Na boa.
Faz-e lembrar a noite de ontem e a de Hoje.

Mas se as bolsas recuperarem como espero, não caio noutra, lição aprendida.

A esta hora estão chinocas e japonas de pijama a olhar para o PSI e para o Caldeirão, a tentar imaginar como lhe vai correr o dia a eles...ramelosos, ensonados e a resmungar que nós escrevemos duma maneira que ninguém percebe
Esta descrição faz-te lembrar alguma coisa?

Japonas! O PSI não fecha para almoço! Aprendam!

(estou a brincar contigo, ok? não leves a mal)

Com as pracas dos USA claramente verdes a meio da seesão impõe-se uma pergunta.
Como é que estão os uturos Chinese e Japoneses.
Acho que agora tudo vai depeder de como correrem as coisas nessas praças.

[oráculo de belinho]

Depois de um começo a subir pouco convincente já esteve a cair 0,43%. Também ainda não é uma queda convincente mas poderá pressionar a europa até final da sessão. Como já tive as minhas mais valias aproveitando as quedas matinais e a recuperação que se seguiu fechei as duas posições que tinha comprado de manhã.

Espero melhores ventos para regressar ao combate

fut asiáticos? who cares? os shangais bicudos lá cortaram a sangria e fecharam a subir 4%... provavelmente por isso a europa não reagiu àquela queda toda dos states

Alguem sabe como estão os futuros Asiaticos?
Principalmente os Japoneses e os chineses. Penso que seria importante.
Obrigado

Estão a dormir!!!!

Lá é o meio da madrugada!!!

E eles não são malucos como certos caldeireiros que passaram a noite agarrados ao Caldeirão, á TV e a ver sites em chinês...

P.S. Para aqueles que, como eu, estão com a sensação que não dormiram nada, vai a minha solidariedade

Feb. 28 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. stock-index futures rose a day after the biggest plunge in the country's equity market in four years, as strategists advised investors not to sell shares given prospects for economic and earnings growth.

Merck & Co. advanced after the third-largest U.S. maker of prescription drugs raised its profit forecast. Boeing Co. gained after JPMorgan upgraded shares of the world's second-biggest commercial planemaker.

Chinese stocks rebounded today after a selloff in that market yesterday triggered a global tumble in equities, while most Asian and European markets fell a second day. Strategists at UBS AG, JPMorgan and Citigroup Investment Research today recommended that investors keep their equity holdings, saying that the outlook for the global economy hasn't worsened.

``People are poking around amidst the rubble of yesterday's market collapse, looking for good things to buy,'' said John Carey, who manages about $12 billion at Pioneer Investment Management in Boston. ``The consumer economy here in the U.S. is still pretty strong. The longer-term picture continues to be encouraging.''

Standard & Poor's 500 Index futures expiring in March gained 10 to 1405.3 as of 8:21 a.m. in New York. Dow Jones Industrial Average futures jumped 70 to 12,250 and Nasdaq-100 Index futures rallied 14.50 to 1765.

``Following a long, correction-free rally in equity markets, the move appears more technical than fundamental,'' wrote Darren Read and Larry Hatheway of UBS's global asset allocation team in a report distributed today. ``We use this opportunity to add to our equity overweight.''

GDP Report

U.S. stock futures rose before the release of a government report that probably supports the Federal Reserve's forecast that economic expansion will continue at a moderate pace.

Gross domestic product rose at an annual rate of 2.3 percent last quarter, compared with the 3.5 percent pace the Commerce Department reported last month, according to the median forecast in a Bloomberg News survey of economists.

Consumer spending, which accounts for about 70 percent of the economy, probably rose at an annual rate of 4.2 percent, based on economists' forecasts. The figures are due at 8:30 a.m. New York time.

Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke will testify before the House Budget Committee on long-term fiscal challenges and the U.S. economy at 10 a.m. in Washington.

Merck, Boeing

Merck added $1.32 to $44.50. The company raised its forecast for the year to $2.55 to $2.65 and said it expects to report adjusted earnings per share in the first quarter of 63 cents to 67 cents.

Boeing added 40 cents to $87.60. JPMorgan raised its recommendation on the stock to ``neutral'' from ``underweight.''

``The stock has underperformed other commercial aerospace stocks and our universe as a whole recently and its valuation is therefore now more attractive on a relative basis,'' analysts including Joseph B. Nadol III wrote in a note.

The credit rating for U.S. Steel Corp., the biggest U.S.- based producer of the metal, was raised to investment grade from junk by Moody's Investors Service, which cited improved profit and reduced debt. The stock didn't trade in Europe.

