米証券、株式売買収入低迷　大手３社６－８月期決算

　【ニューヨーク２３日共同】ゴールドマン・サックスなど米証券大手３社の今年６－８月期決算が２２日、出そろった。米国株式市場の低迷を受けて３社とも株式などのトレーディング（自己売買）に伴う収入が伸び悩み、モルガン・スタンレーは大幅減益となった。
　モルガンは株式など有価証券の自己売買部門が６割を超す大幅減収。企業の合併・買収（Ｍ＆Ａ）、証券引き受けなど投資銀行部門は引き続き堅調だったものの、純利益は３４・０％減の８億３７００万ドル（約９２０億円）と、市場予想を下回り、この日の株式相場急落の要因となった。
　ゴールドマンも「株式をめぐる環境は厳しかった」（財務部門責任者）が、高騰した原油などの商品、債券売買業務で補い、純利益は２９・８％増の８億７９００万ドルを確保。リーマン・ブラザーズは投資銀行部門が好調で、同５億５００万ドルと５・２％の増益だった。
2 ：走る名無しさん：2004/10/12(Tue) 23:32: 米メリルリンチ減収減益・７―９月期
　【ニューヨーク12日共同】米大手証券メリルリンチが12日発表した今年7―9月期決算は、一般企業の売上高に当たる営業収益が前年同期比３.２％減の48億4000万ドル、純利益が８.３％減の9億2000万ドルで減収減益だった。

　夏場の米株式市場の出来高が極めて低調だったことや、市場金利の上昇が収益に響いた。ただ投資信託部門は、手数料収入の増加などで増収増益を確保した。
3 ：走る名無しさん：2004/10/12(Tue) 23:34: ＮＹ原油、一時54.45ドルまで上昇
　【シカゴ＝山下真一】12日早朝のニューヨーク・マーカンタイル取引所（ＮＹＭＥＸ）の時間外電子取引で原油先物が急伸、初めて1バレル54ドルを超えた。国際エネルギー機関（ＩＥＡ）が発表した石油市場月報で、今年の世界需要が予想以上に拡大することが判明、市場の需給懸念が一段と強まった。ＷＴＩ（ウエスト・テキサス・インターミディエート）で期近の11月物は一時、前週末に比べ1.14ドル高い54.45ドルまで上昇した。
　ナイジェリアで続く大規模なストライキや、ハリケーンの影響が残るメキシコ湾で原油生産の復旧が遅れていることも引き続き材料になった。ＩＥＡは来年については原油需要の予想を下方修正したが、市場に根強い需給ひっ迫懸念は緩和されなかった。
4 ：走る名無しさん：2004/10/12(Tue) 23:45: DJ-インテルの７－９月期決算、利益率悪化を予想する声も
ノースカロライナ州シャーロット（ダウ・ジョーンズ）半導体最大手の米インテル（Nasdaq：INTC）、ヤフーは、12日の米株式市場の取引終了後に７－９月期決算を発表する。売上高と１株利益は、予想に沿った数字となるとみられているが、過剰在庫と値引きの影響で粗利益率が同社の見通しを下回ると予想する声も聞かれる。
７－９月期は通常、半導体メーカーの業績が季節的に上向く時期だが、インテルは需要の減少を受け、９月初めに売上高見通しを86億－92億ドルから83億－86億ドルに下方修正した。この下方修正の時点で同社は、同四半期の過剰在庫を１億－１億5000万ドルと見積もっていた。また粗利益率の見通しを60％から58％に引き下げたが、一部のアナリストはこれよりさらに低い数字となる可能性があるとみている。
トムソン・ファースト・コールがまとめたインテルの７－９月期業績の市場予想平均は、売上高が84億5000万ドル、１株利益は27セント。前年同期の実績は、売上高が78億3000万ドル、１株利益は25セントだった。
今年７－９月期は、インテルはじめ半導体メーカー各社にとって厳しかった。多くの企業が在庫の積み上がりから業績見通しを下方修正し、一部は10－12月期まで困難な時期が続くとみている。
アナリストによるとインテルの過剰在庫の多くはフラッシュメモリー。同社は、失った顧客を呼び戻そうとフラッシュメモリーの価格を大幅に引き下げた。同業のアドバンスト・マイクロ・デバイシズ(NYSE：AMD）はさらに価格を引き下げて反撃に出ようとしている。
スミス・バーニーのアナリスト、グレン・ユン氏もインテルの粗利益率の改善について年内は「小幅」にとどまるとみており、７－９月期は58.5％、10－12月期は59.5％と予想している。また過剰在庫は10－12月期に縮小し始めるとみている。

　Johnson & Johnson's Third-Quarter Profit Is Up 13 Percent on Jump in Worldwide Sales
　NEW BRUNSWICK, N.J. (AP) -- Profits at Johnson & Johnson rose 13 percent for the third quarter on a 10.5 percent increase in worldwide sales, the health care giant reported Tuesday.
　Johnson & Johnson , which makes contact lenses, surgical products, contraceptives and baby and skin care products, had a net income of $2.34 billion, or 78 cents per share, for the July-September quarter, compared to $2.07 billion, or 69 cents a share, for the same 2003 period.
　That beat, by 2 cents per share, the consensus forecast of analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call.
　Worldwide sales grew to $11.55 billion, up from $10.46 billion a year earlier, although 2.8 percentage points of the increase was from favorable currency exchange rates due to the weak dollar. International sales growth was 10.8 percent, while U.S. sales growth was 5.9 percent.
　Of its three major divisions, only pharmaceutical posted double-digit gains, with worldwide sales of $5.5 billion representing a 13.4 percent increase. Consumer products sales rose 9.9 percent, to $2.02 billion, while medical devices and diagnostics rose 7 percent to $4.04 billion.
　Shares of J&J rose 32 cents to $55.68 in morning trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
6 ：走る名無しさん：2004/10/13(Wed) 00:04: 9月の米雇用統計、雇用者数の伸びが事前予想を下回る

　［ワシントン　８日　ロイター］　９月の米雇用統計は、非農業部門雇用者数の伸びが事前予想を下回る９万６０００人となった。これを受け、この日の米大統領候補者討論会では、経済の方向性に関する激しい議論の応酬が見込まれる。
　一方、米労働省が発表した雇用統計によると、９月の失業率は５．４％と、前月から変わらず。
エコノミストらの事前予想は、非農業部門雇用者数が１４万８０００人増、失業率は５．４％だった。
　８─９月には４つのハリケーンが米南東部を襲ったが、労働省は、ハリケーンの被害が雇用の伸びを抑制した可能性はあるものの、９月の雇用統計を「著しく変えるほどではない」と述べた。
　また、来年発表される雇用統計の年次改定に関する速報によると、２００４年３月までの１年間に、雇用者数がこれまで考えられていたよりも約２３万６０００人増えた。労働省は、来年２月に発表するベンチマークの年次改定にこの修正データを組み込む、という。
　修正データを組み込んだ結果、２００１年１月のブッシュ大統領就任以来に失われた雇用は約５８万５０００人。
7 ：走る名無しさん：2004/10/13(Wed) 00:17: 業績好調を維持し増収増益＝米ＧＥ７―９月期〔ＢＷ〕

