Pending Home Sales Index Hits Lowest Level Ever
The battered housing sector took another blow, with an industry group reporting a gauge of pending home sales tumbled to its lowest level ever as the credit crunch restrains purchases.
The National Association of Realtors' index for pending sales of previously owned homes decreased at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.5% to 85.5 in August from July's 91.4, the industry group said.
The August index was at its lowest point since tracking began in January 2001. The previous low was 89.8 in September 2001.
NAR senior economist Lawrence Yun said the troubled mortgage market hurt sales.
"Fewer contracts were being written because of mortgage availability issues, and a separate internal survey of our members shows more than 10% of sales contracts fell through at the last moment in August, primarily the result of canceled loan commitments," he said.
The NAR index, based on signed contracts for previously owned homes, was 21.5% below the level of August 2006.

Democrats Seek Changes To War Budget
Frustrated by the stalemate over Iraq, House Democrats spelled out a strategy that would stall action on U.S. President George W. Bush's 2008 war budget and rely on incremental funding to sustain troop operations until next spring.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates outlined an almost $190 billion request last week for the military in Iraq and Afghanistan over the coming year. But House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey, D-Wis., said Tuesday morning that he had "absolutely no intention" of reporting out a bill this year to fund "any such request that simply serves to continue the status quo."

Ford Sales Down As It Faces Labor Talks
Wednesday October 3, 1:14 am ET
By Dee-Ann Durbin, AP Auto Writer
Ford Sales Down As It Faces Negotiations on New Labor Contract With United Auto Workers
DETROIT (AP) -- Ford Motor Co. has something else to bring to the table in its ongoing contract talks with the United Auto Workers union: A dismal September sales report.
Ford's U.S. sales plunged 21 percent last month as the automaker continued sharp reductions in sales to rental car fleets. Toyota Motor Corp. outpaced Ford for the month and for the January-September period, continuing its drive to replace Ford as the nation's No. 2 automaker in sales after General Motors Corp.

La clôture de wall street
-
Wall Street marque le pas au lendemain d'une séance qui s'est soldée par une hausse d'une ampleur un peu
inespérée, même si l'entame d'un nouveau trimestre se solde généralement par un biais plutôt haussier et une
prédominance des programmes d'achat.
Si le Dow Jones (-0,3%) n'est pas parvenu à améliorer son record historique inscrit la veille (14.115Pts), le
Nasdaq (+0,22%) a poursuivi sur sa lancée et s'offre même une clôture au plus haut du jour et de l'année 2007.
Le 'S&P-500' donne une idée plus juste de la teneur de cette séance de transition avec une clôture à l'équilibre,
l'envolée collective (presque incompréhensible) des promoteurs immobiliers étant compensée par le recul du
compartiment des pétrolières et des para-pétrolières (beaucoup plus logique).
Les scores parlent d'eux même avec Parker Hannifin (-2,5%), Conoco-Philips (-2,2%), Chevron -2%, Dinegy
(-1,9%), Exxon-Mobil (-1,8%).
Les autres replis du jour ne traduisent pas de rotation sectorielle avec Biogen (-3,4%), United Techno (-1,8%),
Pfizer (-1,5%).
La grande surprise provient du rebond des constructeurs de maisons individuelles alors que le mois d'août fut
semble-t'il un des pires des 30 dernières années selon la NAR avec une chute de -6,5% des 'pré-ventes' après
-10,6% au mois de juillet (soit -22% sur 6 mois).
Les investisseurs en ont ils déduit que la conjoncture immobilière avait 'touché le fond' cet été (et que septembre
serait moins déprimant), toujours est-il que de solides rachats à bon compte ont profité à KB Homes puis Pulte
Homes (+4,8%) ainsi qu'aux spécialistes du crédit hypothécaire que sont Fannie Mae (+4,1%) et Freddie Mac
(+2,9%)... avec un bel accessit en faveur de Morgan Stanley (+3,3%) et Bank Of America (+2,15%).
Le secteur automobile a également redressé sa course avec Ford +4,15% (malgré une chute de -21% des ventes
'worldwide') puis Gal Motors (+2,8%).
Les rachats à bon compte se sont poursuivi ce mardi sur les 'technos' en détresse avec Ciena (+9%), Akamai
(+7,6%), Micron (+3,9%). D'autres ont confirmé leurs bonnes dispositions estivales comme EMC +2,7%,
Symantec (+2,5%), UAL (+2%), SUN (+1,7%), Whole Foods (+1,8%).

Dear Trader,
Yesterday we saw very little pullback as this market basically held onto all of its gains from Monday. This market has got some strong support keeping it moving higher.
It's really what I talked about yesterday. Many investors, fund managers, and other traders have decided they weren't going to miss out this time around and many people have been pouring money into this market.
Combining that with the Fed stepping in and lowering rates by .50 basis points, that is keeping this market moving higher. We've even traded above the 1550 level (and closed above that level) in the S&P futures contract.
The big thing this week will be the Jobs Report that comes out on Friday. Hopefully we will see some wild action that we can take advantage of and make some real money!
