Consumer credit jumps more than 2 years

WASHINGTON — A consumer borrowing increased in October from the largest amount in more than two years, led by a big increase in the category which includes student loans.

The Federal Reserve said Tuesday that consumer credit has increased at an annual rate of 3.4 billion in October, the biggest increase since July 2008 $ 5.7 billion gain. Consumer credit has also increased in September.

Force in September and October is strongly influenced by recent legislation, which makes the Government, but the primary lender to students.

3.4 Billion in overall credit increase exceeded apartment reading than economists expected. Gain translates into an increase of 1.7% and followed by an increase of 0.6% in September. Those who have been the first consecutive monthly gain since mid-2008. Consumer credit fell from 19 months straight before rising in September.

Americans have reduced their borrowing from the end of 2008, they have struggled to cope with a steep recession and high unemployment.

Analysts have said that they did not expect this situation to change in the months to come, given that unemployment in November has jumped to 9.8% and not expected to show dramatic improvements, given the slow pace of economic growth.

"Households actually obtained handguns in the gastrointestinal tract at the beginning of the great depression," said Ellen Beeson Zentner, Senior Economist at Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi in New York. "They had no savings precautionary and no margin on their credit cards for help through the loss of jobs and salary reductions.

Because of this, she was looking for credit card debt, the largest category of credit, to remain subdued for some time.

"While we are looking for credit back, we are not the types of growth rates, we have seen over the last 20 years, when we had a love affair with credit," she says.

The Federal Reserve credit report showed that revolving credit, category which includes credit cards, loans fell by 8.4% in October, 26th record decline in monthly consecutive.

Households were borrowing less and save more. This was a major factor together hold economic growth because it reduces consumption, which represents 70% of the total economic activity.

The category of debt which includes auto loans and student loans increased by 6.8% in October after a strong increase of 7.6% in September.

Much of this gain was powered by student loans from the Federal Government. A change in law this year gives the Government the primary lender to students. Previously, the Federal Government was the guarantor of loans for students provided by private lenders.

Some of the resistance of the last month are also auto loans increase reflecting the highest motor sales. A separate report on Tuesday showed that consumers with rock-solid credit less began to get a car loan once more lenders has loosened standards a little.

Report from Experian, shows that loans will subprime buyers has increased by 8% in the third quarter, agency of credit in the third quarter of 2009. It was the first one-year increase since 2007.

Total credit in October level stood at $ 2.4 billion, 3.1% for a year and 7.1% below the record for the consumer credit struck in July 2008.

Measurement of the Federal Reserve consumer credit covering categories such as credit card debt, student loans and auto loans. But it includes no mortgage or any other type of loan secured by real estate.

Building "the lowest for 20 years.

According to the survey on the most recent drivers Jonas Deloitte (DJD) cranes, only 22 schemas or 2.7 m - square foot are built in the heart of the capital, 52pc six months ago and less than one year 68pc.

The sharp drop in activity is a consequence of implementing disposal projects into recession, dried up and disappeared from the demand for companies to hire developers finance.

GDP figures have shown that the construction industry led to economic growth, but analysts warned that the improvement has been in public works and private sector projects are still limited, as shown in DJD report.

The slowdown of the projects is particularly evident in the city, where no new development has started this year, the first time that this has happened in the history of 20 years of the survey on the grues.Seulement four buildings are being constructed, which make up 1.3 m-square-foot space .According DJD, 2011 and 2012 will be the years further down for completion on the recording and the "bottom" of the current cycle.

However, the largest developers begin work once more on the projects main skyscrapers in the city, such as the talkie walkie and Cheesegrater, as they expected an improvement in demand for the company and a resumption of rent.

Construction on a wave of projects is due to start next year, but also of DJD could lead to the very real possibility of the market see an oversupply of space in 2014".

Anthony Duggan, Director and head of research at DJD, stated: "as the last cycle of development is nearing completion there is an important window of opportunity for developers, but there is a real chance that could distract from starvation at the feast in the coming years."

"We are moving towards a tipping point in the London markets where appetite for development could mean that the market swings too little space today with too much space in 2014 15.Nous expect that next year will see a frenzied effort by developers for plans have begun to catch growth forecast for the next years rental."

"The timing of these schemes is key - there is a clear window of opportunity in the next few years but after 2013 there is a real risk of overproduction.".

In the meantime, healthy expansion of the British economy in the third quarter is expected to be confirmed Wednesday that the national statistical Office updates his original estimate.

Economists expect growth of gross domestic product (GDP) will be left unrevised at 0 8pc after ONS said recently that he was hanging with his estimate of quarter-on-quarter to 4pc growth in construction.

Howard Archer, an economist at IHS added insight that nothing pointed out any "major review" to consider it as exit sector enormous services was developed by 0 6pc.

However, the annual growth rate seems likely be revised to 2 6pc of 2 8pc after dressed ONS the figure for the growth of the construction in the second quarter.

The demotion of the expansion of the sector 9. 6pc quarter-on-quarter 6. 8pc is supposed to pull 1. 2pc surprisingly high growth between April and June until 1. 0pc dependent if anything else is revised.

"Obviously any revision to the decline in GDP growth would be disappointing, but the economic picture as a whole would change not only this," said Mr. Archer.

The ONS will also give new details on spending, with Philip Shaw Investec, expect consumption of households do not correspond to the second quarter estimated growth of 0 7pc as retail sales lost pace.

How do you get stock market prices for past years?

Depends. If you want the past 10 years, you can see those prices easily. here on Yahoo! finance for example. any online trading station will let you look at a 10-year price chart. my trading station is Fidelity Active Trader Pro, but that's restricted.

If you want price data from before the Internet existed, that's very hard to come by. Your brokerage firm may help, but that's doubtful.

Nothing is free in America. The Stock Exchanges found out there's a demand for past data of prices, so they took advantage of that to make profit.
But….
I did a project that involved getting stocks data online, but I missed collecting the right info (tick data). after some research online and guidance from my professor, I had to call Chicago Board of Exchange to get them. most of them will be generous to you if you were a student, but from my experience, the operator gave me bad attitude, probably because I didn't call as a customer. I've also emailed to another exchange and the guy was soooo nice to me, he emailed me a few times just so I get the exact data I was looking for.
But If you want the info for personal use, you can always purchase that online

You can get this information in Yahoo! Finance.

But to actually find the information it will depend on what you mean by "stock market" prices.

Do you mean for individual stocks? mutual funds? or entire markets or benchmarks such as S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrials, or NASDAQ.

For stock market prices just go do
finance.yahoo.com and choose the stock market prices you want to see. its free and they have all the stocks in main markets in the world.

to give an example if you want the max of FTSE 100 indices you can go to
http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/q/bc?s=%5EFT…

you can add any stock prices, you can also see gold, fuel or commodities as well as AIM shares