＊米ゼネラル・エレクトリック（ＮＹＳＥ：ＧＥ）の２００４年第３・四半期（７―９月）決算は、売上高が３８３億ドルと前年同期比１５％増、純利益が４０億５０００万ドルと同１％増（０３年の会計処理方法変更の影響を除いた比較）となった。純利益では、数事業からの撤退とハリケーン損害があった保険部門が足を引っ張ったが、同社１１部門中８部門が増益となった。キャッシュフローは、各部門の好調とキャッシュマネジメントの効果に加えて、ＧＥキャピタル・サービシズからの配当収入もあり、前年同期比３２％の大幅な伸びとなった。期間受注高も２７％増となった。同社では増益は第４・四半期および来年も持続すると見ている。０４年通年の１株当たり利益は１．５７―１．６０ドルと予想している。
8 ：走る名無しさん：2004/10/13(Wed) 00:23: WSJ-カルフール、日本事業売却で現金調達へ
　パリ（ウォール・ストリート・ジャーナル）米ウォルマート・ストアーズ（NYSE：WMT）に次ぐ世界第２位の小売りチェーンである仏カルフール（12017.FR）が、日本事業の売却を計画している。欧州で競争が激化し同社は売り上げの低迷にあえいでおり、現金を調達するのが目的だ。
　日本事業は仏本社の計画に比べて伸び悩み、現在は８店舗にとどまっている。
　欧州では、８月と９月の販売が特に本拠地のフランスで不振だった。このため一部の小売りアナリストは、同社は今期の売上高、純利益ともに予想を下方修正するとみている。早ければ12日、第３四半期決算とともに不動産を含めた日本事業の売却を発表する可能性がある。
　同社のダニエル・ベルナール会長は１カ月前、てこ入れ策を発表したばかり。同社は欧州の個人消費の伸び悩み、ディスカウント各社との競争激化、ウォルマートの事業拡大に直面し、苦戦している。ディスカウント各社にシェアを奪われ、市場拡大の読みを誤り業績に打撃となった。
　　日本事業の売却先としては、西友に出資して以来日本事業の拡大に力を注いでいるウォルマート、日本最大の小売りチェーンでウォルマートに対抗しようとしているイオン（8267.TO）、最近日本で小規模の出資をした英テスコ（TSCO.LN）などが考えられるが、各社はいずれもコメントしていない。
9 ：走る名無しさん：2004/10/13(Wed) 00:26: ダイエー再建支援、米ＪＰモルガンなども名乗り
　ダイエーの自主再建策を支援する民間スポンサー候補として名乗りを上げている米リップルウッド・ホールディングスと三菱地所のグループに、米投資銀行ＪＰモルガン・チェースと同モルガン・スタンレーが新たに加わる方向で調整に入ったことが１２日、明らかになった。
　民間スポンサー候補としては、リップルウッドなどのグループに加え、ドイツ証券、米サーベラス、丸紅のグループと、米ゴールドマン・サックス、米ウォルマート・ストアーズのグループという３つの連合体が名乗りを上げ、ダイエーの資産査定を進めている。
　今月１０日には、このうち、丸紅とウォルマートが連合を組む方向で調整に入ったことが明らかになるなど、候補が集約される動きが出ている。
10 ：走る名無しさん：2004/10/13(Wed) 10:01: インテルの７―９月、15％増益
　【ニューヨーク12日共同】米半導体最大手インテルが12日発表した７―９月期決算によると、売上高は前年同期比8.1％増の84億7100万ドル、純利益は15.０％増の19億600万ドルで増収増益となった。
　主力のパソコン向けは不調だったが、好調だった携帯電話やサーバー向けの出荷で補った。ただ同社は、売り上げの伸びは「予想ほどではなかった」としており、10―12月期の売上高は86億―92億ドルと、前年同期比で減収となる可能性もあるとの見通しを示した。
11 ：走る名無しさん：2004/10/13(Wed) 10:06: WSJ-米ヤフー、７－９月期純益急増、広告収入とグーグル株売却益で
　ニューヨーク（ウォール・ストリート・ジャーナル）米ヤフー(Nasdaq:YHOO)が12日発表した７－９月期決算は、純利益が前年同期比で４倍近く急増した。オンライン広告が引き続き好調だったことや、ライバルのグーグル(Nasdaq:GOOG)の新規株式公開（IPO）に絡み、保有するグーグル株を一部売却したことによる特別利益が寄与した。また、通期の売り上げ見通しを上方修正した。
純利益は２億5330万ドル（前年同期は6500万ドル）、１株利益は17セント（同５セント）に達した。うち、グーグル株売却益が１億2900万ドルを占めた。グーグル株売却益と税制優遇措置などの特殊要因を除いたベースの１株利益は９セントで、調査会社トムソン・ファースト・コールがまとめたアナリスト予想の平均値と一致した。
　売上高も９億0670万ドルと、前年同期の３億5680万ドルから急増した。昨年買収したオーバーチュア・サービシズ社のオンライン広告技術が売り上げ拡大に寄与した。広告の提携相手への手数料支払い後ベースの売上高は前年同期比84％増の６億5500万ドル。市場予想の６億4420万ドルを上回った。
　国際部門の売上高は前年同期比341％増の２億5200万ドル。減価償却・償却前営業利益も同122％増の２億6000万ドルに上った。
　2004年通期については、手数料を除いたベースの売上高見通しをこれまでの24億6000万－25億4000万ドルから、25億2000万－25億7000万ドルに上方修正した。
決算発表は株式市場の取引終了後に行われた。ヤフーの12日終値は前日比21セント（0.61％）高の34.23ドル。その後の時間外取引では一段高となっており、ナスダック・ドット・コムによると、34.78ドルをつけている。

　NEW YORK (AP) -- Investors welcomed a sharp dip in oil prices and positive earnings news from Intel Corp. Yahoo! Inc. and McDonald's Corp. Wednesday, sending stocks higher in early trading.
　Intel surged $1.02 to $21.30 after beating Wall Street forecasts by 3 cents per share, although analysts' estimates were reduced after a disappointing mid-quarter update from the semiconductor maker. Other chip stocks also gained, with Advanced Micro Devices Inc. climbing 40 cents to $14.10 and National Semiconductor Corp. rising 56 cents to $15.79.
　McDonald's said it expects to earn 61 cents per share in the third quarter, crediting a stronger tax situation and better international sales for its upgraded outlook. Analysts had been expecting earnings of 49 cents per share. McDonald's was up 85 cents at $28.40.
　Yahoo! Inc. gained $1.67 to $35.90 after quadrupling its profits from a year ago. The company's earnings of 9 cents per share was in line with Wall Street expectations.
14 ：走る名無しさん：2004/10/14(Thu) 12:14: WSJ-アップル、7-9月期純益倍増、10-12月期見通しも市場予想上回る
　ニューヨーク（ウォール・ストリート・ジャーナル）米パソコン大手のアップルコンピュータ(Nasdaq:AAPL)が13日発表した７－９月期（2004年９月期の第４四半期）決算は、携帯デジタル音楽プレーヤー「iPod（アイポッド）」の人気に伴い売り上げが伸び、純利益が前年同期比２倍強増加した。売上高、１株利益とも市場予想を上回り、10－12月期業績についても市場予想を上回る見通しを示した。
　７－９月期の売上高は前年同期比37％増の23億5000万ドル、純利益は１億0600万ドル（前年同期は4400万ドル）、リストラ関連費を除いた１株利益は27セントとなった。調査会社トムソン・ファースト・コールが集計したアナリスト平均予想は売上高が21億ドル、１株利益は18セントだった。
これは７－９月期の業績としては９年間で最も高い水準という。同期の出荷台数はiPodが前年同期比約５倍増の202万台、マッキントッシュは83万6000台となったことから、パソコン基幹製品から収益性の高いデジタル音楽市場への転換が鮮明になった。
　同社が世界コンピューター市場に占めるシェアはここ数四半期で縮小し続けており、「iMac G5」の発売が９月にずれ込んで新学期商戦を逸したことでさらに後退した。
アップルのipodとオンラインミュージックストア「iTunes（アイチューンズ）」は今のところデジタル音楽市場で優位を保っているが、成長著しい市場には競争勢力も台頭している。同社はソニー(NYSE:SNE)などとの競争力を維持するため、iPodを値下げした。ソニーが９月に発表した最新型ネットワークウォークマン「NW-HD２」は20GBのハードディスクを内蔵し、最大約１万3000曲が保存可能だ。
アップルは10－12月期（2005年９月期の第１四半期）業績見通しについては、売上高が28億－29億ドル、１株利益は39－42セントとした。ファースト・コールがまとめたアナリスト予想の平均値は、売上高が25億2000万ドル、１株利益は28セント。
　決算は株式市場の取引終了後に発表された。アップルの13日終値は前日比1.46ドル（3.81％）高の39.75ドル。その後の時間外取引では一段高となり、ナスダック・ドット・コムによると、米東部時間午後６時29分現在、42.41ドルをつけている。

