Hi Mrs. Peel,

possibly what the gold sector is trying to say Message 16515733

But in keeping with your point about the deflationary trends that we have been clearly living through...a few
data points:

The deflationary implications of a technology-led slowdown are particularly evident in the third quarter results from the world largest semiconductor maker, Intel. In order to protect recent gains in market share by rival Advanced Micro Devices, Intel has slashed the cost of its Pentium 4 chip by as much as 84% since its November debut, with another wave of cuts expected to hit later this month. Of course, such discounting has found some semblance of credibility as Intel captured 77.5% of the microprocessor market, up from 76.7% in the earlier quarter. At the same time, AMD saw its share pull back to 21.5%, compared with 22.2% in the June period.

.......The next stop on our deflation tour takes us to Singapore. While most of the attention today has been focused on the 30.7% year on year plunge in non-oil domestic exports, we found the 11.5% year on year increase in August retail sales volumes even more interesting. Given that retail prices fell 4% year on year that month, the sharpest drop in the past three months, it seems that National Day-related sales may have been responsible for most of the upside.
