Overseas markets are struggling this morning, as only two of the 15
foreign indices that we track are currently in positive territory.
Asian markets were pressured lower by a fresh rise in crude prices,
as the July- dated contract on crude oil held above $59 per barrel
in overseas trading. In Hong Kong, however, stocks gained as
China's fifth-largest lender, Bank of Communications, set the price
for its initial public offering at the high end of its anticipated
range, raising $1.9 billion. The stock is scheduled to begin
trading on June 23. Futures are headed lower this morning, as
$60-per-barrel crude has quickly gone from a rumor to a very
possible occurrence. The July crude contract reached as high as
$59.23 in electronic trading, as traders speculated on fears of
possible terrorism in Nigeria. In the equity market, Cablevision
Systems was offered a buy-out offer to go private by the Dolan
Family Group. The deal is valued at $7.9 billion, or $33.50 per
share, with stockholders to receive $21 in cash and $12.50 per
share in Rainbow Media Holdings' stock. The Dolan Family expects
Cablevision Systems to form a special committee to evaluate the
proposal. Be prepared for the investing week ahead with Bernie

MARKET OPPORTUNITIES European Bank member and Bundesbank president
Axel Weber made sure that last week ended on a rather sour note,
stating that Italy, Portugal and Greece are all wobbling on the
fiscal precipice again. Weber said that judging by the countries'
respective budgets, they're again set to flirt close to the
European Union's fiscal rules. And these are amended rules that are
supposedly looser than the previous ones. Under the new framework,
countries that breach the mandated deficit allowance (which states
that they cannot run up debt that is more than 3% of national GDP)
can avoid EU budget sanctions if their economic growth is lower
than projected, or so-called "external factors" are involved.
Germany is set to breach the limit for the fourth successive year,
citing higher spending costs associated with rebuilding the former
East Germany. Italy will break the rules for the third straight
year in 2005 and the European Commission recently ordered finance
ministers to get Italy to reduce its budget shortfall. Meanwhile,
Greece will probably miss the target to get its deficit back under
the limit by next year and the Portuguese government is forecasting
a whopping 6.4% budget gap this year -- well over double the legal
limit. But in typically odd EU fashion, no country has yet been
fined for breaking the rules -- despite the rules saying that they
should be. The European Central Bank isn't helping foster much
growth by stubbornly ignoring ever louder calls from national
leaders and finance ministers to cut interest rates for the first
time in two years from the current 2% level. But with manufacturing
activity contracting by the biggest amount in two years in May,
Weber and the ECB apparently believe it is "asking too much" of the
bank to boost GDP growth by doing anything. So it continues to
leave rates unchanged. Read more analysis from the 247Profits Group
