As always, I will be looking to improve my trading and learning more from other bloggers out there.

WASHINGTON - THE International Monetary Fund (IMF) said on Tuesday turmoil in credit markets could spread, meaning further losses for US banks, and cautioned that risks to global economic growth had increased. 'Financial markets remain under considerable strain, now compounded by a more worrisome macroeconomic environment, weakly capitalised institutions and broad-based deleveraging,' the IMF said in its assessment of global financial markets. It estimated that potential write-downs and losses to banks had reached US$945 billion (S$1.3 trillion) by March 2008. The IMF said threats to global financial stability had increased and potential for spillovers to emerging markets increased through funding channels and trade links.
