The coming days
The week ahead
Originally from Economist.com Aug.24th, 2008

Summary:
。Barack Obama will make a speech in the DP convention. If he doesn’t make his polls a leading place, it will threat his chance to win the election.
。Israel plans to release some 200 Palestinian prisoners. Some oppose to release an important person of Gaza Strip.
。Anwar Ibrahim contests a by-election to drive Malaysia ’s government away. If he wins the by-election, he will be in a better position to strike the ruling party now.
。Failing oil prices may diminish euro-area inflation August 29th, which is good news for rich-country economies.

My opinion:
All main economic influential elements are in this week, all of which will influence America ’s economy and its revival after second-mortgage crisis. Wholly, the rising oil price is irresistible; in other words, don’t count on the peace of the middle-east for a lowing oil price.
