Importantly breaking through the above the 5m homes level it has been flirting with all year. Month-on-month sales increased 7.2%,
better than the 2.1% increase forecast and last month's 3.6% improvement.

Industrials - Comments from Fed Chairman Bernanke that the prospects for a return to growth in the near term appear good, added to
feelings that the economy is stabilizing and helped give industrial names a boost. Merck rose 3.9%, Walt Disney gained 3.5%, Home
Depot up 3.1% and GE put on 2.9%.

Financials - Regions Financial gained 6.7% to top the S&P 100, Citi put on 4.9% and JP Morgan rose 2.9% as the financials were also
caught up in the positivity from both Fed officials and housing prices.

Resources - Oil hit its highest level this year and copper reaching 11-week highs on the back of better eco data in the US and across
Europe. Caterpillar topped the Dow gainers up 4%, Exxon rose 2%, and Chevron up 1.6%, the three adding over 30pts between them.

Treasuries - US Treasuries fell by between 10 and 13 basis points across the 2, 20 and 30 year maturities as Fed Reserve Chairman
Bernanle said the global economy is "beinning to emerge" from recession.

United Kingdom & Europe Commentary


All the right kind of records set on Friday. Crude year highs, Copper 11 week highs and the FTSE up 2% and along the way hitting it's
highest level since October 2008. The moves even more pronounced across broader Europe, the DAX and CAC both finishing 3%
higher.

Airlines - British Airways topped the FTSE, up over 7% on what most put down to a short squeeze. Elsewhere, Easy Jet and Ryan Air
up 4.1% and 2.2%, both moves on heavy turnover.

Insurers - Legal & General up 5.6% and just behind BA on the FTSE leaderboard after one broker added the name to their high
conviction list. Most of the other sector constituents came along for the ride, Aviva up 5.5%, Friends Provident 4.3% and Old Mutual
finished 3.3% higher.
Eco - A better than expected result for German PMI, Manufacturing coming in at 49.0 vs 47.0 expected and July's 45.7, Services
54.1(up thru 50 signalling expansion) vs 48.6 expected and last months 48.1.

Financials - 2nd to the cyclicals but one of the standout sectors across broader Europe. BNP up 6%, Credit Agricole 5.2%, Allianz up
3.6% and Deutsche Banks finished 3.3% higher. All 4 featuring in their corresponding top10's.

Resources Commentary
Miners - Following a better night from the metals and a night punctuated by optimism around global growth, moves from the metal
plays were good without being spectacular. Rio up 2.7%, Billiton 1.8% higher and the UK Mining sector finished 2.6% higher.

Energy - Oil plays among the larger contributors to the FTSE's gains following the bounce from crude. Carin Energy, Royal Dutch and
BP up 4%, 3 % and 2% respectively, together accounting for c20% of the days gains.

Trading Update:

CSL Limited (CSLVZO) – Strong result, buyback is back


We have been bullish CSL under $30 and believe the stock is still cheap following the results announcement. Sales
revenue grew by 30.0% to A$4.62bn and total revenue was up 32% to A$5.04bn. Normalised net profit after tax was
A$1,020.4m (up 45.4% on the pcp). Reuters consensus NPAT was A$1019.3m, with a range of A$911m- 1,123m. CSL
hopes to migrate most patients to Privigen, its liquid IVIG, with the aim of selling 10Mg of Privigen in FY10F. Given solid
underlying demand, we continue to believe this is possible. CSL has also recommenced the on market buyback. Buy the
dips. RBS research have a BUY with target price of $37.50

Source: IRESS

CSL has guided to FY10 NPAT of A$1,160m-1,260m in constant-currency terms. RBS have a FY10F NPAT forecast of
A$1169.0m, which implies a growth rate of 14.6% on the pcp.

RBS Research continue to believe CSL is a high-quality franchise. The next catalyst for the stock should be a 9
September US FDA decision whether to reimburse for HPV vaccination in boys.

Bluescope Steel (BSLKZI) – Buy the pullback


We believe the recent pullback in BSL is a buying opportunity. BSL FY09 reported NPAT loss of A$66m, closing the
books on a very challenging six months. Whilst we expect continued uncertainty in demand, a return to profit in 2Q10
appears likely as domestic prices and production levels recover and this is what the market is beginning to focus on. We
think earnings leverage and long-term value are both appealing. RBS Research has a buy recommendation with $3.55
target price. Buy BSLKZI..

Source: IRESS

Result well-guided, with cost savings a highlight


The FY09 reported NPAT loss was A$66m with underlying NPAT of A$56m which was in line with RBS expectations.
Also, the lack of a dividend for 2H09 should not have surprised, and we think a distribution is unlikely to be paid until at
least 2H10 as earnings levels firm. Despite this, RBS Research believe news of achieved permanent cost savings of
A$132m set the tone for the earnings recovery story to come into focus.

Management forecasting small NPAT loss for 1H10


BSL has guided for a small reported NPAT loss in 1H10. However, with domestic price increases likely to be announced
for 1 October, and the Port Kembla mills running at ~75% utilisation, we anticipate BSL returning to profit in 2Q10, with
economic indicators stabilising

RBS Research find the stock appealing at these levels given its earnings leverage to a steel market recovery and a
reasonable 0.97x P/B (FY10F). RBS maintain Buy recommendation and target price of $3.55

Telstra Corporation (TLSSZX) – Future Fund selldown


TLS is set to go ex-dividend today. The dividend is $0.14 which will be fully franked. Last Friday TLS pulled back after the
Future Fund offered 498mln TLS shares at $3.47, cum dividend. RBS Research consider the Future Fund selldown a
good thign for shareholders despite the ongoing overhang. Use the pullback as a buying opportunity. Buy TLSSZX

Telstra Result points and fundamentals

• Broadband ARPU increased 6.5% to A$57.70. MBB SIOs doubled to 1.05m, helping lift mobile ARPU 4.8% to
A$51.84.
• Sales of IP-based products also increased at double-digit rates. With the rate of PSTN erosion reducing in 2H09
(cf 1H09) the speed-driven revenue lines helped keep total revenue growth at 2.7%, a good rate given the
economic slowdown.
• Maintaining comparable revenue growth in FY10 may be harder as unemployment rises, the A$ strengthens and
Sensis sales face a tougher business environment.
• The company says achieving its FY10 targets ‘would give us significant excess free cashflow, and all the
flexibility that brings’. We think there is enough flexibility to contribute to NBN Co, on the right terms, and still pay
an extra 2cps in dividends fully franked.
• RBS Research valuation $4.85 with a target price of $4.30, which is 12.0x FY10F EPS of 35.6c.
• Key downside risks include further margin contraction, tougher regulation and lower access prices.
• Upside risks include faster sales recovery, better cost control and higher access prices. Regulatory issues may
be clearer when proposed legislation is tabled, we think by September.

KEY BENEFITS of the new RBS self funding instalments include:

* NO PUT PROTECTION COST


* Simple, transparent and Cost-effective with a low interest rate of 7.51% per annum
* 1 for 1 movement with the underlying share (delta 1)
* No margin calls
* Non-recourse loan - You can never lose more than your initial outlay
* ATO product rulings - Perfectly suitable to be used in SMSF's
* Listed - Can be sold at anytime
* Can be exercised at any time - simply by paying back loan amount
* RBS are the only product issuer in the market who can offer this product
* Dividends and franking credit benefits as well as interest deductibility
