we bounced off the lows but relatively unchanged for the ftse 100. dax over in germany and the cac current. the ftse mib making gains over in italy, around 0.7%. over 4% gains right now for this week in particular. just how do we make money in these markets? listen in to what some experts have been telling us this morning. >>> certainly the euro/dollar perspective, the only game in town at the moment is the ecb. this huge focus on june 5, mr. draghi is giving us very clear hints. we think he'll cut rates there. that continues to weigh on the euro side. as you said, don't forget the dollar side. it is all about yield here. it's about growth. but it's also about the fed. >>> probably have a look at the five-year -- but just riding on the back of the currency which looks actually quite good value and you probably want to do that out of the australian five-year, simply for the reason that yes, australia yields for four but at the moment it looks like the australian currency could end up sharply on the back burner. >>> aging population, health care costs

just quickly we know the s&p is basically unchanged on the year. let me switch to red, and you have that versus the home builder etf, masco, fortune brands, beacon roofing, la-z-boy, this is disaster. this is year-to-date performance and again this week, not getting any lift as rates continue to go lower. let's talk about home depot. this is a big asset, second biggest retailer in the united states, and it's an intersection of a lot of different things. it speaks to employment, speaks to housing, it speaks to home improvement, and if one likes to draw trend lines, you can't draw any more precise trend line than that and you can't call it anything other than a break in trend. this has been responding to the trend line perfectly for the better part of three years and over the last six, seven months, we have clearly left the direction we've been in. now, you can draw it this way. you can draw it this way. i would call it a well-defined bullish to bearish reversal. the implications are, of course, that you have great risk of breaking here from these lo

and as this is the third year, of a multiyear funding cycle that will remain unchanged from years one and two. and they do want to let you know that we did receive a decrease in a couple of our funding sources, so, our community development block grant, over all, decreased 3 percent, from 13, 14 to 14, 5 meaning that there was a $528 decrease in our federal allocation and so which simply received over all approximately $400,000 decrease in the hocwa funds and they are spread across a number of jurisdictions and once we spread that out, the decrease on the hawka side is about $76,000, and in order to keep our organizations whole, over the multiyear funding cycle. we did allocate what we called the reprogram dollars what we see in the resolution and occasionally we give the funds for example, for capitol project and don't move forward and there are construction difficulties and so we take those funds and we use it to supplement to that organization. and so that they could rely on our promise to do our best to keep them whole over the multi, year funding cycle. and you also know that we