　But the speculators held responsible for a two-year run-up in metals prices had second thoughts as commodities extended this week's slump. Aluminum maker Alcoa (AA) weakened 3%, while copper miner Phelps Dodge (PD) sagged 9% after an 11% one-day drop in the price of its favorite commodity. Exxon Mobil (XOM) spilled 2%. U.S. Steel (X) cooled off 5%.

　WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. trade deficit, propelled by a record foreign oil bill, surged to $54 billion in August, the second highest level in history. The politically sensitive deficit with China hit a new high as American retailers upped their orders for cell phones, toys and televisions.
　The Commerce Department said the August trade deficit in goods and services was 6.9 percent higher than a $50.5 billion imbalance in July. A small 0.1 percent rise in exports was dwarfed by a 2.5 percent jump in imports.
　In a second economic report, the Labor Department said the number of Americans filing new claims for unemployment benefits rose by 15,000 last week to a seasonally adjusted level of 352,000. The four-week moving average of claims, which smooths out weekly changes, rose by 4,000 to a seven-month high of 352,000.
　The report on jobless claims reflects a labor market that is continuing to confound economists' expectations. The country added a lower-than-expected 96,000 jobs in September as the unemployment rate held steady at 5.4 percent.

Abbott Labs's 3Q Profits in Line With Expectations, Aided by Strong Medical Products Sales
　ABBOTT PARK, Ill. (AP) -- Health-care products manufacturer Abbott Laboratories posted third-quarter results Thursday that were in line with Wall Street expectations, aided by the company's spin-off of its hospital products business and strong pharmaceutical and medical products sales.
　Quarterly earnings rose to $804.1 million, or 51 cents per share, from $761.2 million, or 48 cents per share, a year ago. Excluding items, the company posted earnings of 53 cents per share in the latest quarter, compared with 49 cents last year.

26 ：走る名無しさん：2004/10/14(Thu) 22:21: U.S. Jobless Claims Rose 15,000; More Than Expected
　WASHINGTON -- The number of U.S. workers filing first-time applications for unemployment benefits rebounded last week, suggesting the labor-market recovery remains fitful.
　Initial jobless claims rose by 15,000 to a seasonally adjusted level of 352,000 in the week that ended Oct. 9, the Labor Department said Thursday. The four-week average, which smoothes out weekly fluctuations, rose by 4,000 to a seven-month high of 352,000.
　A Labor Department statistician said the increase last week partly reflected difficulties in making seasonal adjustments to the numbers. Those difficulties, he said, may have exaggerated the decline of 35,000 reported for the week of Oct. 2.
　The size of the latest increase, in any case, surprised Wall Street. The average forecast of economists surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires and CNBC called for initial claims to rise by just 5,000. Over the last few months, the pace of job growth has proved disappointing despite the Federal Reserve's assertion that the economy has "regained some traction.

　SANTA CLARA, Calif. -(Dow Jones)- Sun Microsystems Inc. (SUNW) posted a narrowed loss for its fiscal first quarter, despite heavy restructuring charges, and the company reported its second consecutive quarter of revenue growth.
　In a press release Thursday, Sun reported a quarterly loss of $174 million, or 5 cents a share, for the period ended Sept. 26, narrower than a loss of $286 million, or 9 cents a share, a year earlier.
　The latest first quarter included a number of items, most notably a $108 million charge for work-force and real-estate restructuring as well as an $82 million litigation-settlement charge. Excluding items, earnings would have been $13 million, or less than 1 cent a share, beating analysts' mean estimate.
　Analysts polled by Thomson First Call, on average, predicted the company would post a first-quarter loss of 3 cents a share, before items.
　Although Sun had overhauled its product line in recent months, some analysts though that wasn't enough for the company to surprise on the upside.

　米大統領選の行方を正確に予測するとして注目されている市場がある。米アイオワ大が運営する電子市場で取引されている「米大統領選先物」だ。１５日深夜（日本時間１６日昼）現在の価格でみると、ブッシュ大統領の再選確率は約５８％という評価だ。
　同大は８８年の大統領選の際、学生に市場取引を経験させることと、市場でどのように価格が形成されるかを研究する目的で、学生を対象に先物取引を開始。９２年に米商品先物取引委員会の認可を得て一般にも開放した。１人５～５００ドルの範囲で投資できる。同大によると現在、約３千人が計３０万ドル（約３３００万円）を運用している。
　取引されている先物商品は複数あり、「勝者全取り」の場合、当選した候補に投資していると一口１ドルを得られるが、落選した候補への投資は戻ってこない。１５日深夜現在の価格は、ブッシュ大統領５８．０セント、民主党候補のケリー上院議員は４２．２セント。ブッシュ大統領に一口投資し、大統領が再選されれば、差額の４２セントが利益になるが、落選すれば５８セントの損になる。
　これとは別に、両候補の得票比率を予測する先物もある。同大によると、市場の最終的な比率予測と選挙結果の差は、過去の平均で１．３％。世論調査は選挙結果と２～３％の差があり、市場の方が正確だという。
　運営にかかわっている同大のトーマス・リーツ教授は市場の予測が正確な理由について、市場参加者は世論調査結果をはじめ経済情勢などあらゆる情報にもとづいて予測していることを指摘し、「投資家はお金をかけているから真剣だ」と説明している。

