Overseas markets are painting a bleak picture this morning, as all
the markets that we track are drowning in a sea of red. The FTSE
recorded a five week low, dragged down by telecom and utility
sectors. The old market manipulator - crude oil prices contributed
to the pullback. The Hang Seng is down 0.10% with the computer
company Lenovo headed south as investors did not take kindly to its
plans to acquire IBM's PC business. The U.S. Dollar Index gained
0.66 points during U.S. trading yesterday. The dollar's bounce
against commodity-linked currencies sent the greenback higher
against all of its major rivals. The dollar was last quoted at
104.04 yen, up 1.1 percent. One euro cost $1.3333, 0.7 percent less
than it cost the day before. Nevertheless, there are still many key
risk factors regarding the fate of the U.S. currency. Record trade
deficits are acting to diminish foreign confidence in the ability
of the U.S. to repay its credit. Foreigners have been acting to
fund the U.S. trade imbalance for quite some time now, and they are
beginning to tire of the practice. Be prepared for the investing

OPPORTUNITIES After watching helplessly for months while crude oil
prices raced to around $56 per barrel in October, the oil market
seems to have stabilized. Amid speculation that OPEC will lower its
official production quota of 27 million barrels per day (a 25-year
high) at a meeting on Friday, Saudi oil minister Ali al-Naimi moved
swiftly to reassure the market on Wednesday. Al-Naimi stated that
as long as current strong demand for oil exists, his country will
continue pumping at the 9.5 million barrels per day pace it has
maintained since August. Quoted on CNN, al-Naimi declared: "The
winter is coming ... so why should we do anything?" Why indeed? His
statement cheered the market and sent crude prices down to $40.55 -
the lowest since July. That means in just over a week, crude prices
have sunk by $9 per barrel (18%). But what do production limits
mean to OPEC anyway? Yes, the official limit is currently 27
million barrels per day (bpd), but the cartel is pumping about one
million bpd more than that. Most of the excess comes from Saudi
Arabia, as it's the only country with any spare production
capacity. Another issue up for discussion is the seemingly
redundant oil price band. For the past year, crude prices have
consistently traded above OPEC's $22-28 per barrel target price.
Speculation was rife that the cartel would increase the band back
in September, but it decided to leave it alone - a decision that
puzzled many. Now, Iran and Venezuela are among those calling for
an increase this time around. Receive incisive economic/market
