Asia Markets Tokyo stocks rebound in early trade By Mariko Ando, CBS.MarketWatch.com Last Update: 7:45 PM ET Oct 31, 2001 TOKYO (CBS.MW) -- Investors bid up Tokyo share prices Thursday morning in a rally that would snap a four-day losing streak after a smaller-than-expected contraction in the U.S. economy. Shortly after the open, the Nikkei Average rose 58.92 points, or 0.6 percent, to 10,425.22, while the broader TOPIX picked up 0.6 percent to 1,065.77. Market sentiment was assured with the Wednesday's U.S. gross domestic product data, which showed the economy has shrank 0.4 percent in the July-September quarter. The figure was better than economists' projection of a 1 percent fall. Following the release of the data, the Nasdaq firmed 1.4 percent while the Dow lost half a percent. In South Korea, the benchmark Kospi fell 0.2 percent to 536.55 points in early trade. Australia's All Ordinaries Index was trading flat at 3187.70 points. In the currency markets, the dollar was quoted at 122.41 yen early morning Tokyo, little moved from 122.45 yen late Wednesday in New York where it firmed as much as to 122.65 yen. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

yes SS, I agree... GreenSperm is the big problem and consumers are not the ultimate engine in our economy it is business investment consumers are the tail on the dog as long as the world is spinning in unison with recession, business investment is likely to remain moribund the next big stories imho will be bankruptcies not just large US firms with wellknown brand names but large US banks on the brink gonna be reallllly hard to spur econ recovery in such a climate I expect fear will grow, and legitimately so did anyone notice how the Dow and S&P midSept gaps all filled up? if not gappy gaps, then certainly large swoons Dow rose to put density in the chart up to preWTC levels then sputtered rallies built upon real Fed stimulus, illusory Tax stimulus, and US flag waving... just wont sustain itself I wonder who if anyone among pundits or talking TVheads has any credibility remaining ??? Mauldin's 3 Amigos (Junk Bonds, Mfg Cap Utilzn, NAPM prices) are all heading down with no sign of rising an economic recovery is a hope & prayer without the 3 Amigos dancing / jim
