DYNAMIC MARKET OPPORTUNITIES American retail sales experienced
their first slide since August 2004. The Commerce Department
reported today that sales dipped 0.5% in May - the biggest since
downturn since June 2004 - and more than double expectations that
called for a more tepid 0.2% fall. A 1.6% drop in auto spending
accounted for a sizeable chunk of the decline, possibly due to
higher gasoline prices discouraging folks from buying the more
gas-thirsty vehicles on the market. A drop was bound to occur
sooner or later and at the 247Profits investment group, the editors
don't think means anything more sinister than just a simple monthly
fall. Consumer spending is still expected to rise 3.2% this year.
And while higher energy prices might be persuading consumers to
restrain spending as they channel funds to pay for household bills
instead, at least energy stocks are helping to prop up the Dow
Industrials and the S&P 500. Perhaps investors are now more
comfortable with high oil prices. But that still doesn't protect
the economy from further damage from high energy costs. The same
theory that applies to crude oil prices applies to stock prices -
that is, a "fear" premium. It remains to be seen what kind of
effect crude oil prices will ultimately have on the US economy.
Over in Europe, soon after a report in German magazine Stern that
the German government has allegedly discussed scrapping the euro in
favor on returning to the Deutschmark (ministers apparently blame
the euro for a sizeable chunk of the country's economic woes and
Stern cited a poll that says half the German population want to
revert back to their old currency), word from Italy that the
country's Welfare Minister is proposing a referendum about
abandoning the euro and reintroducing the lira. Like with Germany,
there's probably little chance of this coming to fruition. But they
might have a point. The euro looks forlorn at the moment. Even
European Union president Jean-Claude Juncker is calling it
overvalued compared to the US dollar. Juncker continued to say that
he'd quit as Luxembourg's prime minister if Luxembourg doesn't
approve the EU constitution. Read more analysis from the 247Profits
