After powerful growth on stock markets of Asia and Europe shares on Wall Street have also opened with growth. “The pace is obviously set by Asia. Nikkei has broken through a mark of 16.000 points that is the good psychological factor for investors in the USA”, - Barry Ritkholtz from Maxim Group told. Good news for investors became that for 3 quarter the US GDP growth has been revised to smaller side. We shall remind that it became an unexpected surprise for experts who did not expect the changes. Experts forecast that the consumer expenses rise which became one of the main reasons of growth of economy of the USA the last quarter, can be slowed down in October-December on a background of reduction of car purchases and increases in fuel expenses. As a result the shares grew at the tenders on Wednesday, having interrupted a four-day series of losses. Strong results from FedEx corporation have created positive dynamics for transport sector shares. The quarter income has surpassed Wall Street experts’ forecasts, and FedEx papers have grown on 5.2 % up to 103.70. Shares of their competitor United Parcel Service Inc. have risen in price on 1.9 % to 76.62. And the index of the Dow Jones transport companies has achieved a 52-week maximum. Technical shares were also in demand of investors after Goldman Sachs has raised the Apple Computer Inc. profit forecast in 2006. As a result Dow-Jones index of New York stock exchange has grown on 28.18 points and is at a level 10833.73. NASDAQ index has come up on 9.24 points and is at a level 2231.66. S&P 500 index has risen on 3.17 points and is at a level 1262.79. As a result we suggest to keep a temporizing policy. All our previous recommendations hold good: it is necessary to wait for descending correction of Dow-Jones and S&P 500 indexes up to the mentioned levels, and then to buy futures for these indexes.
