US Perspective—07.10.08

News this week from North America is not very different from last week. Cows and bulls are hard sells at the moment and business is being transacted at significantly lower levels. Steers maintained a fairly steady level through September, but more than a few sources are suggesting that we may see a softening in this market.
The major news this week is the turbulent stock market, which is rising and falling like a storm wave. Many in North America are anxiously awaiting news from the US government on whether or not the House of Representatives will pass a bill to bail out various financial institutions and to find out the effect this will have on the credit situation.
