Here And Abroad

Posted: 13 Jun 2012 02:11 PM PDT

The latest Pew Global Attitudes Project global survey finds that America’s standing in the world has continued to deteriorate:

The Obama era has coincided with major changes in international perceptions of American power – especially U.S. economic power. The global financial crisis and the steady rise of China have led many to declare China the world's economic leader, and this trend is especially strong among some of America's major European allies. Today, solid majorities in Germany … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards

RBNZ Keeps Benchmark Rate At 2.5%

Posted: 13 Jun 2012 02:11 PM PDT

The Reserve Bank of New Zealand kept its benchmark Official Cash Rate (OCR) unchanged at 2.5 percent, as expected.
The central bank of New Zealand said the outlook for the country’s trading partners had worsened and it was monitoring the developments in the euro area carefully. Higher agricultural production and the weaker global economic outlook had driven down New Zealand’s export commodity prices, which would weigh on the country’s growth in the future.

Cusick’s Corner 06-12-2012
Today was a solid day for the bulls. The S&Ps finished at the highs, 1318 on the S&Ps, but we have a ton of headlines that could hit tomorrow. Jamie Dimon, JPM CEO, is slated to talk to the Senate which may overtake Judge Judy (the highest rated daytime show) tomorrow.

Hot Option Plays: Risk Still Off

Cusick’s Corner 06-13-2012
This is a market that has held up well in spite of mixed data and headlines every 30 seconds but there still is a sense of risk aversion at this stage. There is some interesting volume action in a few specific names — ZNGA is one of them today and a contrarian might say this is a potential capitulation by the bulls and might be an interesting point to look at the underlying.

Will The Senate Vote To End 200+ Years Of Protectionism For The U.S. Sugar Cartel? Not Today

Due to import quota restrictions that limit the amount of imported sugar coming into the U.S. at the much-lower world price, American sugar growers are protected from more efficient foreign sugar farmers who can produce cane sugar in Central America, Africa and the Caribbean at half the cost of beet sugar in Minnesota and Michigan. This sweet trade protection comes at the expense of American consumers and U.S. sugar-using businesses, who have been forced collectively to pay 29 cents per pound … [visit site to read more] or compare Credit Card Rewards and Best Credit Cards
