The cumulative average return on the group is a negative 0.198 percent. Asian stocks were mostly lower on Tuesday as technology weakness continued to plague most markets in the East. Meanwhile, Europe is down as we head deeper into a week burdened with earnings from retailers and outlooks for consumer spending. Futures are pointed lower this morning, casting a somber tone across the Street. Crude prices have continued to climb, edging closer to the $54-a- barrel level. Meanwhile, investors are somewhat anxious ahead of the February trade data that is due out today. Analysts are currently forecasting the gap will widen to $58.4 billion from January's $58.3 billion, marking the second largest trade gap.

Today, all eyes will turn towards the US Labor Department's latest trade report -- one that is expected to show the deficit widening from US$58.3 billion in February to US$59 billion last month. While sturdy economic growth in the US is obviously upbeat, how long can the country continue spending more than it can realistically afford? Imports are sweeping into the US at a hearty pace, but exports aren't keeping up, despite the dollar's weakness. The situation isn't without precedent. Many other countries have experienced depreciation in their currency, helping them gain competitive advantage over others, beef up trade activity and, in turn, trade surpluses. But some studies, including one by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, show that in order for the US trade deficit to drop by 2% by the end of the decade, the dollar would have to lose around a quarter of its current value against the benchmark basket of major world currencies. While that would arguably help out the US, others would not be so fortunate. A weaker dollar and cheaper American exports would be a big blow to Europe, already dependent on exports for the majority of its economic growth, and struggling to muster any kind of domestic consumer spending amid a jobless rate around 9%. That goes double for Japan. While the European Central Bank could at least cut interest rates (currently at 2%) to compensate, the Bank of Japan has no room at all with rates already at zero. A strong yen would cripple Japan's chances of engineering a sustained economic recovery as exports fell.
