Overseas markets were dragged lower by automakers, thanks to higher
oil prices. BMW dropped 0.9 percent, Peugeot dropped 1.2 percent,
and DCX fell one percent. Not all news was bad from automakers, as
Renault advanced after announcing that first-half sales rose 3.6
percent to 1.35 million vehicles. Sales in Eastern Europe, Russia,
Latin America, and Africa and the Middle East were strong enough to
offset a decline of 0.8 percent in Western Europe. Renault
announced a 10.8-percent market share for passenger cars and light
commercial vehicles in Western Europe. The French automaker did
state that it sees second-half sales accelerating, thanks to the
launch of Clio III in September and expanded market presence for
the Logan in Western Europe, Russia, and Africa. Currently only
four of the markets that we track have been able to fight their way
into positive territory. Oil has decided to make its presence known
after the long July 4th weekend, with crude for August delivery
surging 60-cents higher to $59.35 per barrel in electronic trade.
On Friday, crude gained to close at $58.75 per barrel to put an end
to a week of selling. Last week, crude closed above $60 per barrel
for the first time while setting a sizeable intraday high of
$60.95. The higher prices of the past week coincide with concerns
about winter supplies as investors come to the realization that
higher prices could be here to stay. Be prepared for the investing

OPPORTUNITIES It was no surprise to see the US Federal Reserve
raise the overnight rate another 0.25% to 3.25% last Thursday. And
while its policy statement was unchanged, it appears that the Fed
will stop sooner rather than later. Inflation is only growing
moderately, as is economic growth and employment. The target rate
could well be 3.5%, but it remains to be seen what kind of effect
crude oil's recent run to US$60 a barrel will have on personal
spending. While it slipped back to around US$56, oil climbed again
last Friday, likely due to market speculation. North of the US
border, the Canadians saw their economy perform stoutly, as figures
show a 0.4% expansion in April -- the best pace in eight months.
The gains came courtesy of higher consumer spending, as the Bank of
Canada recently sliced the benchmark interest rate to a 40-year low
of 2.5%, as well as the jobless rate sitting at a four-and-a-half
year low. However, that's meager compared to India -- one of the
world's most thriving nations. With an excellent economic track
record over the past couple of years, India is using its good
fortunes to spark more growth. With higher government spending on
transportation, more factories being built and farmers enjoying
increased harvests within the agriculture sector, India's economy
expanded by 7% between January and March from a year earlier. It
also followed a solid 6.4% gain during the fourth quarter of 2004.
According to Bloomberg figures, the transportation sector jumped
over 11%, manufacturing chalked up an 8.6% gain, the financial
sector recorded a 7.7% increase and construction expanded 4.1%.
Interestingly, that overall 7% GDP growth number is exactly what
Prime Minister wants the economy to achieve in the new fiscal year
that began April 1. Whether it will or not depends largely on the
success of India's monsoon season (June-September) for the critical
agriculture-heavy economy. Unfortunately, figures from the India
Meteorological Department shows monsoon rainfall during June was
35% below average. Read more analysis from the 247Profits Group
