Overseas trading is looking surprisingly well this morning, despite
yesterday's heavy sell-off in the U.S. equity market. At 7:40 a.m.
Eastern time, 11 of the 15 foreign markets that we track were
currently trading higher. The cumulative average return on the
group stood at a gain of 0.241 percent. While inflation fears took
their toll on the Japanese Nikkei and held other Asian markets to
meager gains, European markets sounded the rally horns after solid
earnings reports from SAP, LVMH Moet Hennessy, and Volkswagen.
Furthermore, the $14-billion buyout of Allied Domecq by Pernod
Ricard had European investors cheering, sending both stocks soaring
in early trading. While the futures contract on the Dow Jones
Industrial Average hit a 52-week low of 10,015 earlier this
morning, a string of positive earnings from the European tech
sector has all U.S. futures moving higher once again. SAP, a key
rival of Oracle, posted better-than-expected licensing sales for
the quarter, while telecommunications concern Nokia logged an
18-percent surge in quarterly profits and lifted its outlook for
the mobile market for 2005. Be prepared for the investing week

OPPORTUNITIES A new survey of just over 3,000 US employers from
Mercer Human Resource Consulting shows that the average cost of
healthcare per employee rose 7.5% in 2004. The total cost for
medical and dental plans per employee is now a shade under
US$6,700. While this isn't exactly very positive news, it was
nevertheless lower than the 10.1% jump in 2003. Major reasons for
the slowdown in cost inflation include increased competition among
insurance providers last year and the success of smaller companies
in keeping their costs down. The survey shows that companies with
10 to 499 employees saw their costs rise 5.5% in 2004. By contrast,
larger companies (500+ employees) grappled a jump of 9%. Overall,
just 10% of those companies surveyed project an increase in
healthcare costs this year. Elsewhere, while it's true that Europe
continues to struggle to gain economic momentum, the region did at
least contribute to a rise in PC sales during the first quarter.
New figures from market research firms IDC and Gartner show that
strong demand from Europe propelled first- quarter computer
shipments up 11%. There's little doubt that the weaker dollar
helped push up the market in those areas. Once again, Dell led the
way with year-over-year global sales growth of 13% for the quarter.
It increased its share of the worldwide market from 18.5% to 18.9%,
according to IDC. That's significantly ahead of its closest rival,
Hewlett-Packard, which grabbed a 13.9% market share, to say nothing
of IBM, which owns just 5% of the market. Apple placed itself
firmly in fifth position as its global shipments soared 45% during
the first three months of 2005. Read more analysis from the
