\n\tBy Rudi Filapek-Vandyck<\/span>, Editor FNArena<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tI joined Twitter. Not because I am curious what this celebrity has to say about her kids, or to read that another one is waiting for a connecting flight, impatiently. Twitter allows me to follow news and commentary sources such as Dow Jones' Marketwatch, Bloomberg News and the Wall Street Journal. It assists me in keeping up with what is happening across the globe, while I am observing and analysing financial markets myself.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile I am on Twitter, reading a quote here and a news flash there, I offer my own succint insights and commentary. Those amongst you who have already discovered the virtues of a Twitter account can add my Tweets to their daily news via @filapek.<\/p>\n

\n\tFor those who have no intention to join Twitter, but would like to stay up to date, below are my Tweets from the week past:<\/p>\n

\n\t– Financial markets post US debt downgrade. Weakness? Yes. Carnage? Hardly. Dow futures down 287 points. US crude down by US$2. Gold Up US$44<\/p>\n

\n\t– Commodity investors should focus on tomorrow's CPI release in China. Market whispers are talking 6.5%-6.7% increase, negative if true<\/p>\n

\n\t– ECB's Trichet, the temporary saviour of global risk?<\/p>\n

\n\t– Fed says the obvious and equities rally. Sometimes Mr Market just wants a reason, any reason, to go down or up. Challenges ahead remain<\/p>\n

\n\t– Behind the global headlines and daily turmoil: US investors don't want to be short ahead of Jackson Hole meeting, Oz reporting season ok<\/p>\n

\n\t– Something to keep an eye on: Danske Bank economists predict US manuf PMI falls to 45 this quarter, signalling contraction and… recession?<\/p>\n
