Trading overseas is looking extremely weak this morning, with only
two of the 15 markets that we follow in positive territory. The
cumulative average return on the group stands at a -0.311 percent.
Asia finished the trading day mixed, with the Nikkei shedding 0.34
percent while the Hang Seng closed with a 0.8-percent gain.
European stocks are lower today following disappointing earnings
reports from Infineon Technologies and ASM International. However,
strong results from British oil giant BP PLC is providing the U.K.
with some support. The June contract on sweet crude oil eased back
82 cents after four days of gains. As we so often see, round-number
levels often have great significance, and today's high for crude
was 56.00 exactly. But talk on the Street has it that gasoline
rather than crude, is now the vital fluid to watch. Be prepared for

OPPORTUNITIES Investors suffered an early shock Monday morning,
with the news that crude oil prices are steadily climbing closer to
US$60 amid "a possible squeeze on gasoline supplies this summer."
Having correctly predicted that oil would dip under US$50 per
barrel just a couple of weeks ago, Ian Cooper, investment editor at
Red Zone Profits, EVS, and Doji Master trading services is now
predicting that prices will top US$60 by early May, as demand stays
strong entering the summer driving season. Oil is a subject set to
dominate the financial headlines, with 18 of the industry's biggest
players set to release earnings in the next two weeks. Among them:
Exxon-Mobil and Conoco-Phillips on Wednesday. Exxon alone is
projected to post an impressive 54% growth in earnings-per-share.
Friday sees second biggest US oil producer Chevron-Texaco report
earnings, just one day after the earnings release of the company it
recently agreed to buy out, ninth-ranked Unocal. Since oil prices
heavily affect gasoline prices, the market sits at an important
juncture as the US gears up for the busy summer season. That,
coupled with fresh inflationary pressure, and constant speculation
about the end of the real estate boom has investors concerned.
Among the economic releases: Consumer spending and income data;
durable goods orders; home sales will all contribute to the
market's mood, with the highlight being Thursday when the Commerce
Department releases its initial figure on first quarter US GDP
growth. According to a MarketWatch poll, that figure could hit
3.6%, just a little slower than the 3.8% growth pace posted during
the fourth quarter -- not bad, considering the inflationary
pressures heating up, an inconsistent job market, ballooning oil
prices, and the upward march of interest rates. Read more analysis
