The Subprime Mess March 5/08

Forexmentor.com Forex Trading Price Action

Enter another casualty of the subprime mess. A big negative for the North American markets was American International Group (AIG) reporting its biggest quarterly loss in its 89-year history – AIG being the world’s largest insurance company. Attribute that ugly news up to a US$11.1-billion write-down on its subprime investments.

It seems that the mortgage-related credit crisis is like a bad dream. More bad news could be on the way – in the form of jobs report, factory orders, auto sales, trade balance and retail sales – this in addition to the steady stream of billion-dollar losses in the credit markets. Strap in, and listen up closely folks. We’re in for one heckuva ride.