IBM reports its third quarter earnings after the bell today. The Thomson First Call average estimate is for earnings of $1.14 a share on revenue of $23.4 billion.
3M
3M (NYSE:MMM - News) , the first Dow component to report earnings this week, did little for investor confidence by posting third quarter results below analyst expectations, and warning on the fourth quarter.
Shares of the diversified industrial giant dropped 3.5 percent, to $75.25 in pre-market trading on Instinet.
Lexmark
Lexmark (LXK2) shares sagged 3% in preliminary dealings as a disappointing fourth-quarter outlook overshadowed a 50% income rise. The printer maker could earn up to a dime-per-share less than the consensus estimate, and that only with the aid of a one-time tax benefit. In an interview with Reuters, the boss blamed a "very weak consumer market." The company also noted "the potential for aggressive price competition" as rival Hewlett-Packard (HPQ3) tries to squeeze what growth it can from its own lucrative printing-supplies business.
Mattel
The corporate toy department spread no joy, what with Mattel (MAT4) and Hasbro (HAS5) reporting matching 2% sales drops and trimming holiday expectations. "As consumers respond to economic uncertainty, many retailers have been reluctant to take inventory risk for the holiday season," said Mattel's boss. His counterpart at Hasbro complained of an "uncertain retail environment." Both stocks were bid lower ahead of the opening bell.
Delphi
DETROIT (AP) -- Delphi Corp., the world's largest automotive supplier, said Monday it lost $114 million in the third quarter, reflecting lower North American vehicle production and higher material costs.
The July-September loss, which amounted to 20 cents a share, was far less than the loss of $353 million, or 63 cents a share, posted in the year-ago quarter when Delphi took a $356 million charge for restructuring.
Excluding $25 million in restructuring charges in the most recent quarter, Troy-based Delphi posted a loss of $66 million, or 12 cents a share, in line with the Wall Street consensus compiled by Thomson First Call.

　ニューヨーク（ウォール・ストリート・ジャーナル）米IBM(NYSE:IBM)が18日発表した７－９月期決算は、増収となったものの、訴訟の和解関連費用がこれを相殺したため、純利益は前年同期比でほぼ横ばいにとどまった。７－９月期は主要事業部門で売り上げが伸び、同社は2004年通期の業績見通しを上方修正した。
　７－９月期の継続事業ベースの純利益は前年同期比0.9％増の18億ドル（前年同期は17億8500万ドル）、１株利益は1.06ドル（同1.02ドル）となった。これには年金訴訟の和解関連費３億2000万ドル（１株当たり11セント）が含まれる。
　継続事業ベースの売上高は前年同期比8.9％増の234億2900万ドルとなった。増収分の半分近くは為替要因によるものだった。為替要因を除いたベースでは５％の増収だった。
　年金関連費用を除いた１株利益は1.17ドル。調査会社トムソン・ファースト・コールが集計したアナリスト平均予想は１株利益が1.14ドル、売上高は234億ドルだった。

　The New York-based company said Monday that it earned $79.3 million, or 21 cents per share, during the three months ended in September. That compared with net income of $61.4 million, or 17 cents per share, at the same time last year.

　Kraft said improved sales of its U.S. products show its restructuring is starting to pay off.
　Net earnings for the July-through-September quarter were $779 million, or 46 cents a share, down from $810 million, or 47 cents a share, for the same period a year ago.
　That was a penny higher than the consensus estimate of analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call, who have been watching for a promised second-half recovery as Kraft revamps its product offerings and moves to become more diet-conscious.

　Despite lower energy costs, U.S. consumer price inflation accelerated in September, rising 0.2 percent, the Labor Department said. Excluding volatile food and energy prices, inflation rose 0.3 percent, the most since April, largely because hotel prices soared.
　Economists were expecting both the CPI and the core CPI to rise 0.2 percent, according to a survey of 37 economists by CBS MarketWatch.
　Also, U.S. homebuilders slowed their pace of new construction in September, bringing housing starts lower by 6 percent to an annual pace of 1.898 million on a seasonally adjusted basis, the Commerce Department said.
　Economists had expected a decline to 1.93 million starts, according to a survey conducted by CBS MarketWatch.

　Still, the company raised its full-year earnings guidance.
　The nation's second-biggest automaker said Tuesday it earned 15 cents a share in the July-September quarter, compared with a loss of $25 million, or 1 cent a share, a year ago.
　Excluding special items, Ford's third quarter earnings amounted to $537 million, or 28 cents a share, compared with a profit of $278 million, or 15 cents a share, a year ago.
　The 28 cents a share in the most recent quarter doubled the consensus estimate of 14 cents from Wall Street analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call.

　Altria's Third-Quarter Profit Rises, Helped by Higher Equity Income From SABMiller
　NEW YORK (AP) -- Tobacco and food giant Altria Group Inc.'s third-quarter profit rose 6.3 percent, helped by higher equity income from brewer SABMiller, favorable foreign exchange rates and a lower tax rate.
　The parent company of Marlboro cigarettes and Kraft Foods on Tuesday also narrowed its full-year earnings outlook, raising the floor of its previous range.
　For the third quarter ended Sept. 30, Altria earned $2.65 billion, or $1.29 a share, compared with $2.49 billion, or $1.22 a share, in the same quarter a year earlier.
　Revenue rose 8.5 percent to $22.73 billion from $20.94 billion. A survey of analysts by Thomson First Call had forecast that revenue would decline to $20.67 billion.
　However, Kellogg said he would remove a 2-cents-per-share benefit from a change in tax rate and a 2-cent charge for an asset impairment. These would essentially cancel each other out. He would also take out a gain of 5 cents a share form sales of investments at SABMiller. That reduces the company's earnings to $1.24 a share from $1.29 a share.

　HOUSTON (AP) -- Continental Airlines Inc. on Tuesday reported a $16 million third-quarter loss, which included $22 million in special charges related to retirement of leased MD-80 aircraft.
　The world's sixth-largest airline also said it expects to post "significant" losses for all of 2004 and 2005 unless the current environment improves.
　Continued high fuel prices and government regulation were also cited as factors contributing to the loss of 24 cents per share in the quarter for the airline, which is based in Houston. The carrier posted earnings of $133 million, or $2.04 per share, for the same quarter one year earlier.
　Excluding the special charges and including a $15 million gain relating to its Orbitz holdings, the airline said it earned $6 million, or 8 cents per share for the quarter. That compared favorably to the mean estimate of a 17-cent per-share loss expected by analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call.

