Wednesday Outlook: Sectors and International
-
Font Size:

With rising commodity prices and a sense that things are different [as in “better”] in BRIC countries, some rallied off support we’ve been outlining. Decoupling? Not a chance.
The Fed injected another $15.25 billion Tuesday in repos with $10 billion the 3 day variety. So with nearly $40 billion last week they’re keeping the banksters well-lubed to meet their needs.
Could an emergency interest rate cut also be in the cards as a Thanksgiving surprise present? It seems unlikely, but then what tools beyond all the cash injections do they have? If that happened, markets could rally sharply on a short-term basis, squeezing shorts and boosting confidence temporarily.
They might just do it, but it might backfire as well.
Barring any crazy developments we won’t be blogging tomorrow. Have a great Thanksgiving.
