The Greek's Week Ahead - ECB on the Radar
The Greek's Week Ahead has been engineered to prepare you for the events that could impact your portfolio this week.
After a tiring week on Wall Street that included an exhaustive supply of information to keep traders on their toes, the week ahead is focused on earnings news and a duo of important central bank decisions overseas. The market had a full plate to digest last week, including: a fourth quarter GDP report showing economic growth of just 0.6%; the first decrease in monthly employment in four years; a Federal Reserve action to cut interest rates another half of a percentage point; and Microsoft’s acquisition bid for Yahoo! ( The Dow Industrials climbed 4.4% on the week, while the S&P 500 rose 4.9% and Nasdaq increased 3.8%. Small cap stocks led the way as the sector recovered some from a horrible start to the year. The S&P Small Cap 600 Index soared 6.8%, while the Russell 2000 index moved 6.1% higher. Overseas, European markets mostly moved higher, while Asia defied the trend, with most major markets in the red. The Shanghai B Shares fell 7.9% on the week and were down 19% on the year. We've warned in the past of the risk in the mainland Chinese market tied to the pervasive participation of unsophisticated investors and bulging bubble like profits that could be taken in a hurry. Hong Kong's Hang Seng was down a much more contained 4.0% on the week. Capital continued to flow out of equity funds as panicked American 401K holders raced like lemmings for the cliff even as the market rose. Some would argue these investors are wisely selling a bear market rally. While we expect this rally to eventually run dry, we think it still has some legs to it. The Play By Play The Federal Reserve followed up its three-quarter point emergency action of a week before, with another cut of a half of a percentage point at its regular meeting on the 28-29th. This action illustrated the seriousness of the economic situation, but was also reassuring to the financial markets. The often-criticized Federal Reserve proved that it would be supportive to economic well being going forward. This, and the support of the federal government, is the underlying driver of stock market rally now. More distressing news came from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Employment Situation Report for the month of January. It showed a decrease in nonfarm payrolls of 17,000, the first such decline in four years. WallStreetGreek.com believes this week’s economic news strengthens the argument that the U.S. economy is already in recession in the first quarter of 2008. It’s important to realize that the stock market is a leading economic indicator, and rose this week in anticipation of the mitigating impact of Federal Reserve and government action. At the same time, economic data should continue to weaken, leading to volatility in equities. In corporate news this past week, Google ( This Week The week ahead includes further important economic reports, two critical foreign central bank meetings and plenty of corporate earnings reports. After last week’s disappointing employment report, Monday’s Challenger Job-Cut Report portends to show an increase in planned layoffs. Last week’s employment data showed most of the job losses came from manufacturing and construction. Yet, January’s ISM Manufacturing Survey offered a positive surprise with an expansionary reading of 50.7. This week’s ISM Nonmanufacturing Survey, which is scheduled for Tuesday release, will offer some further insight into how the services sector is holding up. Remember, the services sector dominates American productivity and drives our economy. On Thursday, most retailers will report same-store sales for the month of January. We’re not expecting strong performance as anecdotal evidence has offered signs of weakness. Target ( On Thursday, the Bank of England and European Central Bank are both scheduled to make announcements on regional interest rates. In America, it’s hoped that the ECB would follow suit with the U.S. in lowering rates. However, economic decline is not as evident yet in the euro zone. Since the U.S. represents Europe’s second biggest export market, economists are paying close attention. If the ECB keeps rates steady, the dollar could weaken further, and eventually U.S. treasury securities could lose foreign interest. There’s concern that this could later drive inflation in America. Last week, European inflation was reported increased to 3.2%, the highest in 14 years, and ECB bankers are on record expressing concern. Thus, if the ECB keeps rates steady next week, it would not be a great surprise, but still hurt U.S. securities. The week’s earnings reports will be headlined by news from: Monday - Archer Daniels Midland ( Tuesday – Chicago Mercantile Exchange ( Wednesday – Akamai Technologies ( Thursday – Activision ( Friday – Alcatel-Lucent ( This list represents only a small portion of the companies reporting earnings this week.

The Greek's Week Ahead - The Fed is on the Clock
The Greek's Week Ahead has been engineered to prepare you for events that could impact your portfolio this week.
