Investors will then demand a higher risk premium for holding assets of those quasi-sovereigns without explicit sovereign guarantees. Hence, developments in Dubai have broader market resonance and the CDS market has continued to react negatively with spreads widening dramatically, especially those of the less well thought of sovereign names.

POPSMixed Data Leads to Mixed Markets The Federal Reserve Board staff expects the Central Bank's balance sheet to peak later this year and decline gradually from then on. Yesterday China revealed perhaps another part of the reason for strong asset markets. The country's M2 surged to a new record since data avail in 1999 of 28.5%, well above expected 26.7%, compared to an average in past years around 18% and their GDP this morning was also stronger than had been anticipated. China's economy gathered momentum in the 2nd Quarter of the year thanks to a continuation of the massive fiscal and monetary stimulus. Yesterday's UK jobs figures were, as reported during the rest of the day, horrendous. UK unemployment data rose to hit a 12 year high of 2.38 million in the three months to May, equivalent to 7.6% of the workforce. This bigger than expected jump is the largest rise we have seen since records began in 1971 and 2.4% higher than it was this time last year.

POPSOptions Mastery Class Giveaway and Webinar Tonight Brett Fogle, President of Options University, is about to start giving away their Options Mastery Series course. Why? Because they believe we’re headed for even more market volatility in the future, and we may have only just seen the beginning of the US market meltdown. Brett Fogle says: "We could put in a bottom here, but we’ll likely go much lower with the U.S. Commercial Real Estate market on the verge of collapse, and residential home foreclosures at record numbers (so high, the banks can’t officially "post" them all)...which means U.S. banks are also in danger." Basically, he wants to let you know that they care about U.S. investors, and want to get this information into the hands of as many of you as possible.
