Maternity Pads, Where To Buy



negative session on Wall Street on Friday that because of concerns about the economic recovery. A weigh on the mood investors a series of macroeconomic data, much less encouraging: new applications for unemployment benefits last week rose to 500,000 units, reaching its highest since November 2009, disappointing forecasts of analysts had expected a decline to 480,000 units instead. Also disappointed by the superindex, despite the month of July has shown an increase of 0.1% (-0.3% on the data reviewed in June), stood below the consensus, set at 0.2%, and Philadelphia Fed index, slipping to -7.7 points in August from 5.1 in July, below expectations, subject to 7 points.
I have even canceled the positive data released Thursday before the opening, that have shown an increase of 13% for the weekly index of applications for mortgages (those for the actual purchase of real estate were down 3.4%) and 17% of applications for refinancing.
still bad real estate, with building permits have declined by 3.1% to 565,000 units, higher than the consensus, stopped at 576,000 units, and new construction sites that, though rising, 1, 7 % to 546,000 units, proved to be less than the forecast of analysts who had expected a rise to 560,000 units.
In line with the expected output prices, which rose by 0.2% (based on a core, an increase 0.3%, higher than the 0.2% consensus).
better than expected but it was revealed this week that industrial production in July recorded a 1% rise, well above the 0.5% expected by the market, as well as capacity utilization, rising to 74 , 8% from 74.1% in June, 74.5% more than expected. Finally
to report the information came from the University of Michigan, whose index of consumer confidence in its preliminary version in August showed an increase to 69.6 points from 67.8 the previous month, reaching beyond expectations, without to 69 points

My Legs Ache & Feel Hot




Markets
very undecided in the week. The beneficiaries were in the banking and financial week, always in the wake of the stress test, so the English and Italian indices which have within them a composition of overweight on banking shares. Negative instead of the U.S. markets after a set of GDP under the expectations. Interesting developments in the S & P 500 after the break of 1100 points Tuesday, the index has retraced Wednesday and Thursday, before recovering to close only to the 1100 closing on Friday. The compilation of 1100 will be very important to start a reversal of the uptrend.


As for the European market, the Eurostoxx 50 marks lows yet to be confirmed But the start of an upward trend after declines in recent months, only breaking the 2800 points would confirm a reversal of trend.


The Dax has a very similar situation Eurostoxx 50, would be very important to exceed the 6350 points: highs. Our index, however, Ftse Eb, breaks resistance at 21,000 points, the next goal of covering the gap to 22,000 points on April 28. To be confirmed yet if the excess of 21,000 points can be a false signal "a trap" for a return to the previous trading range, in August it will be the test case.


In terms of commodities, continuing the weakness of gold and oil retain its positive trend sideways. Within an exchange, even in the short tonic the Euro to the dollar while the pound gained positions.