-
Wall Street Greek
Last week's activity offered the epitome of volatility, with huge fluctuations in direction commonplace, especially within the first and last half hours of trading. The market seemed unsure as to which direction to take, moving on new bits of concerning news flow ( as we warned here that it could in last week's copy ). Three bombs in particular barraged the market: the solvency warning from American Home Mortgage ( Alas, undeniably, Monday brings a new day, though also a week's worth of potential minefield, depending on your outlook. The pessimist will surely be looking for the next lender, builder or insurer failure. Speaking of insurers, did you see Barron's frightening piece on ACA Capital ( Optimists, on the other hand, will be looking on with glossy eyes and hopeful smiles toward Tuesday's Federal Open Market Committee announcement. In times like these, Alan Greenspan’s Fed could usually be counted on to come to the rescue, but there's some debate as to how Mr. Bernanke's group will react. It seems certain they will address the critical topic of credit markets and liquidity. Many are hopeful that assertive commentary from the Fed and assurance that the overseer will be there if necessary, would be enough to settle shaky hands. After all, despite its focus on inflation and view that the subprime issue was contained, the group has indicated that economic growth, housing and credit issues would be closely watched for change. It's implied there that, "like a bridge over troubled waters, they will guide us through"; let's just hope that bridge was built recently and properly inspected. Implication aside, last week, two Fed governors contradicted each other with credit market related statements, but we'll take comfort in the fact that the last word was one of reassurance. It's about time we take a closer look at the week ahead... Monday is economic news light, so barring any early morning AHM type slam, and there's no guarantee of this, then the market should start to anticipate Tuesday's Fed statement. Again qualified by the absence of explosions in lending or anywhere else, we think the market will see inflows of capital in anticipation of good news from the Fed. We're not sure this matters to anyone but Canadians, and we hope our fans in the great white north know we love them, but the Canadian markets are closed on Monday. In the States, Monday's earnings report schedule includes A.C. Moore Arts & Crafts ( Tuesday brings the usual ICSC-UBS Weekly Same-Store Sales Report, and recent data indicates mall traffic is down. Last week's data showed a little bit of life though, as the group reported week-over-week growth of 1.1% and year-over-year growth of 3.2%. Internationally, South Korea is hosting a meeting of six nations to discuss energy aid for North Korea's nuclear compliance. At 8:30 a.m. EDT, second quarter productivity is slated for report. In Q1, productivity rose 1.0%, while unit labor costs increased 1.8%, quarter-over-quarter. Barron's reported MFR's expectation for productivity to increase 2.0% this time around. At 2:15 p.m., the highly anticipated and likely week defining event occurs, the FOMC releases its policy statement. Most expect the group to keep the Fed-funds target rate at 5.25%. A cut would help to ease credit concerns, and a firm statement that the Fed remains ready to act if necessary may do the same. Continued hawkish inflationary commentary would, however, not be helpful at this point. Later on Tuesday, June Consumer Credit is seen increasing by $5 billion, compared to $12.9 billion in May. There are a few ways to interpret consumer credit changes. An excessive or abnormal increase could be indicative of stretched consumers pushing it a bit more, while light growth could be construed as a result of tightening credit standards that could in turn impact consumer spending patterns. Or, if considered directly and simply, it would be an indicator of lower spending. For comparison purposes, the extremely cold month of April showed a consumer credit increase of just $2.6 billion. We provide earnings report data because we know a good deal of you are traders seeking the next catalyst. Tuesday presents an extremely heavy earnings schedule including Affordable Residential Communities ( The Mortgage Bankers Association reports its regular Purchase Index bright and early on Wednesday morning. Even as treasury yields decline, mortgage rates appear sure to rise further in light of the worsening environment. While banks are lending more carefully, demand for homes also suffers due to concern that prices could drop further. June Wholesale Inventories are set for report at 10:00 a.m., with expectation for a 0.4% rise, according to Bloomberg's consensus. At 10:30, the EIA Petroleum Status Report is due. We plan to write a piece on the sector, discussing the recent divergence of share and commodity prices. Overseas, the Bank of Australia is expected by many to raise rates Wednesday. Also, World Bank Head Robert Zoellick is set to meet with Asian ministers to discuss regional growth. General Motors ( Thursday starts with the Weekly Initial Jobless Claims Report. The measure has hovered close to 300,000 lately, or just a bit higher. However, we continue to expect jobless claims to rise only after the monthly Employment Situation Report reflects meaningful weakness in the labor market. Before businesses start firing, they stop hiring, plain and simply. Therefore, Friday's report may have ominously forecast a coming change in the trend for the weekly new benefits filings. We think so. We expect housing construction to begin to better reflect the realities of the situation. We suspect the data has been fogged by the employment and firing of many illegals by industry participants. We also expect more financial market, retail and consumer oriented businesses to increase layoffs in coming months. Retailers report chain store sales on Thursday, and recent data indicates mall traffic is down. For the most part, the weekly sales data from the ICSC has not been positive either. Retailers might provide some bad news on Thursday that could sour the taste the Fed serves up. Also notable, Thursday marks the deadline for companies to file their 10Qs with the SEC, so problematic news not presented in corporations' preliminary press releases could surface as a result. The EIA reports its weekly natural gas inventory on Thursday at 10:30. Markets in Singapore are closed, while Thursday's American earnings reports include 1-800 Contacts ( Friday will likely factor this week, as three economic news bits come to the fore. July import prices are set for report at 8:30. According to Barron's, Lehman Brothers anticipates a 1.0% rise due to higher petroleum prices. Excluding the impact, Lehman sees prices flat. The RBC Cash Index is due at 9:00 a.m. This is important, as the index measures consumer attitudes and spending. It considers the consumers' view on the economy, personal finance, savings and investment confidence. The metric has been on a general declining trend, reaching bottom just last month when it measured 76.1. Finally, the Federal Budget for July is set for report at 2:00 p.m. EDT. Consensus sees a deficit of $35 billion, according to Bloomberg. Friday's earnings reports include Aircastle LTD ( Receive Wall Street Greek via email by subscribing here .
