The Financial and Capital Markets
Expectations for economic and market conditions to slowly improve through the year (to the point where both turn positive heading into 2010) has fueled the aggressive rebound in capital markets. However, at some point, traders will have to ask themselves how long speculation can drive the market higher before a lack of earnings and investment starts to cloud the future once again. Such a realization may have been grown more opaque this past week with the release of so many major economic events. Acting as a barometer for the health of the world’s largest economy, the US non-farm payrolls report reminded traders that they are taking on risk when the recession is still in full swing. Perhaps the more critical weight for sentiment though was the Fed’s Stress Test results. Meeting expectations that 10 of the 19 would fall short of a reasonable cushion to an extended recession, the $74.6 billion in capital needed seemed tolerable. However, the belief that these figures were contrived is growing. Did the government lowball risk and what about the threat of ongoing defaults
The Economy and The Credit Market
Optimism surrounding an eventual economic recovery is growing; but all those making positive forecasts do so with a disclaimer for timing and barring any unforeseen events. These stipulations are perhaps as important as the general concept of a recovery itself; and therein lays the source of the market’s next dominant fundamental theme. Will the US economy recovery before its G10 counterparts? Is there a next shoe to drop? And, if that is the case, will the dollar take the role of safe haven or growth candidate? These are the questions that all fundamental market participants will be asking themselves; but that the greenback traders in particular will be attempting to discount. Over the past week, the outlook for the US (compared to the rest of the globe) improved modestly on a smaller than expected drop in May payrolls and the in ‘tolerable’ shortfalls of those 10 American banks that failed the federa reserv's stress test.However, it is important to realize that the recovery in risk appetite is fully derived from speculation of future growth, earnings and returns. Things could fall apart quickly…
Are the early signs of recovery strong with us dollar?

There are basically two ways to valuate Stocks:
The first type of valuation is done through an analysis of the company’s financial position, earnings, and the Market Price to Earnings ratio.. This type of valuation usually determines the long-term prices.
The second type of valuation is dictated by how much a buyer is willing to pay and how much a seller is willing to sell the stock of shares for. Here the demand and supply mechanism rules primarily. The more the people want to buy a particular stock, the higher its price will be and alternately, the more people that want to sell the stock, the lower the price will be. This type of valuation determines the short-term stock market prices.
This type of valuation does not reflect the actual book price of the shares of a company. It is the market that decides this price. The market price is determined by many influencing factors such as the economy, the politics, and the general mood of the country and buyers/sellers. This makes the stock market like a living thing with its own traits, personality, and behaviour.
So basically in the long term, the stock market is driven by economic and financial growth whereas in the short term, the market is driven by the rumours, mood and emotions of the investors.
During economic prosperity or high consumer confidence, the stock market prices go up in bullish trend inflating the share prices to a lot more than the actual prices; and during difficult economic times, political uncertainty, and low consumer confidence, the stock market prices go down into bearish trends.

The Stock Exchange
Stock Exchange is an organized open market for buying and selling financial commodities, known as securities, such as shares or stocks, debentures, bonds, options, and futures. It is also known as the stock market. We can in Nepali call the Stock Exchange, a Haat Bazaar, where Brokers, who are the representatives of the shareholders come together for buying and selling their ownership or debts of companies. The stock exchange is also an authority to supervise and regulate the trading.
Stock exchange plays an important role in the economy by providing a place for buyers and sellers to trade securities, stocks, bonds, and other financial instruments.
It is also called the secondary market, the primary market being the first issue of the shares and bonds. In the secondary market investors, who buy and sell stocks and not the companies, earn the profits or bear the losses resulting from their trades. The investors also earn from the companies whose shares they hold, in the form of dividends paid out by the company from their earnings. Stock exchanges encourage investment by providing this secondary market and increase the safety of investing.
In the Stock Exchange, the buyers and sellers do not participate directly in the transactions but place their buying or selling order to a Stock Broker who carries out the transaction in the Stock Exchange for nominal fees of approximately 1.5% on each transaction.
Companies issue new shares or securities in the primary market usually with the help of investment agencies, investment bankers. In the primary market, companies receive the proceeds of stock sales. Thereafter, they are not involved in the trading of stocks. Owners of stocks trade them in the Stock Exchange in the secondary market.