　Marsh & McLennan Comments on Incentive Fees
　Marsh & McLennan: Incentive Fees Made Up $1.2B in Revenue, Cessation Will Reduce Operating Income
　NEW YORK (AP) -- The company at the center of a probe into insurance brokerage fees says it took in more than $1.2 billion in incentive payments over the past 18 months and that its decision to stop using such fees will reduce operating income.
　Marsh & McLennan Companies Inc. disclosed late Monday that its Marsh Inc. insurance unit collected $845 million of such fees in 2003, and another $420 million through June 30 this year.
　The fees, which are over and above ordinary commissions, have been paid by insurance companies to brokers, mainly for steering profitable clients the insurer's way. New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer sued Marsh & McLennan last week over the fees as well as for bid rigging, and said the investigation extends to several large insurers.
　Spitzer's civil suit says the "placement service agreements," also known as contingent commissions or market service agreements, had led to corporate customers not getting the best prices on property and casualty policies.
　New York-based Marsh & McLennan has since ended the practice, and this week two major insurance companies named in Spitzer's probe -- New York-based American International Group Inc. and Bermuda-based ACE Ltd. -- said they also have stopped using such incentives.
62 ：走る名無しさん：2004/10/19(Tue) 23:49: Greenspan: Home Prices Not Hurting Economy
　Greenspan Says High Household Debt Levels and Surging Home Prices Not Hurting U.S. Economy
　WASHINGTON (AP) -- The record level of debt being carried by American households and soaring home prices do not appear to represent serious threats to the U.S. economy, Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan said Tuesday.
　Greenspan said that high levels of personal bankruptcies were a concern because they indicated "pockets of distress" among American households. But he said the vast majority of U.S. consumers "appear able to calibrate their borrowing and spending to minimize financial difficulties."
　In a speech before America's Community Bankers, the organization that represents smaller banks in the country, Greenspan sought to play down worries about the high debt levels being carried by American households as a percentage of their after-tax incomes and the steep increases in home prices in recent years.
　Some economists have expressed concerns that the big rise in home prices could represent a bubble that may deflate just as the stock market bubble did starting in the spring of 2000.
　Greenspan, however, said it was unlikely that either the high level of household debt or the big rise in housing prices represented serious threats to the economy because Americans appeared to have sufficient resources to keep meeting their loan payments.
　"Short of a significant fall in overall household income or in home prices, debt servicing is unlikely to become destabilizing," Greenspan said.
　Greenspan said that it would take "a large, and historically most unusual" decline in home prices to wipe out the equity that Americans have in their homes. He said about three-fourths of all mortgages are taken out by buyers who put up a 20 percent downpayment, which would be enough to cover even a very significant drop in home prices.
　He also said it was more difficult to generate a nationwide housing price bubble because of different forces at play around the country, but he conceded that price bubbles could be created by conditions in local markets.
　"While local economies may experience significant speculative price imbalances, a national severe price distortion seems most unlikely in the United States, given its size and diversity," Greenspan said.
　Greenspan said he did not want to totally dismiss the threats to the U.S. economy from increased levels of consumer debt, but he said that some overall statistical measures seemed to be overstating the problem.
　He noted that household debt has been rising faster than incomes for at least the last 50 years as Americans have enjoyed rising levels of discretionary income, which they have used to buy more and more items on credit.
　Greenspan said that one factor pushing up debt levels has been the increase in the number of Americans switching from renting to owning their own homes in recent years as the housing industry has enjoyed record sales levels driven by the lowest mortgage rates in more than four decades.
　Overall, Greenspan said, "Household finances appear to be in reasonably good shape."

　Motorola More Than Quadruples Third-Quarter Earnings to $479 Million, Largely on New Handsets
　CHICAGO (AP) -- Motorola Inc., the largest U.S. cell phone maker, more than quadrupled its third-quarter earnings to $479 million thanks largely to new handsets that boosted its sales by 26 percent.
　The results reported Tuesday slightly outpaced analysts' expectations and marked a third consecutive quarter of strong sales and profit gains for the Schaumburg, Ill.-based company. But its stock fell sharply in after-hours trading amid investor concerns about slowing growth in the fourth quarter.
　Net earnings for the July-through-September quarter were $479 million, or 20 cents per share, compared with $116 million, or 5 cents per share, a year earlier. That was a penny per share better than the consensus estimate of analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call.
　Revenues were $8.62 billion, up from $6.83 billion a year ago and about what Wall Street anticipated.
　Motorola shares closed 3 cents higher at $18.75 before the report was released but traded as much as 5 percent lower in extended-hours activity after the company said sales growth would slow to 16 percent to 20 percent in the fourth quarter.

　Excluding one-time items, Delta said it lost $592 million, or $4.73 a share, in the July-September period. On that basis, analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call were expecting a loss of $4.38 a share, an estimate that had been reduced after Delta warned of its loss on Friday.

　The move by the world's largest insurance broker represents the first company fallout from the scandal. Last week, New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer accused Marsh in a civil complaint of cheating corporate clients by rigging bids in arranging their insurance coverage. The day after the charges were filed, Marsh replaced the chairman and chief executive of Marsh Inc., its insurance-brokerage unit, but said it didn't reflect on his performance.
　Marsh suspended William Gilman, executive director of marketing at Marsh Global Broking and a managing director of the huge insurance broker; Greg Doherty, a senior vice president in Marsh Global Broking's excess casualty division; and Edward McNenney, a brokerage executive, according to the person familiar with the matter. Also suspended was Samantha Gilman, Mr. Gilman's daughter. Mr. Gilman didn't return phone calls at home or on his work machine. Mr. Doherty didn't return calls. Mr. McNenney and Marsh declined to comment. Ms. Gilman couldn't be reached to comment.

　In an internal memorandum issued late Tuesday, Chief Executive Charles Prince announced Mr. Maughan, head of the bank's international operations; Thomas Jones, chief executive of Citigroup Asset Management; and Peter Scaturro, chief executive of Citigroup Private Bank, will leave the company.
　The departures represent the most-decisive move by Mr. Prince to set a new tone at the world's largest financial-services firm, which in recent years has been battered by a series of regulatory problems. In recent weeks, Mr. Prince has said he needed to be "talking about values" far more often to Citigroup employees around the globe, and said questionable behavior would be dealt with harshly.
　Last month, Japanese regulators charged widespread wrongdoing in the way Citigroup treated its private-banking customers in Japan. The charges came as a particular embarrassment to Mr. Prince, who had been attempting to persuade investors that the regulatory problems of recent years were a thing of the past.

　For the three months ended Sept. 30, the Redmond-based company reported earnings of $2.9 billion, or 27 cents per share, compared with earnings of $2.61 billion, or 24 cents per share, in the same period a year earlier.
　The most recent quarterly earnings included a stock-based compensation expense of 5 cents per share. Without that, the company would have earned 32 cents per share.
　Analysts polled by Thomson First Call had been expecting earnings of 30 cents per share, with estimates between 29 cents and 32 cents per share, on revenue of nearly $9 billion.

　Merck Profit Falls After Vioxx Recall, Eli Lilly Expands Layoffs on Poor Sales of Zyprexa
　NEW YORK (AP) -- Merck & Co. profits plunged in the third quarter in the wake of the recall of its Vioxx arthritis drug and Eli Lilly & Co. expanded a layoff to 1,000 workers because of falling sales of its anti-psychotic medicine Zyprexa. Both show the perils of drug makers relying on a handful of blockbuster medicines.
　European pharmaceutical companies also reporting earnings on Thursday fared better. Novartis AG reported a 21 percent profit rise, thanks to strong sales of the hypertension drug Diovan and cancer drugs. And AstraZeneca PLC said its net profit rose 51 percent even after federal regulators in the United States refused to approve the sale of Exanta, an anticoagulant that had been touted as a potential best seller.
　Lilly shares fell over 4 percent on Thursday, and Merck's stock closed down 0.5 percent. But shares of Novartis and AstraZeneca both closed higher, gaining 0.5 percent and 0.9 percent, respectively. And shares of Schering-Plough Corp., which returned to profitability in the third quarter, closed 1.6 percent higher.

　Google's Third-Quarter Profit More Than Doubles, Reflecting Surge in Online Advertising
　SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Google Inc. exceeded analyst expectations in its first quarterly earnings report as a public company, propelled by a continued surge in online advertising distributed by its Internet-leading search engine.
　The Mountain View-based company said Thursday that it earned $52 million, or 19 cents per share, during the three months ended in September. That compared to $20.4 million, or 8 cents per share, at the same time last year.
　The results marked Google's first financial review since completing its closely watched initial public offering in August. The profit included one-time charges to account for stock-based compensation and a previously announced settlement of a patent dispute with rival Yahoo Inc.
　Without those charges, Google told analysts during a conference call that it would have earned 70 cents per share.
　That was well above the mean estimate of 56 cents per share among analysts polled by Thomson First Call. Analyst forecasts had varied widely because Google hadn't provided any previous financial outlook and management has vowed to continue that policy.

