Dow Naik meski Minyak Melejit

Bukan hanya di survei, naiknya consumer confidence di US ternyata terealisasi dalam kenyataan. Consumer spending di negara paman Sam itu meningkat lebih tinggi dari perkiraan. Hal itu membuat Dow naik 0,79%, meskipun minyak naik di atas $ 118. Sektor keuangan yang diproyeksikan membaik menambah sentimen penguatan Dow.

Berita CNBC ini menunjukkan mengapa minyak naik: Energy companies are bracing for the worst storm to threaten the Gulf of Mexico since 2005 as Tropical Storm Gustav churned toward the heart of U.S. offshore oil production. Lalu, perihal sektor keuangan : Shares of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac rallied for a second day amid growing expectations that the mortgage finance giants will be able to weather the housing storm without a government rescue.

Petikan ini dari Yahoo : Wall Street posted a big advance after the government reported a larger-than-expected increase in orders for big-ticket manufactured goods that indicated the economy is stronger than many investors thought. Durable goods, which also include cars, appliances and machinery, are under scrutiny not only because they reflect business spending, but because they are also an indicator of consumer confidence. The July increase equaled a 1.3 percent rise in June; both months produced the strongest gains since a 4.1 percent leap back in December.

Saya mengucapkan selamat bagi Anda yang membeli saham sektor komoditas & keuangan pada harga di bawah dan terlihat mulai naik ke atas. Potensi kenaikan saham-saham tersebut kian terlihat hari ini, sentimen positif Dow akan berimbas ke IHSG. Kemampuan menganalisa chart dan memprediksikan "arah mata angin" akan bisa mengalirkan rezeki yang konsisten. Disamping itu kesabaran dan niat baik, tentunya akan direstui dari yang di Atas. Amin..:)
