Last week was characterized with relatively empty US calendar aside from the Interest rate statement that was left unchanged. But the biggest event of last week was no doubt the declaration of the BNP Paribas bank, that all withdrawals are now frozen, and there shall be almost no liquidity in the European market. This indicates that the Sub-Prime crisis in the US is starting to be a much more global problem, as it is now bursting in full scale in Europe as well. The BNP statement caused the EUR/USD to fall down more than 150 pips, it appears that the fall was originated from EUR weakness far more than USD strength, yet it marked a bullish trading day for the USD all across the board.
As for this week, the US calendar will be quite full with major events, starting today with the US Retail Sales which is very important as it makes up a large portion of consumer spending, which is a major driver of the economy and has a sizable impact on GDP. Traders pay close attention to Retail Sales b

Six of the top 12 spam-relaying countries are now in Europe, together passing along more spam than the US.Overall global spam volume grew about 9% in the second quarter of 2007 over the same period in 2006.More nations are now contributing to the problem of spam-relaying, and the UK is back among the top spam-relaying countries in the world after having dropped out of the top 10 in 2006.The number of Asian nations relaying spam meant that Asia was the biggest spam-relaying continent during Q2 2007. Europe has reduced its spam-relaying percentage, but Asia, North America, South America and Africa all grew in the amount of spam they sent along.
One recent afternoon, as I combed the racks at American Apparel, I realized that I owned a substantial portion of the collection—in 1981, at the age of 11. I was a committed jock: Even when I wasn't headed to gymnastics or tennis lessons, I favored athletic-inspired fashions. I also grew up in New Jersey. A typical childhood outfit for me is easily approximated with items from the rapidly expanding chain store. For example: the Interlock Running Short in kelly green and white ($22); Unisex Calf-High Tube Socks, also in kelly green and white ($8); the Sheer Jersey Shoulder Tie Tube Top in pastel rainbow and white ($14, reduced from $28); the California Fleece Track Jacket in navy and white (Men's Department, $44); and the Flex Terry Headband ($6)—Bjorn Borg was my hero and locker poster boy.
