haven't read the articles but lots of boxes being ticked here
* US bond spreads reduced to 148 basic points (ie the 10yr bond rate is now down to 2.67%.) - means o/seas borrowing costs for the bank might be cheaper.
* the US markets looks to be back on track with the latest jobs data
* results are out this week, as previously mentioned, and the results (with loans and residential construction pick up) should be good
* has had a good correction and is now lying at the bottom of a long term upward trading band
have bought in (long) with both cfd's and commsec - a good sized investment.
