O/T Explosion on Wall Street. A bomb was ignited in front of Barclay Bank. No one was hurt at this early hour. Police and Bomb squad all over the place.

<<How much longer will the stock market ignore this?:>> Only well after "Joe Average Six-Pack" has had his paycheck chewed in half by inflation & has gone to his supervisor "Jane Net Stock Speculator" and demanded a 3rd or 4th pay raise, & someone fighting for office brings up the ugly "I." word(inflation). When one of the hungry starts to question (in the broad media)the numbers put out by those currently in power and saying the new age mantra of "There is no inflation" is a LIE, then the market will notice! Note: it may have gone on for some time before it hits the media! IMHO - The only thing that saves our nation & our broad economy is that there is an election cycle, and some truth comes out & more questions are asked.

<<How much longer will the stock market ignore this?:>> Markets News / Commodities PALLADIUM: Prices up on supply fears By Paul Solman and Robert Corzine Palladium fixed at a record $580 an ounce in London, as fears about Russian supplies again fuelled buying. The metal's rise has been remarkable. It has jumped $100 in the past two weeks, and was only just above $300 at the start of the year. Platinum resumed its climb after Tuesday's breather, scaling a new 11-year high of $548 an ounce at the afternoon fix. Gold also strengthened, fixing at $308.60 an ounce, up $12.35 on Tuesday afternoon. AngloGold, the largest gold producer, announces quarterly results today, and the bullion market will be watching to see if the company makes any commitment to wind down its hedging position in the wake of Placer Dome's move at the end of last week. Meanwhile, French nickel producer Eramet declared force majeure on deliveries from its smelters in New Caledonia because of a labour dispute. The announcement came after the London Metal Exchange had closed, but expectations of the move boosted prices during trading and nickel hit a 4«-year high of $9,250 a tonne. Rampant demand from stainless steel producers will push prices even higher, possibly up to $12,000 during the next 12 to 18 months, Credit Lyonnais Rouse said in its latest metals price forecast for 2000-01.(cont) ft.com
