rates unchanged....expected...

"downside risk to growth is smaller and upside risk to inflation has grown" -->> a little more hawkish.... indexes reacted just slightly +ve as the announcement was made...

but as GR stated...a non event immediately...

time for eurocup...

US$273b pulled out of equity funds
Jeffrey Tam; Thursday, June 26, 2008

Money managers around the world have reduced their exposure to equity funds by US$273 billion (HK$2.13 trillion) over the past three months amid untamed global inflation and speculation on a worldwide recession, according to a survey conducted by Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation.

"The story for mainland China is similar - in the very near term, sentiment is likely to be driven by concerns over the government's response to inflation, but the fundamentals for the mainland remain sound," said Bruno Lee, head of wealth management for personal financial services at HSBC.

The survey, which aims to help investors better understand the current investment environment, has been conducted with 12 fund houses, including Franklin Templeton Investments, Societe Generale and Allianz Global Investors Hong Kong.

Fewer money managers believe "cash is king" as they remain confident, long term, on the fundamentals of Asian equities.


"While, in the near term, inflation, slowing global growth and weak sentiment will impose pressure on equity markets, it is believed that the region will remain relatively strong on the back of robust domestic demand and continuing wage growth," said Lee.

From DBS:-

We are also watchful on the Dow. The latest retreat off the 13136 level since late May means that the index has tested the support level around the regional at 11600 for the 3rd time this year.

The short-term resistance that looks to cap an immediate bounce is around 12050. The Dow needs to rise back above 12080 to gain its short-term strength.

If the Dow falls below 11550, more weakness can be expected.
