank governor on Monday raised the country's main lending rate by 200 percentage points to 500 percent in a drive against skyrocketing inflation and a severe economic crisis.
Central bank governor Gideon Gono also said Zimbabwe's major financial houses -- commercial and merchant banks, building societies and discount houses -- had met a September 30 deadline giving them nearly a year to raise their capitalisation to $10 million.

Most of these guys also believe that 2007 will be a huge up year like 1995. If the economy is "perfect" now, I guess they're assuming it will be more perfect next year.

Meeting participants noted that consumer spending going forward would be supported by the higher levels of personal income indicated by recent revisions to the national income and product accounts, by further gains in employment, and by the decline in consumer energy prices over recent months
Participants took note of the jump in labor compensation in the first half of the year, but commented that the increase likely reflected in part the exercise of stock options.
However, considerable uncertainty was expressed regarding the ultimate extent of the downturn in the housing sector and the degree to which the slowing in housing activity and the deceleration in home prices would affect consumption and other expenditures going forward

He so funny.
Krammer looks at the chart, sees the bubblers going up...ergo, the bottom is in.
Seems to confuse technicals with funnymentals.
Even the most hard-core bubbler bear could see that 185ish on the HGX was a likely i/t bottom, especially with the broader market in bottoming formation as well.
Bubblers could easily rise another 5-10% (to HGX 230-240 or even 248) without changing the bearish config on the chart.
If bubblers get above that zone and continue rising in a constructive manner, Krammer may be on to something. But unless/until that happens, have to assume we are seeing a mean-revert, dead-cat bounce that will take the bubblers back to 185 or lower at some point in the future.
The first HGX rally off the 8/05 top lasted three months and the index hung in there for another three months before the next leg down. So far, the current rally has lasted exactly three months. So if past is prologue, we could see a near-term bubbler top with the next leg down to come sometime after Jan 07.
Waaaay too early to call a bottom on the bubblers. And with Krammer's track record of picking bottoms, have a feeling he's dead-wrong here as per usual. But it may not become obvious for another 3-6 months.

Interesting juncture for the techsters.
Using SWH, XLK and IXCO as my clues, could see a s/t top any minute now. SWH is at its channel top. XLK just tagged its 2006 high. IXCO back to its early 2004 high.
These levels should not stop the tech rally, just pause it perhaps. SWH and XLK much stronger than IXCO (still 5% below its 2006 high). Bigcrappers rule right now.
Ultimately, super-important i/t and l/t targets likely await for these bellwethers:
XLK: 24.75-25.54 (+9.7% to +12%), 28.28 (+25%)
SWH: 43.24-43.60 (+9%), 50-51 (+28%)
IXCO: 1070 (+5%), 1104-1150 (+8.5% to +13%)
Don't know when the first of these levels get hit. Maybe in the 4Q or maybe in 1Q07. But I believe the lower end will get hit and will very possibly represent a major tech top of i/t or l/t proportion.
This means that the bigcraptechsters should have b/w 8.5%-12% more to go before brick-walling. This would probably put the Nadsaq at 2486-2580, the NDX at 45-47, and the SPX at 1420-1450.
Anicipate a min 15-20% selloff to follow once these levels are achieved.
