Recession over!!!

Recession will be over by the end of 2009
The recession facing the global economy would last 24 months and — after having started in December 2007 — would be over by the end of this year, Nouriel Roubini chairman of RGEMonitor.com said.
This is the big news or say futuristic happiness for us who are suffering. Surely this recession hurts a lot and effects every body either directly or indirectly. In an interview to CNBC, Roubini, recognized as one of the few people who foresaw the financial crisis beforehand, added that the recovery would be weak.

Roubini also spoke on the equity markets and said global indices may not re-test their March lows. “The March lows were pricing in a near depression and the collapse of the financials system but within the current levels and lows of the March, there is a meaningful risk of a correction if the economy is going to surprise on the downside as expected.”

Oil prices goes higher

Oil prices were higher on Monday, lifted by rising global equities and positive data that suggested the worst may be over for the crisis-hit US housing market, analysts said.

New York's main futures contract, light sweet crude for delivery in August, gained 32 cents to 63.88 dollars a barrel.

Brent North Sea crude for September delivery climbed 50 cents to 65.88 dollars.

US stocks opened higher Monday, building on last week's powerful rally on reports that huge business lender CIT Group had found private financing to avert bankruptcy. European shares rallied Monday after gains in Asia.

US media reported Monday that business lending giant CIT Group, which provides capital for small- and mid-sized businesses, has negotiated an agreement worth 3.0 billion dollars with its bondholders to avoid bankruptcy.

Oil soared last week as traders welcomed encouraging US data and earnings reports that could boost the recession-mired American economy -- which is the world's top energy consumer.

Thousands of homes in dark

On Monday the announcement of more than 70,000 job cuts pushed thousands of homes into darkness due to Global economic downturn. The global job losses proved that the financial crisis that erupted on Wall Street 2 years ago has now infected the whole global corporate world, engulfing industries ranging from health care to heavy equipments manufacturers.
The general public view believes, its not due to the global recession but the fact that with the current scandals coming out of the carpet and the World Bank tightening its hands on corporates has made the companies to cover them by this major job cuttings and see them as another scandal jointly performed my major companies.
From the recent history of job cuts :-

• 4000 post in Britain were cut down, UK's largest steel maker owned by TATA alone shedded 2500 employees.
• In US, a total of approx. 45000 workers were sacked many times higher than Jet Highways 1900, later taken back and slashed payrolls.
  
• In US jobs dissapering into home building and mortagage operations.
• Last week, Microsoft announced a major job cut.
• 22 out of 30 companies that are part of Dow Jones Industrial s have announced job cuts since oct.

In India soon this is expected to be felt in fields of gems and jeweleries, textiles and IT enabled services. Now US is solely seems to have eye on OBAMA's workout list.
