Overseas markets are mixed in trading this morning with eight out
of the 15 indices that we track currently in positive territory. In
Europe, the London FTSE is down 0.04 percent while the Frankfurt
DAX is up 0.24 percent. In Asia, the Japanese Nikkei finished the
session down 0.18 percent while the Hong Kong Hang Seng gained 0.15
percent. The preliminary estimate for fourth-quarter gross domestic
product was reported today at a growth rate of 3.1 percent. This
falls short of the consensus of economists' estimates of 3.6
percent growth. The U.S. Dollar Index gained 0.13 points during
U.S. trading yesterday. The dollar showed little net change amid
mixed economic data as the currency markets mulled over speculation
regarding Asian currency policy. Next week's meeting of global
financial leaders may give more insight into what types of policies
other world powers will be implementing regarding their currencies.
A close eye is being kept on China, in particular, due to
speculation that the Yuan will soon be allowed to float more freely
against the dollar. President Bush supports such a move, indicating
that he believes it will help reduce the U.S. trade deficit Be

OPPORTUNITIES For all the debate about how the high US deficits and
sinking dollar are deterring foreign investors, new research from
Swiss bank UBS paints a different picture. According to its
six-month moving average of money flows between the US and Europe,
net European flows into US equities have turned positive for the
first time since the September 11 terrorist attacks. This is
interesting, given that recent pressure on the dollar has seen it
hit record lows against the euro. But it appears the twin
combination of bargain-hunting in US equities, coupled with fresh
optimism over US economic growth (particularly compared to the poor
state of European growth) has convinced investors to return to US
investments. In addition, December saw the S&P500 index hit its
highest level since August 2001. But US Treasury data show
Americans going one step better. Figures from November show that
while foreign purchases of US investments totaled an extremely
strong US$14.5 billion - the highest since May 2001 - US investors
gobbled up US$16.1 billion worth of overseas investments - the
highest monthly outflow since 1977. So it seems that even if
foreigners aren't yet too deterred by the falling dollar, some
Americans are! The question is: can continued strong inflows to US
investments prop up the dollar and save it from further distress?
Elsewhere, the corporate world was abuzz with news Thursday morning
that SBC Communications could be about to acquire AT&T for
around US$15 billion. Ironically, AT&T used to be the parent
company of SBC until its business turned south. In 2004 alone,
AT&T wrote down US$11.4 billion in assets and laid off 14,000
employees. Although talks are still at a very early stage and a
price hasn't even been agreed, a completed deal could be worth a
premium of 9% to AT&T's current value, according to the New
York Times. Receive incisive economic/market commentary, profitable
