    MARKET OVERVIEW
    European markets have dropped slightly as crude has held firm above $65
per barrel. While this increase is bad news for the German DAX and the French
CAC 40, it is good news for the FTSE, which has made slight gains. Tokyo's
Nikkei 225 index was unable to repeat the performance from South Korean and
Australian stock markets, which reached new all-time highs. Again, gains were
mainly capped by rising crude prices. Currently, a meager two indices out of
those we track have been able to fight their way into positive territory,
posting an average return of -0.195.
    The October futures contract on sweet crude oil tacked on more than one
dollar per barrel.  Black gold rebounded from a seven-week low with 100
percent of daily oil output in the Gulf still offline, as a result, more than
1.5 million barrels of daily oil production in the Gulf is shut in.  What's
more, traders were a bit nervous ahead of incoming damage reports from
Hurricane Rita.  November-dated crude tacked on more than a dollar to finish
above $65 per barrel at $65.82.

    DYNAMIC MARKET OPPORTUNITIES
    With the latest estimates putting Hurricane Katrina reconstruction costs
alone as high as US$200 billion, that's bound to have a significant effect on
the economy at some point -- perhaps more so because George Bush has promised
not to raise taxes to pay the federal government's share of the bill. While
that's good news for all taxpayers, it has left many wondering what impact
this will have on the already bloated deficits and inflation. More government
borrowing and massive amounts of cash heading down South will surely have some
kind of inflationary knock-on effect. It's important to remember, however,
that the broader US economy has taken the hurricanes in stride and that
although spending will probably cause some kind of inflationary rise, much of
the money will also filter into corporate accounts, which should at least
partially offset some of that pressure. In terms of oil prices, before
Hurricanes Katrina and Rita hit Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas, crude oil
prices were hovering around the US$55 a barrel level. So if the current price
of oil is truly based on excess global demand and inadequate supply, then that
price should be the benchmark for where it should settle. A Fitch Ratings
report also states: "If oil prices were to remain at $70/bbl for a sustained
period, world GDP growth in 2006 could fall by around 1% compared to previous
forecasts."