Autodesk Inc. fell $1.75, or 4.3 percent, to $39.05 in trading after the official close of U.S. exchanges. The company, whose design software is used in architecture, engineering and movie-making, said it will restate earnings to add expenses from backdated stock-option grants. First-quarter sales will total $490 million to $500 million, the company forecast.

Analysts had estimated revenue of $501 million, according to the median estimate compiled by Bloomberg. The stock didn't trade in Europe.

Home Depot

Home Depot Inc., the world's largest home-improvement retailer, said sales growth will slow this year as the housing market remains in a slump for at least six more months. The stock slipped 2 cents to $39.80 in Germany.

The Commerce Department may also say sales of new homes in January dropped 3.6 percent from the previous month to an annual pace of 1.08 million. The report is due at 10 a.m. New York time.

New York Fed Bank President Tim Geithner speaks on ``Developments in the Financial System and Their Implications'' at the Global Association of Risk Professionals' risk management convention. The speech is set to begin at 8:50 a.m. in New York.

ECONOMIC REPORT: GDP revised down to 2.2%; Core inflation rate revised lower to 1.9% in fourth quarter
By Rex Nutting, MarketWatch Last Update: 8:30 AM ET Feb 28, 2007

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) - The U.S. economy has grown less than 3% for three quarters in a row, government data show, after a significant downward revision to fourth-quarter estimates.
The economy grew at a real annual rate of 2.2% in the three months ending in December, not at the 3.5% rate reported last month, the Commerce Department said Wednesday.
Real gross domestic product has grown 3.1% over the past four quarters and grew 3.3% in 2006 compared with all of 2005. The economy grew 2% in the third quarter.
Over time, growth below the economy's potential of about 3% should reduce capacity restraints in the economy that could fuel inflation. The unemployment rate has moved marginally higher, but is still relatively low at 4.6%. Industrial capacity utilization rates have fallen as the factory sector slowed.
At the same time, core inflation came in lower than projected a month ago.
Core inflation, as measured by the personal consumption expenditure price index excluding food and energy, rose 1.9% annualized in the quarter, revised down from 2.1%. In the past year, the core PCE price index has risen 2.2%, revised down from 2.3% reported last month.
The Fed has an implied target of about 1% to 2% for core inflation.
So far, the Federal Reserve has not budged from its stance that faster inflation is a greater risk to stability than slower growth. The Federal Open Market Committee is expected to keep overnight interest rates at 5.25% at its meeting late next month.
However, after Tuesday's market crash and sluggish figures on durable-goods orders, financial markets are now expecting the Fed to cut rates by mid-year.
The median forecast of economists surveyed by MarketWatch expected a large revision in GDP down to 2%.
It was the largest revision between the first and second estimates of GDP in nine years. Such large revisions have occurred only seven times in the past 30 years, the government said.
The main source of the revision was lower inventory building. Consumer spending was also lower than originally reported. Imports grew faster.

Details
As in the first estimate, consumer spending was the main driver of the economy, rising 4.2%, revised from 4.4%. Spending on durable goods increased 4.4%, spending on nondurable goods increased 6% and spending on services increased 3.2%. Consumer spending added 2.9 percentage points to growth.
Investments in homes and businesses declined sharply in the quarter. Business investments dropped 2.4%, revised from a 0.4% decline. Investments in equipment and software fell 3.2%. Investments in structures dropped 0.8%.
Preliminary data released Tuesday show capital spending fell further in January.
Investments in housing fell 19.2% in the fourth quarter, the largest decline since 1991.
All told, fixed investments subtracted 1.4 percentage points from growth.
Inventories subtracted 1.35 percentage points from growth, revised from 0.71 percentage points estimated a month ago.
Imports fell 2.2%, while exports grew 10.5%. Net imports added 1.5 percentage points to growth, the biggest contribution in 10 years.
Government spending rose 3.3%, contributing 0.6 percentage points to GDP.
In current dollar terms, the economy grew 3.9% to an annual rate of $13.45 trillion.

Income revisions
The government also revised its estimates of personal income growth in the third and fourth quarters, based on more complete data from state governments. Total income was revised lower by a cumulative $28 billion to $11.07 trillion. Real personal disposable incomes grew 3.2% in the third quarter and 5.3% in the fourth quarter.
The revisions also show a $134.2 billion accrual of compensation earned in the fourth quarter than was to be paid in the first quarter, such as bonuses and gains on stock options.
