The latest analysis and summary of the worldwide financial downturn.

It could be argued that even with the wild gyrations of the past few months, many were still in denial about the state of the financial markets.

Traders, investors, and financial journalists must have been glad to reach the end of a week that will surely go down in the history of financial markets. The FTSE closed the week just 66 points down which the S&P 500 actually managed a small profit. Homeowner, the closing figures do not even begin to tell the whole story with the FTSE trading in a 521 point range and posting its best one day rally in history on Friday.

Traders at BetOnMarkets believes that Last week’s late recovery could be a useful point to enter trades predicting the sell off will continue. A No Touch trade predicting that the FTSE 100 won’t touch 6200 at any time during the next 6 months could return 21%.

A One Touch trade predicting that the GBP/ USD will touch $2.00 at least once during the next 16 days could return 28% in BetOnMarkets.com.

Three percent may seem an inauspicious number, but it certainly caused some headaches last week. Firstly, UK inflation is running at 3%, over the Bank Of England target of 2% and obliging the Governor of the Bank of England to write a letter of explanation to the Government.

Given the massive growth in the overall popularity of spread betting as an investment tool in recent years, alongside the ever higher profile achieved by the general gaming industry, it is perhaps quite surprising that the traditional form of gambling – fixed-odds betting – is not more widely used.

US stocks have received a slight boost as oil prices retreat and new home sales unexpectedly rose on a month on month basis. However, we shouldn’t really read too much into this, as there is a margin for error in these figures and new home sales in the US are still down 42% year on year. In addition, the Case-Schiller benchmark house price index is now showing a record decline of 14%. During the early 90s housing recession, this figure reached just -2.8%, which is a real indicator of the absolute capitulation in the US housing market. Predictions of double digit losses for the UK housing market may not be far off the mark, especially in light of recent house price data showing record month on month falls.

A 'one touch' trade with BetOnMarkets.com predicting that the EUR/ USD will touch 1.5855 at any time during the next 16 days could yield 12%.

Last week was one for record books; Oil surged above $105 dollars a barrel to reach its highest level since records began. Gold fell back from previous highs, but still managed to get within $5 of the magical $1,000 level at one point. Gold is up 18% since the beginning of the year, and since bottoming out in 2001 oil has now risen over 530%. There were also record highs for the Euro, before this too retraced from its highs of the week.

You've just pocketed an awesome graduation gift - the kind that folds. Or perhaps you scored a nice sales bonus at work. Maybe you even received a hefty tax refund from Uncle Sam. No matter what the source of the cash - whether it's a modest $500 or a meaty $5,000 - you now have the happy task of figuring out what to do with it. The Caribbean is calling ... you can taste that Pina Colada, smell the salty air, feel the palms swaying ...

Last week the bulls finally gave some ground to the bears with the US markets hitting reverse gear on Thursday after making new record highs on the day. There was no obvious reason for the reversal other than the general feeling that things were getting a little ‘frothy’.....

Last week the ECB (European central bank) and MPC (UK central bank) opted to take a ‘wait and see’ approach with interest rates. Both announced that they would be leaving interest rates on hold, preferring to see how their respective economies hold up after the summer turmoil. Many economists are expecting both to move to a loosening bias in the future, with the UK predicted to cut rates before the end of the year.

Last week the Dow Jones poked past the sychologically important 14,000 level. However this push could falter as traders question the strength of the post summer rebound says Betonmarket's Michael Wright.

A new low for the US dollar, and a mixed bag of economic news, gave investors few clues as to what the FOMC might do next with the interest rate.

With the holiday shopping season approaching, crumbling consumer confidence and slumping home sales, could prove to be a bad combination for retailers and the broader economy, according to BetOnMarkets.com’s Michael Wright...
