FYI | Jul 01 2011
By Rudi Filapek-Vandyck, Editor FNArena
I joined Twitter. Not because I am curious what this celebrity has to say about her kids, or to read that another one is waiting for a connecting flight, impatiently. Twitter allows me to follow news and commentary sources such as Dow Jones' Marketwatch, Bloomberg News and the Wall Street Journal. It assists me in keeping up with what is happening across the globe, while I am observing and analysing financial markets myself.
While I am on Twitter, reading a quote here and a news flash there, I offer my own succint insights and commentary. Those amongst you who have already discovered the virtues of a Twitter account can add my Tweets to their daily news via @filapek.
For those who have no intention to join Twitter, but would like to stay up to date, below are my Tweets from the week past:
– Underlying dynamics are changing for producers of natural resources. No more big jumps in product prices http://t.co/3BlBBJ3
– Conclusions from the herd: sustained lower oil prices is positive for economies, for equities and for metals. H2 bounce here we come?
– Groundhog experience: 'summer' correction for equities in line with 2009 and 2010, implying one more leg down is possible, but lows are in?
– If history is our guide… commodities should put in strong performance in July. Usually copper's best time for the year, and silver's…
– Note what's happening behind this week's rally: market expectations for today's PMI releases are on the rise. This could mark turning point
