Sentiment on the rebound

Article Abstract:

Caution about US and Australian equity markets, despite some recent strength after the US Federal Reserve reduced rates, is advisable. In Australia, the Reserve Bank governor seems to believe the monetary policy should be maintained with no further interest rate reductions. Several stocks, Westpac, St. George Bank, and Amcor, are discussed and are rated 'Buy.' Others, Harvey Norman, MYOB and Hutchison Telecom, are rated 'Sell.'
