<title>The Stock Market Is Trapped In The Yin And Yang Phenomenon</title>
<description>After a volatile 5 days, world stock markets just managed to close last 5 days in the black. It was a week of two halves with the good work from the start of the week being undone in the second half as traders slipped into reverse gear on Thursday and Friday. At least markets managed to hold the gains from the previous week which in the context of the bear market is no mean feat. </description>

<title>Will the Stocks Bear Market Continue to Reign?</title>
<description>There were genuine signs of emerging optimism in stock markets last week. Confidence has been largely absent so far in 2009, with every attempted rally squashed before it really had chance to get going. There is a growing sense that this time round things are different, and this belief will only grow further, if markets can survive the next week or so without dropping too far below last Thursday’s low.</description>

<title>World Equity Markets took Two Steps Forward and Two Steps Back</title>
<description>It was a case of two steps forward and two steps back last week for world equity markets. Global equities were served a reminder of just how difficult bear markets can be. Traders are quick to grab whatever short term profits they have made, making it difficult for rallies to build momentum. Equities shot out of the starting gate in the early part of the week, largely due to a relief rally in the banking sector.</description>

<title>World Equity Markets took Two Steps Forward and Two Steps Back</title>
<description>It was a case of two steps forward and two steps back last week for world equity markets. Global equities were served a reminder of just how difficult bear markets can be. Traders are quick to grab whatever short term profits they have made, making it difficult for rallies to build momentum. Equities shot out of the starting gate in the early part of the week, largely due to a relief rally in the banking sector. The clear catalyst was the announcement from Barclays that it won’t be going to the market or government for more cash. This, more than anything strengthened investor’s confidence in Barclays and across the sector as a whole. However, as impressive as today’s performance is, the rally needs to be put in context. Shares in Barclay’s are still around 50% lower than they were just two months ago.</description>

<title>Credit Crunch Springs Back into Action</title>
<description>After taking some time off between Christmas and New Year, the credit crunch  was well and truly back in action last week. Fears over further banking problems and sovereign debt downgrades for the likes of Ireland and Greece surfaced last month, but until now, these fears have merely been simmering in the background.</description>

<title>Market drama continues with Eurozone admitting recession</title>
<description>The week’s action was all the more damning considering the Eurozone’s admission that it too is in a recession. The Euro managed to end the slightly down against the dollar, but the pound plunged through the 1.5000 level for the first time since 2002. However there is still some way to go before the low of 1.3685 from 2001 is breached.</description>

<title>Gloomy weather overshadows world economy - BetOnMarkets</title>
<description>Last week global equities finally managed to finish the week with significant gains, but October was still a very poor month overall. Barry Ritholtz of The Big Picture highlighted just how volatile the last month has been. October was the worst month for the S&P 500 since the 1987 stock market crash, not only that, it was also the most volatile in the market’s 80 year history.....</description>

<title>Bull continues to run backwards, world economy in shambles!</title>
<description>The state of the financial markets still maintained centre stage, but attention has now started to shift to the wider economy. Unfortunately sentiment is no better there and it would be fair to say the state of the world economy is hardly grounds for optimism.</description>

<title>Global Stock Market Sell Off and Extreme Volatility</title>
<description>It could be argued that even with the wild gyrations of the past few months, many were still in denial about the state of the financial markets. Last week, fear was rife as traders, investors, and the man on the street could no longer deny the magnitude of the global sell off. Some commentators are referring to it as the great crash of 2008.</description>

<title>Financial Markets Stabilize After Recent Beatings</title>
<description>Traders, investors, and financial journalists must have been glad to reach the end of a week that will surely go down in the history of financial markets. The FTSE closed the week just 66 points down which the S&P 500 actually managed a small profit. Homeowner, the closing figures do not even begin to tell the whole story with the FTSE trading in a 521 point range and posting its best one day rally in history on Friday.</description>

<title>Stock Market Had Worst Half Year Since 1970</title>
<description>The half year report card for global stock markets was not one to be proud of. The first half of 2008 was the worst first half to a year for the Dow Jones Industrial Average since 1970, when the index was down 14.60%.

