Barchart Morning Call 3/29

Barchart Morning Call
Overnight Developments
  • Global stocks this morning are lower with the Euro Stoxx 50 down -0.83% and Jun S&Ps down -5.00 points. The dollar and Treasuries rose while stocks and commodities declined after the head of sovereign ratings at Standard & Poor's said Greece will probably have to restructure its debt again and this may involve bailout partners such as European governments. The IMF mission chief to Greece added that while the country has made an "aggressive" fiscal adjustment, it will take at least a decade to fully complete the country's restructuring. Another negative for European stocks and the euro was the unexpected -0.1 point decline in Mar Euro-Zone economic confidence to 94.4, weaker than expectations of +0.1 to 94.5. On the positive side, Mar German unemployment fell -18,000, more than expectations of -10,000, while the Mar unemployment rate unexpectedly fell -0.1 to 6.7%, better than expectations of unchanged at 6.8% and the lowest since data for a reunified Germany began in 1991. Crude oil prices declined after French Premier Fillon told France Inter Radio that the prospects of an accord between the U.S. and Europe on tapping strategic oil reserves are "good."
  • Asian stocks today closed lower with Japan down -0.67%, China -1.28%, Australia -0.13%, South Korea -0.93%, India -0.37%. Asian stocks closed lower on concerns China's economic slowdown is weighing on company earnings and after U.S. durable goods orders rose less than expected. The yen rose against the dollar, which weakened Japanese exporters, on speculation Japanese companies will repatriate overseas earnings before the end of the fiscal year on Mar 31. A bullish factor for Japanese stocks was the +2.0% m/m and +3.5% y/y increase in Feb Japan retail sales, stronger than expectations of unchanged m/m and +1.4% y/y, with the +3.5% y/y increase the biggest gain in 1-1/2 years. China's Shanghai Stock Index slipped to a 2-1/4 month low on concern the slowing economy is undercutting company earnings. Data from Bloomberg show 505 companies in the Shanghai Composite have released annual earnings with an average profit growth of 17%, compared with 38% growth in the previous year.
Overnight U.S. Stock News
  • June S&Ps this morning are trading down -5.00 points. The U.S. stock market Wednesday retreated after durable goods orders rose less than forecast and after a slide in crude oil drove energy producers lower: Dow Jones -0.54%, S&P 500 -0.49%, Nasdaq Composite -0.49%. The Nasdaq rallied up to an 11-year high early, but gave up its advance and closed lower. Bearish factors Wednesday included (1) the smaller-than-expected increase in Feb U.S. durable goods orders (+2.2% and +1.6% ex transportation, weaker than expectations of +3.0% and +1.7% ex transportation), (2) weakness in energy producers after a surge in weekly DOE crude inventories sent oil prices tumbling, and (3) global growth concerns after Q4 U.K. and French GDP were revised lower.
  • Bullish factors Wednesday included (1) reduced European sovereign debt concerns after Italy auctioned 8.5 billion euros of T-bills at 1.119%, the lowest yield in 1-1/2 years and after Italian Prime Minister Monti said that the Euro-Zone's debt woes are "almost over," and (2) a rally in oil-tanker companies after Dahlman Rose & Co. said the industry's asset prices may gain as much as 20% within a year as sanctions targeting Iran's crude exports alters trading patterns and reduces a glut in global oil tanker fleets.
  • Mosaic (MOS) fell 2.2% in European trading after the company reported Q3 EPS of 64 cents a share, weaker than analysts' estimates of 69 cents, citing lower potash volumes and higher phosphate raw-material costs.
Today's Market Focus
  • June 10-year T-notes this morning are up +5 ticks. T-note prices Wednesday moved higher into early afternoon after the Fed bought long-term Treasuries as part of its Operation Twist program and Feb durable goods orders rose less than expected but prices faded into the close and settled little changed on lackluster demand for the Treasury's $35 billion 5-year T-note auction: TYM2 -0.5, FVM2 -1.0, EDU2 -0.5. Bullish factors Wednesday included (1) the smaller-than-expected increase in Feb U.S. durable goods orders (+2.2% and +1.6% ex transportation, weaker than expectations of +3.0% and +1.7% ex transportation), and (2) the Fed's purchase of $4.81 billion of Treasuries as part of its Operation Twist program to replace $400 billion of short-term debt in its portfolio with longer-term Treasuries in an attempt to keep borrowing costs low. Bearish factors included (1) reduced safe-haven demand for Treasuries as European sovereign-debt concerns eased after Italy auctioned 8.5 billion euros of T-bills at 1.119%, the lowest yield in 1-1/2 years, (2) slack demand for the Treasury's $35 billion auction of 5-year T-notes that had a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.85, weaker than the 12-auction average of 2.89, and (3) supply pressures ahead of the Treasury's $29 billion auction of 7-year T-notes on Thu.
  • The dollar index this morning is higher with the dollar/yen -0.66 yen and the euro/dollar -0.42 cents. The dollar index Wednesday strengthened after the euro and British pound declined when Q4 U.K. and French GDP were revised lower along with increased safe-haven demand for the greenback after stocks moved lower: Dollar Index +0.079, USD/JPY -0.279, EUR/USD +0.00020. Bullish factors included (1) weakness in the British pound and the euro after Q4 U.K. and French GDP were revised lower, and (2) increased safe-haven demand for the dollar after stocks declined. Bearish factors included (1) euro positive comments from Italian Prime Minister Monti who said that the Euro-Zone's debt woes are "almost over" after a slow initial response by policy makers, (2) Italy's auction of 8.5 billion euros of T-bills at 1.119%, the lowest yield in 1-1/2 years, which reduces the safe-haven demand for the dollar as European debt concerns ease, and (3) a draft statement for Euro-Zone finance ministers that said European governments are preparing for a 1-year increase in the ceiling on rescue funds to 940 billion euros to combat the European debt crisis, which is euro supportive.
  • May crude oil prices this morning are down -64 cents a barrel and May gasoline is +0.10 of a cent per gallon. Crude oil and gasoline prices Wednesday tumbled as the dollar rose and after weekly DOE crude oil inventories climbed by the most since July 2010: CLK12 -$1.92, RBK -2.43. Bearish factors included (1) the stronger dollar, which diminishes investment demand in commodities, (2) the surge in weekly DOE crude stockpiles by the most in 20-months to a 7-month high (+7.10 million bbl to 353.4 million bbl versus expectations of +2.7 million bbl), (3) a possible release of SPR supplies in an attempt to curb rising oil prices after French Budget Minister Pecresse said "France is accompanying the U.S. and U.K. in an IEA consultation that could allow the release of strategic oil reserves in order to break the rising price spiral," and (4) the downward revisions to Q4 U.K. and French GDP, which indicates reduced energy consumption. Bullish factors included (1) the larger-than-expected decline in weekly DOE gasoline supplies (-3.54 million bbl versus expectations of -1.55 million bbl) and (2) increased crude consumption in Japan, the world's third-largest oil consumer, after data showed Japan's utilities use of crude oil for generating power rose +118% in 2011 to 8.8 million kiloliters, or a 4-year high of 400,000 barrels a day, as it runs out of capacity to use liquefied natural gas as a stopgap for idled nuclear-power plants.