Wireless Equipment Giant LM Ericsson Reports Solid 3Q Profit, Says Outlook Improving
　STOCKHOLM, Sweden (AP) -- Wireless equipment maker LM Ericsson posted a third-quarter profit that was in line with analysts' expectations and said its mobile networks were expected to show signs of slight growth in the coming months.
　The world's largest supplier of equipment for wireless phone networks reported a profit of $666.6 million, or 4 cents a share for the July-September period compared with a loss in the same period last year.
　Sales reached $4.4 billion, up 14 percent from a year ago.
　Shares of Ericsson were down 6.7 percent to $2.91 during early trading on the Stockholm exchange as bullish investors were reminded that Ericsson's growth, while expected to gain slightly through the rest of the year and into 2005, wasn't going to explode as the pent-up spending by telecom operators levels off.

Oil, Economy Hot Topics on Wall Street This Week; Investors Should Cheer Energy Companies' Reports
　NEW YORK (AP) -- When will oil prices fall? For investors holding energy stocks, there's no rush. But with the third-quarter gross domestic product report coming out this week, the rest of Wall Street would prefer sooner rather than later.
　ECONOMIC DATA:
　Friday's GDP report will certainly dominate the market, especially as major earnings reports begin to trail off. Economists are expecting an optimistic 4 percent increase in the nation's GDP, which is the measure of goods and services produced in the United States. That's up from a 3.3 percent hike in the second quarter.
　On Tuesday, the Conference Board is scheduled to release the latest reading of its consumer confidence index. The index is, not surprisingly, expected to fall to 94.4 in October from a 96.8 reading in September.
　Finally, the Commerce Department will report on orders of durable goods -- products expected to last longer than three years -- which is considered a sign of future manufacturing growth. Orders are expected to have risen 0.5 percent in September, up from a 0.5 percent decrease in August.
　EARNINGS:
　With oil prices making record highs on a weekly basis, petroleum giants Exxon Mobil and ChevronTexaco have been two of the market's top performers. From a low of $40.01 on March 24, Exxon Mobil has risen 21.7 percent to close at $48.70 on Friday. The company, which is scheduled to report its results before Thursday's session, is forecast to earn 84 cents per share for the third quarter, up from the 55 cents per share posted a year ago.
　Likewise, ChevronTexaco has seen a decent run-up in its share price as well, closing Friday at $53.34, up 26 percent from its 2004 low of $42.34 on March 25. Reporting Friday before the session, ChevronTexaco is expected to earn $1.31 per share, up from a profit of 93 cents per share a year ago.
　Among other notable companies announcing earnings in the week ahead, Verizon Communications Corp. is actually expected to post a lower profit than a year ago when it announces its results Thursday morning. Analysts are calling for profits of 64 cents per share for the quarter, down from 67 cents per share last year. Verizon stock has fluctuated widely this year, ranging from $23 to $29 per share, as the Dow component has worked hard to trim costs and boost its wireless business. Shares of Verizon closed Friday at $26.28, down 82 cents.
　Media conglomerate Viacom Inc., announcing earnings Thursday before the session, has seen its stock fall from a 2004 high of $44.61 on Jan. 5 to close at $34.39 on Friday, a loss of 22.9 percent. The company is expected to earn 41 cents per share for the third quarter, up slightly from the 40 cents per share it posted a year ago.
　Other companies posting earnings include:
-- American Express Co. on Monday, expected to earn 69 cents per share, compared with 59 cents a year ago;
-- Halliburton Co. on Tuesday morning, expected to earn 36 cents per share, compared with 32 cents a year ago;
-- Northrup Grumman Corp. on Wednesday before the session, forecast to earn 71 cents per share, up from 61 cents per share a year ago; and
-- Aetna Inc. on Thursday morning, expected to earn $1.73 per share, up substantially from the $1.27 per share profit from a year ago.

　ATLANTA (AP) -- BellSouth Corp., the dominant local phone provider in nine Southeastern states, reported a 14.6 percent drop in third-quarter profit on flat revenue and a continued loss of local access lines.
　The results, announced before the market opened Monday, missed Wall Street expectations.
　BellSouth warned Monday that it would record incremental labor and material costs of roughly $90 million in the fourth quarter due to the hurricanes that hit Florida. The figure is more than double the $38 million of costs BellSouth recognized in the third quarter.
　The Atlanta-based company said the hurricanes affected more than 1.2 million of its residential and business customers.
　BellSouth said it earned $799 million, or 44 cents a share, for the three months ending Sept. 30, compared to a profit of $936 million, or 51 cents a share, in the same period a year ago.
　Excluding one-time items, BellSouth said it earned $893 million, or 49 cents a share. Analysts surveyed by Thomson First Call were expecting earnings of 51 cents a share before one-time items.

　Kimberly-Clark, the maker of Kleenex and Huggies, said it earned $441.3 million or 89 cents per share, compared to $419.7 million or 83 cents per share a year earlier.

The National Association of Realtors reported Monday that after two straight months of declines, sales rose 3.1 percent in September from the previous month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.75 million units, the third-highest showing ever.
　The figures were better than analysts were expecting. They were forecasting sales of previously owned homes to clock in at around a 6.54 million pace for September.

　The company's loss of $44 million, or 9 cents per share, compared with earnings of $58 million, or 13 cents, in the year-ago period.

115 ：走る名無しさん：2004/10/27(Wed) 12:43: Strong earnings from Lockheed Martin Corp. and Halliburton Co., along with a strong profit outlook from General Electric Co., cheered many investors, though Dow component DuPont Co. fell despite a credible third-quarter performance.

Lockheed Martin added 88 cents to $54.38 as its growing information technology business offset a slumping space division, helping the company post a 41 percent jump in earnings. The aerospace giant, which beat analysts' forecasts by 4 cents per share, issued a tepid full-year outlook, however.

General Electric gained 73 cents to $33.63 as it backed Wall Street's view of its fourth-quarter and full-year profit forecasts, citing strength across the conglomerate's various divisions.

Halliburton added $1.38, or 4 percent, to $35.73, even as the company swung to a loss, weighed down by continued asbestos claims settlements. Without the one-time losses, the company would have exceeded profit forecasts by 6 cents per share.

DuPont fell 78 cents to $41.40 after the chemical company swung to a profit in the third quarter despite higher raw materials costs. DuPont, which beat Wall Street expectations by a penny per share, also reiterated its full-year profit outlook, though some investors worried that materials and energy costs would eventually sap the company's profits.

U.S. Steel Corp. finished up $1.60, or 4.5 percent, at $37.45, after returning to profitability in the third quarter, blowing past Wall Street profit forecasts by 58 cents per share thanks to higher demand. The company also said it expects a strong fourth quarter.

