    Homebuilders Post Biggest Weekly Gain Since 1995 (Update4)

    By Brian Louis

    Jan. 25 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. homebuilders had their biggest weekly gain since 1995 as investors and analysts say the market for new homes may have hit bottom.

    A Standard & Poor's measure of 15 builders rose 24 percent this week. Today, it declined 1 percent. Lennar Corp., Standard Pacific Corp., Pulte Homes Inc. and M/I Homes Inc. all gained today.

    The index rose after Raymond James & Associates raised its ratings on some companies amid expectations that U.S. government action, including the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut this week, will boost demand for housing. Lennar rose today after Pali Research raised its rating on the shares.

    ``The sun is not shining very brightly, but at least the worst of the storm has likely passed,'' Stephen East, an analyst at Pali, wrote today in his report on Lennar.

    Lennar reported the biggest quarterly loss in its history yesterday and gained 4.8 percent today after Pali raised its rating on the shares to ``neutral'' from ``sell.''

    The Miami-based builder reduced inventory and cut the number of its joint ventures, which have been a ``financial drain,'' East wrote in the report.

    The gain in the builder index for the week tops the previous one-week record of 16 percent set in April 1999. U.S. stock markets were closed Monday for the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday.

    Reaching Bottom?

    ``The government is now fully engaged in correcting the economic problems caused by housing and this can only help support the industry,'' East wrote. ``Sharp interest rate cuts should take hold and boost homebuilder equities as they have done in the past.''

    Negative sentiment among investors and home buyers may also be lifting, said David Rolfe, chief investment officer at Wedgewood Partners in St. Louis, which has $600 million under management and doesn't own shares of homebuilders.

    ``Things were so bearish,'' Rolfe said. ``It looks like that logjam is breaking.''

    Former Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan said yesterday that the U.S. housing slump ``may be close to the point where actual sales levels are starting to bottom.''

    The Fed on Jan. 22 cut its target overnight lending rate to 3.5 percent from 4.25 percent. The reduction increased optimism mortgage rates will fall and help more people buy homes.

    Raising Limits

    U.S. lawmakers are poised to approve measures that may boost demand for housing. An accord reached in Washington would temporarily raise the limit on the size of mortgages that federally chartered mortgage-finance companies Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can buy to $729,750 from $417,000.

    Lennar rose 77 cents to $16.98 in New York Stock Exchange composite trading. The builder, founded in 1954, reported yesterday a fiscal fourth-quarter net loss of $1.25 billion, or $7.92 a share. Revenue fell 49 percent to $2.18 billion. The company also recorded $1.86 billion in expenses as the deteriorating housing market forced it write down land and walk away from options on property.

    Standard Pacific, which is based in Irvine, California, and sells houses in eight states, rose 15 cents, or 5 percent, to $3.15. Pulte, which is based in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, and sells houses in 26 U.S. states, rose 25 cents to $13.10.

    M/I Homes, a Columbus, Ohio-based builder of homes in the U.S. Midwest, Florida and the Mid-Atlantic states, rose 17 cents to $12.99.

    Toch wel licht puntjes hier en daar .
    Real Estate is er aardig in trek weer.

    Breaking News from MoneyNews.com

    China's $119 Billion in Bank ‘Irregularities’

    China’s bank regulators are busy drawing up new regulations on the heels of $119 billion in unspecified banking "irregularities”, an amount that would make even the most troubled U.S. bank blush and far outstrips the $7.1 billion blown by a French trader this week.

    "We must strengthen our regulatory capacity and nip these risks in the bud,” Chinese bank regulator Liu Minkang noted on the agency’s Web site.

    The total amount of irregularities found equals almost three times the profits of the country’s top five state-owned banks. However, regulators say they found fewer problems this time than they did a year ago.

    Regulators’ findings triggered removals from office of 117 bank managers and fines levied against 12,687 people following investigations.

    The Shanghai Daily reported that regulators found a total of 445 cases of irregularities at the 79,200 banks, bank branches and sub-branches they examined—down 58.4 percent from the total reported a year ago.

