Morgen sollten wir recht früh am Tisch sein.

Greetz f-h  

war ja ein harter Tag heute, Amis haben es ja noch einigermaßen erträglich gemacht.
Was meinst du für morgen? Ich denke wir holen nur kurz das Plus von den Amis auf und dann gehts wieder runter.

noch für eine Tageszusammenfassung des WSJ interessiert. (Stört jetzt nicht mehr - platzmässig) Paar kleine Aufmunterungen für die Callingers aber dann kommt leider wieder das budget deficit der Regierung ins Spiel.

                 THE AFTERNOON REPORT
                 By JOSEPH SCHUMAN

     Rising Big-Ticket Orders Hint
     At a Manufacturing Recovery

     The second consecutive monthly rise in sales of durable goods and an
     uptick in consumer optimism, both reported today, are encouraging bits of
     news for the U.S. economy, as far as they go.
     The Commerce Department said new orders for appliances, cars and other
     goods meant to last at least three years rose 1%, or $1.7 billion, to $174
     billion, following a 2.6% rise in June. This was the first significant
     back-to-back monthly increase since 2001, and was accompanied by a surge
     in shipments and by a decrease in manufacturers' inventories of durable
     goods, the 29th drop in inventories in the past 30 months. We already know
     that retail sales also rose in July, and today's report may mean the
     emptying store shelves are finally having an effect on factory floors.
     Manufacturing has suffered more than any other area of the U.S. economy,
     and today's report adds to other recent evidence that the sector is
     turning around.
     Separately, the Conference Board said its consumer-confidence index, which
     deteriorated last month, bounced back in mid-August to a reading of 81.3
     from 77 in July. That was clearly based on hope for the future rather than
     perceptions of how the economy is doing now, since the expectations index
     rose to 94.4 from 86.3, even as the present-situation index slipped to
     61.6 from a level of 63. And Lynn Franco, director of the Conference
     Board's consumer-research center, cautioned that "continued optimism will
     depend on positive developments in the labor market." Unemployment
     continues to be the country's biggest economic worry, and that was
     reflected in the research group's household survey. Those reporting that
     jobs are "hard to get" rose to 34.1% from 32.7% in July, though the
     proportion of consumers who said jobs are "plentiful" also rose, to 11.1%
     from 10.7%. And more consumers expect the job market to improve in the
     coming months, 18%, up from 16.6%.

     U.S. Markets Manage to Rise
     Despite the economic news, U.S. stock markets spent much of day below
     their opening levels and then rose in the afternoon. The Dow Jones
     Industrial Average gained 22.81 points, and the Nasdaq Composite Index
     rose 6.33 points. The yields of U.S. Treasury bonds fell, and the dollar
     was stronger against the euro and weaker against the yen. European stock
     markets fell across the board today, as did most markets in Asia. But the
     Indian stock market rebounded from the losses it took yesterday after the
     bombings in Bombay, with the Sensex rising 3.9%.
     The New York Stock Exchange itself reported a strong second quarter in
     which daily trading volume rose 5.1%. The Big Board's profit rose to $11.6
     million from $5.6 million a year earlier, even as quarterly revenue was
     essentially flat at $271.5 million. For the first half, the NYSE recorded
     a 30% increase in net income to $27 million from $20.7 million a year
     earlier, also on revenue that was pretty much unchanged at $539.5 million.

     Forecasts Worsen for U.S. Budget Deficit
     The U.S. government is on pace to record the largest budget deficit in its
     history next year, and one significantly wider than the Bush
     administration predicted last month, the Congressional Budget Office said.
     The nonpartisan CBO estimated the government deficit will be $480 billion
     next year, and could rise to a deficit of $1.4 trillion over the next
     decade. And this is without predictions for the cost of war and
     reconstruction in Iraq or new spending programs that are in the works,
     like the $400 billion Medicare prescription-drug plan Congress is
     struggling with now. The forecast would come in well above the current
     record deficit of $290.4 billion, which was set in 1992.
     Democrats were quick to point out that this record was set when President
     Bush's father was in the White House, and to blame the president's tax
     cuts for much of the government fiscal troubles. The CBO predicted that
     the budget would return to a surplus in 2012 and 2013, but only if
     Congress allows several of the Bush tax cuts to expire in 2010, which is
     unlikely to happen. The White House has blamed the mounting red ink on the
     Sept. 11 attacks and the sharp rise in defense and security costs, as well
     as the faltering economy. And it argues the president's tax-cutting
     policies will improve both the economy and the tax receipts collected to
     pay for the government's budget.
