This housing price slump will continue into summer, despite rate cuts.<br />
Most mega merger at peak of asset bubbles facing burst<br />
and lead to huge loss, repeat 2000 IT bubble burst,<br />
Look at CSCO, Citi, AOL endless lists.<br />
US dollar strength is supported by rising oil, commodities prices and soaring inflation, eventual rate hike, EURO rate cuts due to slowdown, supporting near term dollar weakness.<br />
Global construction demand will be drag by US housing<br />
price slump resulted economic recession and global stock market decline resulted housing bubble bursts in China credit tightening, India, UK.<br />
China recent snow damage will recover easily.<br />

<h2 class="post-title">Crude Surges Over $74</h2>
<div class="post-info">Posted by Tim Annett</div>
<div class="post-content"><img alt="barrels" src="http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/images/it_pj-oilbarrels12052005155017.gif" align="left" /> </p>
<p><em><strong>Roshanak Taghavi reports on today’s action in the energy markets:</strong></em></p>
<p><strong>Crude-oil futures rose above $74 a barrel</strong> Friday on heightened concerns that a new tropical storm could be developing in the Atlantic Ocean and an upsurge in U.S. equities. The front-month October light, sweet crude contract on the New York Mercantile Exchange was up 86 cents, or 1.2%, at $74.22 a barrel. October Brent crude on the ICE futures exchange was up 93 cents at $72.83 a barrel.</p>
<p>Traders were paying extra attention Friday to <strong>four low pressure systems that have developed in the Atlantic basin, which could develop into a strong storm or hurricane</strong>. Atlantic hurricanes have the potential to enter the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and wreak havoc with energy installations there.</p>
<p>Crude oil and gasoline futures have been extremely volatile since Wednesday, when the U.S. Department of Energy reported gasoline inventories fell by a larger-than-expected 3.6 million barrels in the week ended Aug. 24. <strong>U.S. gasoline stocks now cover just 20 days of demand, the lowest level on record, according to the DOE’s Energy Information Administration</strong>. Expectations that gasoline supplies will tighten even more during the U.S. Labor Day holiday, when many Americans hit the road to attend celebrations and take vacations, has also added to traders’ concerns.</p>
<p>“We are maintaining a view that any <strong>strength in the crude oil or heating oil going forward will be driven almost entirely by a tight gasoline market</strong>,” said Jim Ritterbusch of Ritterbusch and Associates in Galena, Ill. in a research note. “We are still not ruling out a strong expiration today as the combination of <strong>near record low gasoline supply cover and a thin holiday trade could provide a recipe for a volatile session as today’s trade proceeds</strong>.”</p>
<p>Nymex September reformulated-gasoline blendstock <strong>was up 1.03 cents, or 0.5%, at $2.0904 a gallon</strong>. September heating oil was up 2.46 cents, or 1.2%, at $2.0530 a gallon.</div>

<div class="comment-text">My crude oil price tracking last 20 years and forecasted closely related gasoline demand, price in summer and heating oil demand, prices in winter which tied into consumer, business demand, finaly control by monetary policy interest rataes, currency.<br />
This relationship forecast on the blog in July that oil price peaking out at 80 in summer 2007, and trded between 60- 80 extended inot next year, supported by falling dollar and any rate cuts to stimulated the consumer, business demand.<br />
recent Benanke, Bush sstatement, in any rate cuts<br />
to stimulate the housing demand, lead to oil speculator drive up gasoline, heating oil prices and further supported by daolar plunged from 122 to 115 Yen.<br />

<div class="comment-text">I have been able to track, simulate accurately ahead of the last 20 years root causes, onset,identification, growth, spread, early warning of Stocks, commodities, housing bubbles by proactive, structural neural net models.<br />
It usually orinnated from excessive rate, tax cuts resulted demand, pushed prices<br />
higher, and aided by hot money<br />
( related to strong currency speculation strong dollar lead to May 2007, 118 billion capital inflow into US market),lead to over 100 % gain within one year, this wealth gain is them spread into stocks, housing markets wealth, created huge excessive liquidity resulted bubble accelerated growth, hard for any central banks rate hikes to handle credit tightening, ( took Fed 17 rate hikes)<br />
eventualy bubble burst, with or without central macroeconometric control and deep recession, like Japanes style recession.<br />
I warned hundred Singapore, Shanghai banking , finance CEO, executives Nov. 2003 on ASian/China finance, capital market conference that US/China housing bubble facing credit tightening from 2004 till 2007.<br />
US 17 rate hikes did delate housing bubble 2005 with money supply growth reduced from 7 % to 3.5 %,<br />
However, Market analysts speculate rate cuts after Fed stoped rate hike 2006, drive money supply from 4 % back to 6.2 % in July 2007 lead to housing bubble growth with<br />
housing prices up almost 100 % in coastal area, up 40 %<br />
in July 2007, in New York , SF financial district and Silicon Valley IT center, benefited by Dow JOnes, Nasdaq soared 40 % gain, finance, IT stock up 400 %<br />
These models tracks, simulated the interaction of curency , wealth effect gain and monetary policy impact on<br />
the identification, deflation,<br />
inflation of bubbe and burst<br />
