Overseas markets are displaying weakness this morning as only 4 of
the 15 markets that we track are in the green. The Nikkei closed
firmly down but the other Asian markets closed with gains. European
indices were under pressure on news that police in Britain shot a
suspected terrorist. The September contract on sweet crude oil
dropped 89 cents yesterday, closing at the lowest level in a month.
Futures were driven lower by Wednesday's smaller-than-expected
decline in oil inventories, and the revalued yuan. The terrorist
scare in London did no favors for black gold, either, although some
analysts stated that there was no discernable reaction to the
latest "incidents." In early electronic trading, the September
crude contract was last seen up 47 cents at $57.60 per barrel. Be

OPPORTUNITIES Much to the surprise of the business world Thursday,
China finally decided to revalue its yuan currency for the first
time in a decade. The move came after sustained fierce pressure
from the US, Europe and others around the world, who had rightly
complained that China's cheap labor force and artificially low
currency was creating grossly unfair trade imbalances and swelling
deficits. However, although the 2.1% revaluation from 8.28 yuan to
the US dollar to 8.11 will obviously be somewhat appreciated, it's
essentially not much more than a token gesture, since the US had
called for a 10% revaluation and many feel the impact on trade
imbalances will be minimal at best. There appears to be no
immediate help for the US manufacturing or trade deficit.
Nevertheless, many economists and commentators feel that this is a
reasonable start that could spark more currency moves that will
eventually total a 10% revaluation. Within China, the move is
overwhelmingly popular. Domestic companies see this as boosting the
average Chinese consumer's buying power. Surprisingly, the US stock
market showed little reaction to the news, with bonds bearing a
significant amount of the negative activity amid traders' fears
that China won't have to buy as much in US Treasuries to control
the yuan. China holds US$243 billion in Treasuries. Clearly, the
bond market is not expecting China to start selling its Treasuries.
But even less buying could drive US interest rates higher. The
biggest loser so far is Japan. The yen soared on the news, as
traders anticipate that China will buy more yen. For the Japanese,
a stronger yen makes its exports to the US more expensive. And with
domestic demand in Japan still very weak, a drop in exports could
be damaging to its economy. The major question concerns how much
uncertainty the yuan revaluation will put into the markets. The
ripple effect has already boosted Chile's peso and has Brazil
talking about more exports to China. Read more analysis from the
