China's May Car Sales Gain on Discounts, New Models June 7 (Bloomberg) -- China's passenger car sales rose 23 percent last month, the fastest pace in the past three months, as price cuts and new models attracted more people to showrooms.
Sales of passenger cars, including multipurpose vehicles and sport-utility vehicles, rose to 488,500 units in May, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers said in an e-mailed statement today.
Hyundai Motor Co., Toyota Motor Corp. and other automakers are offering discounts while expanding production to help attract consumers in a market where 16 vehicles are sold every minute. China's total vehicle sales may rise more than 15 percent to 8.35 million units this year, according to the association.

Japanese Government Notes Slide; Yield at Highest Since 2000 June 8 (Bloomberg) -- Japan's government notes slid, pushing five-year yields to the highest since they were first sold in 2000, after U.S. Treasuries had the biggest drop in more than three years on concern global interest rates will rise.
Yields on Japan's five-year notes have climbed more than a third of a percentage point in the past three months. The yield premium of five-year U.S. notes over similar-dated Japanese debt widened over the same period on signs of strength in the world's biggest economy.

Indian Bonds Advance as Yields at 3-Week High Attract Investors June 7 (Bloomberg) -- Indian government bonds snapped three days of losses on speculation yields at the highest in almost three weeks lured investors back to debt as inflation slows.
The rate at which banks lend to each other stayed below 1 percent this week before rising to 3 percent today, suggesting funds in the banking system are ample. Bonds fell earlier this week on concern lenders would be left with less cash to invest in debt after the central bank and the federal government sold as much as 205 billion rupees ($5.04 billion) of bonds.

Bank of England Keeps Rate at Six-Year High June 7 (Bloomberg) -- The Bank of England left its benchmark interest rate unchanged at a six-year high, giving four previous increases time to slow inflation.
The nine-member Monetary Policy Committee, led by Governor Mervyn King, kept the Bank Rate at 5.5 percent today, as predicted by 58 of 62 economists in a Bloomberg News survey. The rest predicted a quarter-point increase.

A distinctly bearish day. Dippers turned up but weren't
quite as enthusiastic as yesterday. All Ords finished the day -1.3% and Energy fell the most, -2.1% with Telecomms and Healthcare sharing 2nd place, -1.6%. Consumer Staples saw the least damage, -0.5%.
Miners all down to varying degrees: BHP -0.2%, RIO -1.6% and in the golds, Newcrest -1.1% and Newmont -2.9%.
The oils got a hammering: Woodside -2.1% and Santos -1.6%.
Asia sank like a stone: Nikkers, Singers and Sth Korea all -1.5% with Honkers -1.4%. China the only one with a tinge of green, +0.6%.

Owner of the Boston Red Sox, John Henry was a farmer before he made billions playing agricultural futures. This guy is as sharp as they come, keen on the fundamentals and savvy on the technicals.
Even he has taken a beating. Offers some understanding for a lot of us, incl. shorty and bung. Excluding windy (congrats).

Henry had disastrous back-to-back years in 2005 and 2006 and his magic touch seems to have deserted him.

This isn't your pop's market anymore.

Now seriously, the only way to lose money since 2005 is by being bearish.
I guess the best strategy is long and strong until a blow-off top comes alongIf it breaks down to 7000 does it qualify as a blow-off top?

Any Similarity is Absolutely Coincidental
DAX double'O top:
[attachmentid=84263]
Current action:
[attachmentid=84264]
LT view of '00 top:
[attachmentid=84265]
So a bounce into OPEX making a lower high would make it almost picture perfect for bears.
Of course % wise there is no similarity. In the '00 top the DAX went up 60% in little more than 4 months. This time the 60% move started in September '05. Probably can't call it a "blow-off"

10y yield log chart:

the line in the sand is around 53.5
This line has been support/resistance in the following years:
1966!
1968
1971
1993
1995
1998
2001
2002
2007?
After this a cool 7% seems to be significant
Regarding the breakout of the DTL
It happened in the '00 top (broke out in Dec 99 and topped in Jan '00, lower high in May)
Broke out again in early '06 but bears got screwed anyway when the yield reverted trusters in June.

From Tape Talk Live:
The drains to the system over the last seven trading days ($15B by the Fed and $42B in net borrowing by Treasury) have had their affects on the markets. BUT, last nights Fed funds rate averaged right on target at 5.25% and have only exceeded target by a couple of basis points once in those same seven days.
The Fed's quandary......
Do they liquefy the system?
We have $6B in expiring Fed repo's this morning. Friday is a traditional drain day and the TNX is gyrating wildly....
This is certainly a day to watch what the Fed does.

Try2win,
I've noticed you've been buying since Thursday...are you basing it on sentiments or technicals? If it's on technicals we are getting sell signals all over the place. I'll be very carefull here.

It's a Green Day Opening
Pre-opening volume is nicely shaping up to the upside on most stuff I look at except miners. Integrated oils and tech should have a good day. There are definitely more eager buyers than sellers.
Last night, I watched Mad Money and Fast Money on Crapvision® and all the Wall Street shills were advising viewers to be very careful AND not to buy any bounces, just yet----right
In my opinion, if this is a longer term correction, the market should finish up today and next week.

Cramer to sell at the open if we gap up and buy the open if we have a 100 point gap down. How often is he right again?

What I find amusing is that the Ponzineers are trying to calm J6P by telling him that the economy is strong which I guess is meant to suggest that the market will return to its ever-increasing ways.
When in fact, a strong economy could be the death blow to this market because of the higher interest rates that should ensue.
It the interest rates stupid!
