| Weaker Jobless Claims another disappointment Posted: 01 Jul 2010 05:38 AM PDT The Jobless Claims is once again a dissappointment this week but the rejection of extending the Extending Benefits past the end of July will result in 3 million people losing this source of income. The Extending Benefits are not included in the weekly jobless numbers. However, since most people who receive Extended Benefits spend that money it will be a drain from the economy. With the weekly jobless claims showing weakness still (and going the wrong way), the chances of a double dip may start to gain some momentum. Efforts to extend the benefits have failed to get the needed votes as Congress fears the deficit implications of the measures. |

| Bobbys Corner-Open Market-July.1.2010 Posted: 01 Jul 2010 05:13 AM PDT  Good Morning:
The FX markets were very busy in overnight trading. The USD weakened across the board, with USD/JPY breaking into the 87 handle-the first time since December 2009. The Euro fared well-as Spain sold 3.5 billion euros of 5 year bonds, which was the target amount they were looking for. Another positive note for the euro was comments from the ECB that they will lend 111.2 billion euros for 6 days to help EU banks after the 12 month loan expires today. At the start of the European debt crisis-the ECB had made emergency 12 month loans available to the regions banking sector-these are the loans that are being repaid today. The ECB will still make 3 and 6 moth loans available to the regions banks. World equity markets fell-as news that China’s manufacturing has slowed, and the faltering creditworthiness of Spain added to a global first half slump. US futures are mostly lower at this time.
