Overseas markets are weak this morning as only 7 out of 15 markets
that we track show strength. Asian markets closed with solid gains,
but European trading is subdued, with the FTSE and the DAX ahead,
and the French CAC 40 in negative territory. The August contract on
sweet crude oil inched 14 cents higher yesterday. Traders are still
waiting to see what impact Hurricane Dennis had on oil stockpiles,
as reports arrive that Hurricane Emily's impact on oil was nil. The
Energy Department is expected to reveal a third-straight week of
declines in the nation's crude inventories later today. Analysts at
IFR are expecting a decline of three to four million barrels, while
Fimat USA believes the loss will come in at 2.9 million. In early
trading, crude for August delivery had added 44 cents to $57.90. Be
prepared for the investing week ahead with Bernie Schaeffer's FREE

OPPORTUNITIES General Motors continues to strike out. Through the
first half of 2005, the Detroit automaker said it sold 308,722
vehicles in China, the world's third-largest auto market - a 19%
increase over the same period in 2004. That sent its Chinese market
share to almost 11%. In an effort to further boost its standing
there, GM will pump over US$3 billion into investment. The goal is
that by 2007, it will double its annual auto output to 1.3 million.
But just two days later, credit rating agency Moody's announced
that it might cut GM's debt rating amid more profit-eroding sales
incentives, the latest of which features the "employee discounts to
everyone" and a shift in demand to foreign automakers and more
fuel-efficient vehicles. Elsewhere, the US real estate boom
continues to make investors rich. Mutual funds that invest
specifically in real estate companies recorded a 13% return during
the second quarter - one of the best-performing sectors in the
market. But it wasn't the only sector to post healthy gains. On the
back of a similar sector-wide boom, energy and utilities funds also
fared well. Healthcare and biotech, as well as the telecom sector
also proved to be profitable investment destinations. Naturally,
fuel-dependent industries such as airlines, suffered as oil prices
climbed to an all-time high of more than US$60 a barrel. This week
also sees second quarter earnings season get underway with a
vengeance, as 137 S&P 500 companies are due to release their
latest results. Since Wall Street appears to have already priced in
greater-than-expected earnings, investors will be hoping the
negative reports can be kept to a minimum. Read more analysis from