<title>Yet Another Tough Week</title>
<description>A Bull bet on the S&P 500 to be higher than Fridays opening value of 1333 in three months time could return 107%. Given recent market trends though, traders at BetOnMarkets feels that it may be better to wait for signs of further capitulation in the form of a 2.5% daily drop or greater. </description>

<title>Will the oil price stop hiking up?</title>
<description>After experiencing a much needed sell off, there is the potential for the  FTSE to stabilise over the next week said BetOnMarkets.com traders, especially if (big if) oil manages to go a week without making a new record high. With that in mind a bull bet on the FTSE to be higher than 5900 on the 9th of June could yield around 19%.</description>

<description>Mike Wright, Director of BetOnMarkets.com, said: “Shell on the back of record oil prices has had a great financial year. Despite selecting some stunning girls for the promotion, decked in shells to mark the occasion, the shareholders only had eyes for the words of wisdom from the board.”</description>

<title>Better than expected</title>
<description>Traders at BetOnMarkets.com say, with this in mind, the following trade may be valuable. Placing a No Touch trade on the S&P 500 not to touch 1580 within the next 120 days could return 14%. This places the no touch level above the high from last year, while providing room for some upside.</description>

<title>Credit Crisis Worst is Over- We'll Believe It When We See It!</title>
<description>“Sell in May” says the old stock market adage, but the bulls were in no mood for old wives' tales last week. Markets were in rally mode after the better than expected US jobs report, and news of more liquidity injections from the Federal Reserve. The Federal Reserve did what most traders were expecting them to do in cutting rates another quarter percent down to 2%.</description>

<title>The Hush Before The Storm </title>
<description>Following the previous week’s heavy buying, global markets again finished the week positively. However, gains were limited to around half a percent for the week with the Nasdaq and S&P 500 rising the most. With many cross winds in the form of bank write downs, and some positive earnings surprises from the US, it was hard for markets to make significant progress in either direction. Volatility continued in the UK financial sector with RBS releasing the full details of its required cash injection. </description>

<title>What's Next..North or South!</title>
<description>On a day when you hear about the worlds largest bank CITI Group losing $5 Billion and cutting 4,000 jobs world wide, you might expect markets to be down severely. You might also have expected the FTSE to stumble on the news that RBS is preparing a rights issue to shore up its balance sheet. However, apart from some early nervousness on Friday, the UKs benchmark index managed to close the week up 3.2%. The CAC & DAX both managed 4.3%.</description>

The FTSE and CAC managed 4.7% and 5.4% gains while the Nasdaq 100 was the pick of the US markets, closing the week up 5.2%. The rally was sparked by Lehman Brothers announcing the sale billion of dollars worth of shares late on Monday night.</description>

<title>Is market confidence here to stay ?</title>
<description>Last week world stock markets managed to recover somewhat from the mauling of 
most of November. On Tuesday and Wednesday alone the Dow Jones and S&P 500 
put on 500 points and 60 points respectively. This puts the S&P 500 back in 
positive territory for the year heading into what is usually a benign festive 
trading period.</description>

<title>Are we revisiting the past?</title>
<description>Last week the 20 year anniversary of the 1987 crash passed with a significantly negative close for all major stock markets. 
A sell off, but it was some way off being a repeat of that day 20 years ago that wiped off 12.2% of the value of British shares in one trading session. It is interesting to note that neither the 1987 or 1929 crashes led to a recession and the Dow actually finished up for the year after the '87 crash. Indeed as of the time of writing the Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 700% from its 87 crash low. </description>

<title>Who is the top Dollar?</title>
<description>Last week Oil continued its ascent into record territory. Just shy of $90 per barrel the much talked about $100 per barrel isn’t too far off. Strangely the price isn’t still hasn’t topped too many headlines, perhaps because prices still sit below £1.00 per litre in the UK. If that damn burst, UK consumers could be in for a shock says Betonmarket’s Michael Wright.</description>
