Stocks vote independent

Article Abstract:

While investors wonder what effect the outcome of the 2004 U.S. presidential election will have on the stock market, the author suggests that whoever wins the White House spot will be less significant in determining stock market values than such economic indicators as job growth, corporate profitability, and international security. In fact, it is suggested that while presidents can influence economic trends, the perception that they are able to control them is incorrect.

Currency game, yet again, focuses on Yuan revaluation

Article Abstract:

China is expected to change the regulations governing the rate of the Yuan so that the currency may trade freely. This economic policy could effect the way world currencies trade against the dollar and would ease foreign trade relations with the West. Currently, the rate of the Yuan is set at 8.28 against the Dollar (United States).
