Yesterday's EAFE was +.756% - todays EAFE = +.264%. 5 cents would be +.226% and 6 cents would be +.271%. So there's no FV if we are dealing with 5 or 6 cents.

Looks like we had some nice reversals.

Asia and Europe both relatively flat, and when combined with the dollar's slight weakness this morning, should just about be even.
As of 3:52 am, I'd call it -about a wash, maybe even up a penny or two so far.

Early estimate: down .009% or no change.
Dollar is down modestly, off-setting the loss in the OSM.

It looks like the dollar might have peeked yesterday and it's now about to fall. Tonight, the BOJ might make this happen. I think the concensus is about 70-65% for a hold on rates. If they hold, the Nikkei will rally and the dollar/yen will probably have a knee jerk up but will eventually fall since it has been up for the last week and a half and is now hitting support. Anybody in agreement with me or am I just dreaming?

Up .169% or 4 cents.

European stocks recently have attracted investors because of robust company earnings, stronger balance sheets because of corporate restructurings and a boom in merger and acquisition activity. Japan on the other hand, is still waiting for a rise in consumer spending and an end to capital out/flow to help stocks, but they are likely to see lower corporate earnings growth. These two components will balance each other and cause the I fund.....

A good "read between the lines" for those choosing the I Fund, and it's double edged sword.

Emerging Opportunities In Emerging Markets
International stocks shot the lights out again last year. For a fifth year in a row, the Morgan Stanley Capital International EAFE Index outpaced the U.S. market. An investment of $10,000 in MSCI's index on Jan. 1, 2002, would now be worth about $20,500. A similar investment in the S&P 500 would be worth just $13,500. Emerging markets such as China and India have been even more rewarding. Your $10,000 would have grown to $36,000 if you invested in Chinese stocks. India? At an annualized 37% clip, you'd have almost $80,000 in your pocket. These are stunning returns by any measure. But as promising as the economic outlook may be for these countries, there's no way their stock markets can continue rising at this pace forever. Corrections are the inevitable, and healthy, result. They allow valuations and fundamentals to fall back into line. They also shake out the "hot money" traders who were merely chasing returns. For long-term investors, these dips, like the one we saw last May, can end up being great buying opportunities. (Continued)

German Consumer Prices Rise 1.7 Percent
FRANKFURT - Germany's consumer price index rose 1.7 percent in 2006 from the previous year, largely driven by higher energy prices, the Federal Statistics Office said Wednesday. The agency, known as Destatis, said that excluding energy prices, the average 2006 year-on-year increase would have been 0.9 percent. Last year, the cost of heating oil, natural gas and petroleum all rose because of increased demand.

Euro-Zone Inflation Steadies
BRUSSELS, Belgium - Inflation in the 12 nations that used the euro in December stayed at 1.9 percent, the same as the previous month, the European Union's statistics agency said Wednesday. Eurostat said higher costs for natural gas were the biggest single factor in the rate, but also cited more expensive restaurants and cafes, electricity and vegetables after a rainy summer ruined some crops.

British Chief: Global Economy to Reform
NEW DELHI - Britain's treasury chief, Gordon Brown, said Wednesday that institutions like the Group of Eight leading nations, the U.N. and the International Monetary Fund must reform to reflect a "new world order" in the global economy. The emergence of countries such as India necessitated changes to the membership and operations of such global bodies, Brown said in an address to Indian business leaders in the county's technology hub, Bangalore.

Foreign Long-Term Investment Down in Nov
WASHINGTON - Net foreign acquisition of long-maturity U.S. securities was $58 billion in November, down 23 percent from $74.9 billion in October, according to a U.S. Treasury Department report released Wednesday. The monthly Treasury report has recently emphasized cross-border acquisitions of securities with maturities of more than one year, including non-market flows such as stock swaps and principal repayment on asset-backed securities. Japan remained the largest holder of U.S. Treasury securities, with its holdings falling $2.2 billion in November to $637.4 billion. China remained the second-largest holder of U.S. Treasurys, as its stake rose to $346.5 billion from $345.0 billion. The U.K. remained in third place with holdings up to $223.5 billion from $207.5 billion.
