MARKET OVERVIEW Overseas markets are performing pretty pathetically as none of the 15 markets that we track have been able to post positives. The cumulative average return on the group stands at a minus 0.618 percent. Last evening Japan's Ministry of Finance reported that imports of crude oil and condensate fell 5.6 percent in March on the year to 21.57 million kiloliters or 4.38 million barrels a day. The yen-denominated value of the customs-cleared crude oil import bill in March was lower by 15.9 percent. In fiscal 2003, which ended March 31, Japan imported a total of 244.90 million kiloliters of crude oil, unchanged from the year before. The lower crude oil imports in March were due mainly to a reduction in refinery operations during the month. Warmer weather this winter lowered the domestic demand for heating fuel as well as electricity. The Mortgage Bankers Association (MBA) Refinancing Index for the week ending April 17 will be released this morning. Thanks to rising interest rates the prior week's refinancing index slumped by 30.7 percent. The current MBA Refinancing Index declined by 10.9 percent. The Purchase Index ticked higher by 0.4 percent and the composite MBA Market Index fell by 5.6 percent. Brace yourselves for the 10:00 a.m. appearance by Fed Chairman Greenspan as he testifies before Joint Economic Committee of Congress. It appeared as if both the bond and equity markets needed a little more comforting on interest rates from Mr. Greenspan yesterday. His failure to deliver caused both groups to enter declines and close out yesterday's session at or near their respective lows. As we approach another meeting of the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) interest rate policy-setting meeting, it is time for the release of another Federal Reserve Beige Book. This particular Beige Book is a summary of economic activity prepared for use at the central bank's next Federal Open Market Committee meeting on May 4. The reports are typically prepared by one of the 12 Federal Reserve Banks. The report can offer clues as to the potential outcome of the upcoming meeting and has the ability to move the market (assuming Greenspan leaves any room for a move). Once again we have a hefty earnings calendar today. Be prepared for the investing week ahead with Bernie Schaeffer's FREE Monday Morning Outlook.

And with the annual family trip beginning to take shape (despite soaring gasoline prices), there are bullish prospects for the travel industry. For investors, that means keeping a close eye on airlines, hotel chains, travel websites and rental car companies - all of whom will be looking to reap the financial rewards of another busy summer season. If the latest projections from PricewaterhouseCoopers are anything to go by, hoteliers should be looking forward with renewed optimism. The firm expects room demand in U.S. hotels to climb 5% this year. Moreover, as the economy recovers and many consumers find they have more income, upscale and luxury rooms could see a 4% increase in occupancy. Average room occupancy is forecast at 69% this summer, compared to last year's 62% average - a most welcome change in fortunes following three years of below average numbers in the wake of the September 11 attacks.
