OR, it may go up if commodities continue going up in the face of the inflation.

I believe in the efficient markets too, and when everyone is being so pessimistic it must be reflected in the prices already.

Do you do stocks or are you only interested in Forex?

Just do pay your attention to these TSE’s subsectors weights, relatively to the mass of whole index . We can see here the strong correlation between commodity markets and linked subsectors of “casual” stock markets. But i don’t think that there’s the opposite correlation between weakness NYSE market and the strength market in Toronto.
“The price of spot gold reached a 28-year high, lifting the TSX gold subsector 3.6 percent.
Meanwhile, violence in OPEC members Nigeria and Algeria helped boost the price of U.S. crude oil. Energy-sector buyers were also emboldened by firm natural gas futures.
Barrick Gold climbed C$2.57 to C$44.34 and Goldcorp added C$2.18 to C$35.98.
EnCana, Canada’s biggest oil and gas producer and the index’s fourth-biggest member by weight, was up C$1.49 at C$68.99, while Suncor Energy, sixth-biggest on the index, was up C$2.00 at C$109.91. The S&P/TSX composite index GSPTSE was up 86.65 points, or 0.6 percent, at 13,919.71 with the materials group ahead 2.6 percent and energy up 1.6 percent.”

The subprime crisis is so gigantic and has such fundamental and negative issues for the globalized financial sector, so we can’t speak about any recession-proof market in the mature world.
“Banks and other financial institutions pulled in the opposite direction. The sector was down 0.8 percent after logging a modest loss in 2007.”

On the other hand i know and beleive personally that “Market action discounts everything”,
so the prices chart includes all the necessary information for us…