　COLUMBUS, Ga. (Dow Jones)--Aflac Corp.'s (AFL) third-quarter earnings rose 27% as revenue increased due to a stronger average yen/dollar exchange rate.
　However, the insurer said it was "disappointed" in its sales growth in Japan and the U.S., and doesn't expect to meet its full-year sales target.
　The company also provided fourth-quarter earnings estimates below an analysts' mean forecast, but reaffirmed estimated operating earnings-per-share growth, before foreign currency translation, for fiscal years 2004 through 2006.
　In a press release Tuesday, the company said its third-quarter earnings rose to $301 million, or 58 cents a share, from $237 million, or 45 cents a share, a year earlier.
　The latest quarter included a gain of $6 million, or 1 cent a share, from the change in fair value of the interest rate component of cross-currency swaps, as required by SFAS 133. In the year-ago third quarter, earnings included a loss of $2 million, or 1 cent a share, from the effect of SFAS 133.

　For the three months ended Sept. 30, the company earned $220 million, or 10 cents per share, down from $3.18 billion, or $1.41 a share, a year ago when it had a gain of nearly $3.3 billion on the sale of its 57 percent interest in QVC.

　The results announced Wednesday handily beat Wall Street's expectations.
　Net earnings were $456 million, or 56 cents per share, up from $256 million, or 32 cents per share, a year earlier. Analysts polled by Thomson First Call had anticipated earnings of 40 cents per share.

　Aircraft maker Boeing (NYSE:BA - News) , meanwhile, boosted its 2004 outlook for earnings to a range of $2.40 to $2.60 a share up from its earlier view of $2.25 to $2.45 a share after besting analysts' forecasts with its third-quarter report.
　Similarly, Black & Decker Corp. (NYSE:BDK - News) raised its view for the rest of 2004 and 2005 after posting strong third quarter results.
　The news was not all good on the earnings front, however.
　Pope and Talbot (NYSE:POP - News) , Cox Communications (NYSE:COX - News) , Moody's (NYSE:MCO - News) , B/E Aerospace (NasdaqNM:BEAV - News) , and Skechers USA (NYSE:SKX - News) were among those that posted numbers that fell short of Wall Street's expectations.
　Among the airlines, America West swung to a third-quarter loss, blaming high fuel prices and a weak industry environment.

121 ：走る名無しさん：2004/10/27(Wed) 22:38: September Durable Goods Orders Rise Less Than Expected
　WASHINGTON -- Durable goods orders rose in September, as strong spending on capital goods offset weakness in orders for metals and aircraft.
　Orders for manufactured goods meant to last three years or more increased 0.2% to $195.7 billion in September, the Commerce Department said Wednesday. Orders for non-defense capital goods excluding aircraft -- a barometer of business spending -- rose 2.6%, after a 0.3% increase in August.
　Overall orders fell 0.6% in August, a downward revision from the previously reported 0.3%% decline. Orders were up 1.9% in July.
　September's increase fell short of expectations on Wall Street. A Dow Jones-CNBC survey of 20 economists had predicted orders would gain 0.6%. Ahead of the report, analysts had noted a recent trend for durable goods orders to rise sharply in the last month of the quarter. The durable goods data are some of the most volatile reported by the government. Estimates are routinely revised, sometimes sharply. Analysts, therefore, caution against using the monthly figures when trying to tell which way the U.S. economy is going.

　The housing market, fueled by the low mortgage rates, has continued to be red hot with both sales of new and existing homes headed for new all-time highs for the year.
　The 3.5 percent increase in new home sales took economists by surprise. They had been expecting a decline. Sales rose a revised 5.8 percent in August following an 8.1 percent decline in August.

　【ワシントン＝小竹洋之】米連邦準備理事会（ＦＲＢ）は27日、地区連銀経済報告（ベージュブック）を発表した。9月から10月上旬にかけて「米経済の拡大が続いた」との総括判断を維持しながらも、最近の原油高に懸念を表明。「エネルギー価格の上昇が家計や企業の支出を圧迫している」と指摘し、個人消費や設備投資の動向を注視する姿勢を示した。
　報告は10月18日までの経済指標に基づき、全米で12の地区連銀が管轄地域の景気情勢をまとめた。11月10日に開く次の米連邦公開市場委員会（ＦＯＭＣ）の討議資料になる。今回の総括判断は「複数の地区で経済の拡大ペースが減速した」との表現を削除し、前回に比べて景気認識をやや前進させた。その代わりに原油高の影響に触れ「企業は大半の地区でエネルギー価格の上昇を懸念している」などと指摘した。グリーンスパンＦＲＢ議長は「米経済は一時の軟調局面から抜け出しつつある」との判断を示している。議長発言との整合性に配慮しながら、原油高の景気下押しリスクにも言及してバランスをとったとみられる。 (日経新聞)

　Wall Street Expecting a Large IPO From DreamWorks Animation on Thursday
　LOS ANGELES (AP) -- It's shaping up to be an ogre-sized debut for shares of the company that made the animated hits "Shrek" and "Shark Tale."
　Shares of DreamWorks Animation Inc. are scheduled to begin trading Thursday and were priced Wednesday night at $28 per share -- higher than the $23 to $25 per share target in the company's prospectus.
　At that price, DreamWorks will raise $812 million from the 29 million shares it will make available in its initial public offering. The company said it would give its underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 4.35 million shares of common stock to cover any over-allotments.

141 ：走る名無しさん：2004/10/29(Fri) 22:27: U.S. GDP Advances 3.7% in 3rd Quarter; Inflation Plummets
　Dow Jones Newswires
　WASHINGTON -- U.S. economic growth picked up in the third quarter, but not as much as expected, as faster consumer spending was offset in part by a slower pace of inventory building by businesses and slower exports.
　Gross domestic product -- a measure of all goods and services produced in the U.S. -- increased in the period from July through September at a 3.7% annual rate, the Commerce Department said Friday. That is faster than the 3.3% pace recorded in the second quarter, but below the 4.5% rate in the first quarter. Meanwhile, inflation slowed sharply during the third quarter.
　The advance third-quarter number was weaker than Wall Street had predicted. A Dow Jones Newswires-CNBC survey of 21 economists forecast growth of 4.3% for the three-month period. Ahead of the report, analysts had pointed to evidence of rebounding consumer spending and a surge in business spending as reasons to expect faster growth. The Commerce Department's first report of GDP is based on assumptions for trade and inventories for the last month of the quarter, and may be revised up or down.
　Inflation gauges in the report showed an abrupt deceleration. The government's price index for personal consumption -- a closely watched measure of inflation -- rose at a 1.1% rate during the third quarter after 3.1% in the prior period. The price index for gross domestic purchases, which measures prices paid by U.S. residents, rose at a 1.8% rate in the third quarter. It advanced 3.5% in the second quarter. The chain-weighted GDP price index increased at a 1.3% rate, after a 3.2% pace in the second quarter.

　Elsewhere in the oil patch, earnings news was disappointing with both ChevronTexaco (NYSE:CVX - News) and Andarko Petroleum (NYSE:APC - News) both posting third-quarter numbers that fell short of analysts' expectations.
　In other earnings, Archer Daniels Midland (NYSE:ADM - News) topped fiscal first-quarter forecasts with a report of earnings of 41 cents a share on $8.97 billion. Analysts polled by Thomson First Call had expected earnings of 27 cents in the quarter.
　Avon Products (NYSE:AVP - News) , meanwhile, boosted its outlook for all of 2004 to a range of $1.75 to $1.77 a share from its previous $1.72 per share forecast after a better-than-expected third-quarter report. A potentially lower fourth-quarter tax rate also influenced the move.
　Also-ran PC maker Gateway (GTW) sprinted to a 13% lead in premarket action after eking out a surprise operating gain, its first in nearly three years. The $4 million in notional profit was swallowed by the usual heavy restructuring charges, although the company did cut its net loss by more than half, to $56 million. Business fundamentals remain somewhat dubious, to say the least, what with PC shipments up 67% in a year's time thanks to an acquisition, while revenue rose less than 4%. But analysts spied signs of a long-term turnaround.