    China must set up a standardized system to punish and fine perpetrators, making the costs of committing wrongdoings higher than the potential gains, Minkang wrote.

    According to news.xinhuanet.com, the amount of money involved in the irregularities at Industrial & Commercial Bank of China Ltd., Bank of China Ltd. and the country's other three State-owned banks is down by 69 percent over last year.

    Also on a more positive note, combined profits for Chinese banks rose to 298.7 billion yuan at the end of 2007, up from 36.4 billion yuan in 2002.

    Editor’s Note: Special: Market Crashes, The ETF Strategist Makes +29% Profit. Act Now.

    Bloomberg reported that ICBC, the world's biggest bank by market value, Bank of China, China Construction Bank Corp. and Bank of Communications Co. had average returns of 1.1 percent on their assets last year, while their mean non-performing loan ratio stood at 2.87 percent.

    At the end of 2007, five Chinese banks had control or hold stakes in overseas financial players and seven had 60 overseas outlets with overseas assets of more than $167.4 billion.

    Domestic banks, including their investments and branches abroad, had a total of $267.4 billion in overseas assets at the end of last year.

    Twenty-one overseas banks — including HSBC, Citibank, BEA, Standard Chartered Bank, OCBC, Deutsche Bank and Hang Seng Bank — have been incorporated in China and are seeking unlimited retail yuan services.

    Ach waarom niet.

    JERUSALEM, Jan 28 (Reuters) - Israel's shekel <ILS=> was little changed against the dollar on Monday as the market took a breather after heavy volatility last week and ahead of a Bank of Israel rates decision.

    Tel Aviv share indexes were mostly unchanged around five-month lows, while benchmark 10-year bond prices <ILSAHR2683=TA> gained 0.4 percent.

    The shekel's official rate was set at 3.7090 per dollar, compared with 3.71 on Friday. The Israeli currency had reached 3.6820 last Thursday for its strongest level since August 1998, and looks to be underpinned by a widening differential between Israeli and U.S. rates.

    The shekel remains one of the best performing emerging market currencies so far in 2008 and has appreciated by more than 4 percent versus the dollar since the U.S. Federal Reserve's 75-basis point rate cut to 3.5 percent last Tuesday.

    A Reuters poll showed that 14 of 16 economists expect Israel's central bank to announce at 1630 GMT that it is keeping its benchmark rate at 4.25 percent.

    Only two see a 25-basis point hike. Although inflation is currently a problem, the market believes global financial turmoil will keep the central bank on hold for now -- particularly with the Fed expected to further reduce U.S. rates.

    Tue: TASE rebounds
    Real estate stocks led the way up as investors went bargain hunting, while the shekel-dollar rate hit a 10-year low.
    Yael Schwartzbart 29 Jan 08 18:35
    The Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) rose today. The Tel Aviv 25 index rose 2.6% to 1075.42 points, the Tel Aviv 100 rose 2.61% to 1018.79 points, and the Tel-Tech rose 1.81% to 294.95 points. Turnover was NIS 1.94 billion.
    The TASE rebounded strongly today as part of a general market correction. Markets in Asia and Europe rose. In addition, Governor of the Bank of Israel Prof. Stanley Fischer kept the interest rate unchanged yesterday, and today the Bank of Israel's Companies Survey showed continued business expansion during the fourth quarter of 2007.

    The Real Estate 15 index led the way up with a 5.2% rise, after a long period in which it led the market down. The upbeat mood caused investors to go bargain hunting.

    In the foreign currency market, the shekel appreciated strongly against leading the currencies, with the exchange rates hitting new lows against the dollar, euro, and pound. The shekel-dollar exchange rate fell 1.89% to NIS 3.639/$ - a ten-year low. The shekel-euro exchange rate fell 1.52% to NIS 5.3795/€, and the shekel-pound exchange rate fell 1.42% to NIS 7.249/₤. Expectations that Federal Reserve Board Chairman Ben S. Bernanke will make another 50-basis point cut in the Fed rate has sent the dollar tumbling.

    In the bond market, prices for long-term shekel instruments rose by up to 0.3%.
