\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<\/span>, 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<\/span> financial markets myself.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile I am on Twitter, reading a quote here and a news flash there, I offer my own succinct 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<\/span>.<\/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– Bad timing or iron conviction? JPM<\/span> just updated its AUD\/USD forecasts to 1.08 average for calendar 2012…<\/p>\n

\n\t– We are experiencing a bit of a shake-out in the commodities space: gold near 3 month lows, crude oil at 6 weeks low… AUD\/USD at 1.02<\/p>\n

\n\t– Today was only the second 100+ point sell-off on Wall Street this year. Aust<\/span> market likely to fare poorly again with SPI<\/span> -0.7% #ausbiz<\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t– Dennis Gartman<\/span> suggests US equities correction in progress: going gets tougher now that the Fed is (apparently) no longer loosening..<\/p>\n

\n\t– Westpac: "Our basic view remains that the data flow in coming months will not support the current pricing levels of growth oriented assets"<\/p>\n

\n\t– My "never fail" personal market indicator has provided an early warning. Complacency can become a costly sin http:\/\/tiny.cc\/cj57bw<\/p>\n

\n\t– Amidst all the hype about OneSteel's rebirth as Arrium: Deutsche remains concerned about debt levels and likely steel write-downs<\/p>\n

\n\t– Reality versus perception: BRIC equity markets posted worst country returns in March, all negative in Q1. What does that say about US rally?<\/p>\n

\n\t– Global debt: a future perspective from the Boston Consulting Group (do not read when feeling pessimistic already) http:\/\/goo.gl\/g7DEi<\/p>\n

\n\t– Blackstone's Byron Wien: future may hold more modest returns for equities, "but for 2012, I still believe we have higher highs ahead of us"<\/p>\n

\n\t– CBA points out cyclical stocks were the biggest losers in US overnight with energy sector down 1% and materials sector down 0.9%<\/p>\n

\n\t– Oz stockbrokers today: downgrades for Sonic Healthcare, Primary Healthcare, Pharmaxis and Virgin Australia. QBE targets up, RBS likes OSH<\/p>\n

\n\t– Economists are herd animals. RBA meets and 24\/24 economists in the Bloomberg survey expect no change. Not one going against the consensus…<\/p>\n

\n\t– Oz stockbrokers today: downgrades for Metcash, Qantas, QBE and Westfield, plus (another) downgrade for Leighton, estimates cut for Incitec<\/p>\n

\n\t– GS team in Oz agrees with "good buy view for equities" from European colleagues. Remarkable: prefer Oz banks over resources. Favour NAB, ANZ<\/p>\n
