Asian markets were pressured lower by a fresh rise in crude prices, as the July- dated contract on crude oil held above $59 per barrel in overseas trading. In Hong Kong, however, stocks gained as China's fifth-largest lender, Bank of Communications, set the price for its initial public offering at the high end of its anticipated range, raising $1.9 billion. The stock is scheduled to begin trading on June 23. Futures are headed lower this morning, as $60-per-barrel crude has quickly gone from a rumor to a very possible occurrence. The July crude contract reached as high as $59.23 in electronic trading, as traders speculated on fears of possible terrorism in Nigeria. In the equity market, Cablevision Systems was offered a buy-out offer to go private by the Dolan Family Group. The deal is valued at $7.9 billion, or $33.50 per share, with stockholders to receive $21 in cash and $12.50 per share in Rainbow Media Holdings' stock. The Dolan Family expects Cablevision Systems to form a special committee to evaluate the proposal. Be prepared for the investing week ahead with Bernie Schaeffer's FREE Monday Morning Outlook.

Weber said that judging by the countries' respective budgets, they're again set to flirt close to the European Union's fiscal rules. And these are amended rules that are supposedly looser than the previous ones. Under the new framework, countries that breach the mandated deficit allowance (which states that they cannot run up debt that is more than 3% of national GDP) can avoid EU budget sanctions if their economic growth is lower than projected, or so-called "external factors" are involved. Germany is set to breach the limit for the fourth successive year, citing higher spending costs associated with rebuilding the former East Germany. Italy will break the rules for the third straight year in 2005 and the European Commission recently ordered finance ministers to get Italy to reduce its budget shortfall. Meanwhile, Greece will probably miss the target to get its deficit back under the limit by next year and the Portuguese government is forecasting a whopping 6.4% budget gap this year -- well over double the legal limit. But in typically odd EU fashion, no country has yet been fined for breaking the rules -- despite the rules saying that they should be. The European Central Bank isn't helping foster much growth by stubbornly ignoring ever louder calls from national leaders and finance ministers to cut interest rates for the first time in two years from the current 2% level. But with manufacturing activity contracting by the biggest amount in two years in May, Weber and the ECB apparently believe it is "asking too much" of the bank to boost GDP growth by doing anything. So it continues to leave rates unchanged.