　【ワシントン＝永田和男】２００４年米大統領選は２日全米で投票が行われ、３日朝（日本時間同日夜）までの開票作業で、共和党ジョージ・ブッシュ大統領（５８）が、全米得票総計でで５１％を獲得し、民主党ジョン・ケリー上院議員（６０）の４８％に３５０万票あまりの差をつけ、州ごとの選挙人獲得数でも２５４を獲得、残るオハイオ州など３州でもリードし、再選確実の見通しとなった。
　米大統領選は、前回のフロリダ州に続き激戦州の開票で、投開票日に決着がつかなかった。ただし、ブッシュ大統領は前回、有権者投票の総数ではゴア候補の得票を５０万票以上下回りながら、選挙人獲得数で上回り勝利した。だが今回は逆に全米の総数で３５０万票以上のリードを見せており、ケリー氏側が前回のゴア氏のような長期間の抵抗をした場合、どこまで米国民の支持を取り付けられるかは不透明だ。
　今回の大統領選は、イラク戦争を巡り両候補が激しい論戦を展開。さらに財政や健康保険改革、銃規制など内政の主要分野で共和、民主両党が激しい論戦を演じ、国論が２分。選挙戦もこうした分裂を背景に、最後まで勝敗予測が出来ない大激戦となった。

　On the economic front, the latest jobless claims offered some ammunition to those investors who believe economic growth in the U.S. is holding up well.
　Initial claims for state unemployment benefits fell 19,000 to 332,000 last week, the Labor Department reported Thursday.
　The decline was larger than expected. Economists were expecting a drop in initial claims to about 340,000, according to a survey conducted by CBS Marketwatch.

　Cleanup Efforts From Hurricanes Help Jump-Start Hiring With October Payrolls Expanding by 337,000
　WASHINGTON (AP) -- Employers aggressively hired new workers in October, adding 337,000 people to payrolls after a sluggish summer, although the overall unemployment rate rose marginally, to 5.5 percent.
　The 0.1 percent rise in the seasonally adjusted civilian rate happened largely because the new hiring was to some degree offset by increasing numbers of people who came into the labor market in search of work.
　Nevertheless, the expansion in payrolls last month was nearly double what economists had forecast, the Labor Department reported Friday, saying that cleanup efforts from hurricanes that struck Florida and much of the Southeast helped jump-start the labor market.
　The report on new hiring was good news for President Bush as he prepares for a second term. A generally weak job market plagued his campaign for re-election, offering a political target to his Democratic challenger, John Kerry.
　Economists had expected October payrolls to grow by about 175,000 with the jobless rate holding steady at 5.4 percent. Employers have added about 2.2 million jobs since August 2003.
　But the rate climbed to 5.5 percent as more people renewed their job searches, expanding the pool of available workers.
　Hiring in construction helped spur last month's job growth, with employment in that sector rising by a net 71,000 jobs.

　THE BIGGEST JOBS GAIN in six months set up a third straight stock-market rally Friday, while bonds priced for sluggish growth slumped.
　U.S. employers added 337,000 payrolls in October, way above Wall Street's expectation for a net gain of 190,000, led by the service and construction sectors as the Southeast recovered from the recent spate of hurricanes. The unemployment rate crept up from 5.4% to 5.5% as the improving economy drew more job seekers.
　As an added bonus, job growth during August and September appeared a lot less disappointing in retrospect as government statisticians backdated an extra 156,000 jobs, nearly doubling the presumed gains for that two-month period. The economy has now added a net of more than two million jobs over the last year as companies start to spend record profits.
　Dow futures anticipated a 55-point gain for starters, while the Nasdaq and the S&P 500 aimed for gains of roughly 1%.
　Bonds depreciated quickly on the news, pushing the 10-year Treasury yield to 4.19%. The dollar rallied from longtime lows.

【ＮＱＮニューヨーク＝千葉茂】５日午前のニューヨーク外国為替市場ではドル売りが膨らんでいる。ユーロは一時、１ユーロ＝1.2940ドル前後と２月に付けた1999年のユーロ導入後の高値（1.2930ドル）を上回った。円相場は１ドル＝105円56銭前後と４月13日以来、約７カ月ぶりの高値を更新した。朝方発表の10月の雇用統計で非農業部門雇用者数が市場予想を大幅に上回る伸びを示し、いったんドルの買い戻しが入ったものの、米国の財政・経常赤字の是正に向けて各国がドル安を容認するとの思惑が強く、すぐにドル売りが優勢になった。

oilに流れていた投機資金が為替に流れ始めたのかと近頃ぽかーんとｗしていました
市場においてはどこからどこへマネーが動いているのか大変重要です
市場介入はどうするか、胎化か不胎化か、また去年通りならばそれはそれで大変ですｗ

162 ：走る名無しさん：2004/11/09(Tue) 20:41: ＜ＦＯＭＣ＞１０日に追加利上げへ　政策金利年２％に

　米連邦準備制度理事会は１０日、金融政策を決定する連邦公開市場委員会（ＦＯＭＣ）を開く。短期金利の指標のフェデラル・ファンド金利の誘導目標を現行の年１．７５％から０．２５％引き上げ、年２％にする見通しだ。利上げすれば、今年６、８、９月のＦＯＭＣに続いて４回連続。利上げ幅は過去３回と同じ。

★米アメリカ・オンライン（ＡＯＬ）<TWX.N>、７００人以上の解雇によるコスト削減を１カ月後に控え、複数の幹部ポストに新幹部を起用して組織を一新。
★米マイクロソフト<MSFT.O>の反トラスト法訴訟で、同社とノベル<NOVL.O>や業界団体、米コンピューター・通信産業教会（ＣＣＩＡ）が和解。これで最高裁への上訴が行われないことが確実に。

ＦＯＭＣが１０日に追加利上げへするようです
市場としては（アメリカ経済に比べ）金利が低すぎるというのが大方の見方のようです
163 ：走る名無しさん：2004/11/10(Wed) 20:07: 米、４度目の利上げ決定へ　景気堅調でＦＯＭＣ

　【ワシントン１０日共同】米連邦準備制度理事会（ＦＲＢ）は１０日、金融政策を決める連邦公開市場委員会（ＦＯＭＣ）を開く。結果は同日午後（日本時間１１日未明）に公表される予定だが、米景気の底堅さと雇用情勢の改善を背景に、今回の金融引き締め局面として４度目の金利引き上げを決定する見通しだ。
　金融市場が予想する０・２５％の利上げが実施されれば、政策金利であるフェデラルファンド（ＦＦ）金利の誘導目標は年２・０％となる。市場は追加利上げをほぼ織り込んでいるため、ドル相場や株価への影響は限定的となりそうだ。
　一方、市場関係者はＦＯＭＣ後の声明でＦＲＢがどのような景気見通しと政策姿勢を示すかに注目している。原油高の景気への影響が不透明なことから市場では、次回１２月のＦＯＭＣでも利上げを継続するか、いったん休止するかで見方が割れている。
