News Headlines:    U.S. stocks fell for the second session in a row following weak earnings or forecasts from Ford, Motorola and Lucent.

Northern Rock lent a record 7.8 billion pounds in the first half of this year and posted a 22 percent surge in pre-tax profits, roughly in line with market expectations. Despite warning that it expects UK house price growth to slow over the next year the bank increased its interim dividend by 15.4 percent to 7.5 pence.

Marconi says tough market conditions reduced its sales to 367 million pounds in the April-June quarter, down 31 percent from a year earlier. They said the lower sales reduced gross margin by two percentage points to hit the quarterly operational performance.

British American Tobacco says it is buying Italian state-owned tobacco company ETI for 2.32 billion euros, a price sources close to the deal say exceeds rival bids by 800 million euros.

Galen Holdings says it is in talks that might lead to a takeover bid for the company.

Morning all from an overcast North Wales. Thanks for the pivots/info TP.

ThePlayboy - 17 Jul 2003 11:22 - 6 of 9

RAPTOR:
For Thursday, downside is favored as the index is expected to be in the c of D down in the large wedge off the October lows. In the short time frames it appears that 1 and 2 of c are complete and thus the 3 of c down should begin with a drop early Thursday possibly followed by a consolidation period before the index drops again to complete the 3 of C. Support below is near 984 with the index expected to fall at least 13 points (possibly more) off the prior day close to 982 before a bounce occurs.

S.Bartley's views for today.

17/07 European action says we are in a strong wave 3 or C down which still has a way to go. Goodish data has helped to prop the futures but I expect any early peak to run out of steam quickly. Also Philly fed later may disappoint. So with the trend currently down and a break of our major rally trendline, you have to say the bears have the upper hand.
