MARKET OVERVIEW Overseas markets are looking a little anemic this morning, as just one of the 15 markets that we track has managed a positive showing. The cumulative average return on the collective stands at a minus 0.389 percent. According to a survey published by Martin Hamblin GfK, the headline index of consumer confidence fell to minus four from minus two in May, disappointing analysts who were expecting a third consecutive month of a minus two reading. The drop in the headline index was led by a sharp fall in consumers' willingness to make major purchases, reflecting higher interest rates. Recall that the Bank of England has now raised interest rates four times since November, with key short-term interest rates currently standing one full percentage point above October's 3.5 percent rate. Somewhat disappointing news out of Japan as May's Industrial Output rose by just 0.5 percent on expectations for a 2.5 percent rise. Output is still expanding, however, higher by 4.2 percent on the year- over-year period. The pair of weekly reports on the health of the retail sector will be made public before the start of today's session. The ICS-UBS Store Sales Index for the week ending June 19 rose by 0.1 percent, while the Redbook Retail Sales for the same period jumped by 0.4 percent. During yesterday's market, the S&P Retail Index tagged an all-time high at 413.55 before settling in for a 50 cent gain. At 10:00 a.m., the June Conference Board Consumer Confidence Index is expected to have risen to 95.0, surpassing May's 93.2 reading. The first session of the two-day Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meeting on interest rate policy begins sometime today. Don't expect anything out of today's session, but stay tuned for tomorrow's 2:15 p.m. policy statement. Be prepared for the investing week ahead with Bernie Schaeffer's FREE Monday Morning Outlook.

As much as anything else, it was a moral victory for the coalition, as it trumped any potential terrorist act on the original handover date. In addition, US personal spending jumped 1% -- its biggest jump in about three years -- as income rose 0.6%. With today's expected 0.25% interest rate hike already priced into the markets, expect the bulls to remain active on Wall Street this week as the fiscal year draws to a close. The bulls were active on DHB Industries, sending the stock to a new 52-week high of $15.90 from Friday's $14.94 close. The Taipan Group's Value Edge investment chief William Colburn recommended this stock to readers in May and is currently sitting on a 65% gain. One of Colburn's other defense-related recommendations, Xybernaut, was added to the Russell 3000 index last Friday -- very bullish news. Trading for $1.70, Colburn has recorded a 101% gain on the company. Receive incisive economic/market commentary, profitable advice and access to a network of leading investment exports.