Barchart Morning Call 3/28

Barchart Morning Call
Overnight Developments
  • Global stocks this morning are mixed with the Euro Stoxx 50 down -0.21% and Jun S&Ps up +2.80 points. The dollar and Treasuries are little changed, while commodities and European stocks weakened after the French and British economies grew less than expected last quarter. Q4 French GDP was revised down to +1.3% annualized from +1.4% y/y and Q4 U.K. GDP was revised down to -0.3% q/q and +0.5% y/y, weaker than the previously reported -0.2% q/q and +0.7% y/y. European and U.S. stocks were also pressured after a transcript of an interview with ABC News anchor Diane Sawyer revealed that Fed Chairman Bernanke said the U.S. recovery isn't assured and "it's far too early to declare victory." The euro rose against the dollar after Italian Prime Minister Monti said during a visit to Tokyo that the Euro-Zone's debt woes are "almost over" after a slow initial response by policy makers. Natural gas prices posted another fresh 10-year nearest-futures low in overnight trade and metals prices weakened after Goldman Sachs Group cut its 3-month outlook on commodities to neutral from overweight.
  • Asian stocks today closed mostly lower with Japan down -0.71%, China -2.84%, Australia +0.98%, South Korea -0.40%, India -0.79%. Asian stocks fell after Chinese companies reported slumping profits and Societe Generale said consensus earnings expectations for some Chinese companies are "far too optimistic." China's Shanghai Stock Index tumbled to a 1-1/2 month low led by a 21% plunge in Gome Electrical Appliances Holdings Ltd. after China's second-largest electronics retailer said net income last year dropped to 1.84 billion yuan, weaker than analysts' estimates of 2.42 billion yuan. Chinese metal producers also fell as Jiangxi Copper, China's biggest copper producer by market value, fell 2.4% after it reported an 18% fall in profit and Angang Steel dropped 2.2% after reporting a wider-than-expected loss.
Overnight U.S. Stock News
  • June S&Ps this morning are trading up +2.80 points. The U.S. stock market Tuesday fell back from an early rally and settled lower as profit-taking set in after the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq posted new yearly highs: Dow Jones -0.33%, S&P 500 -0.28%, Nasdaq Composite -0.07%. The S&P 500 posted a 3-3/4 year high, the Dow climbed to a 1-week high and the Nasdaq rallied up to an 11-year high, but they all gave up their gains and closed lower. Bearish factors Tuesday included (1) the larger-than-expected decline in the Mar Richmond Fed manufacturing index to its weakest level in 4 months (-13 to 7 versus expectations of -2 to 18), (2) concern over contagion of the European sovereign-debt crisis to Portugal after Fitch Ratings said Portuguese banks remain on "shaky ground," and (3) late afternoon comments from Fed Chairman Bernanke that prompted profit-taking and long liquidation when he said its "too early to declare victory" on the U.S. recovery as unemployment remains too high.
  • Bullish factors Tuesday included (1) strength in homebuilders after a smaller-than-expected decline in Jan S&P/CaseShiller composite-20 home prices (unchanged m/m versus expectations of -0.3% m/m), (2) the stronger than expected Mar U.S. consumer confidence (-1.4 to 70.2 versus expectations of -0.7 to 70.1), and (3) comments from the first managing director of the IMF who said "We expect modest growth in the U.S., mild recession in Europe and a continuation of a comfortable level of growth in Asia with a soft landing in China."
Today's Market Focus
  • June 10-year T-notes this morning are down -2.5 ticks. T-note prices Tuesday rallied up to a 1-1/2 week high and settled higher after the Fed bought long-term Treasuries as part of its Operation Twist program, the Mar Richmond Fed manufacturing index weakened more than expected and strong demand was seen for the Treasury's $35 billion auction of 2-year T-notes: TYM2 +17.0, FVM2 +9.5, EDU2 +2.0. Bullish factors Tuesday included (1) the Fed's purchase of $1.969 billion of Treasuries as part of its Operation Twist program to replace $400 billion of short-term debt in its portfolio with longer-term Treasuries in an attempt to keep borrowing costs low, (2) the larger-than-expected decline in the Mar Richmond Fed manufacturing index to its weakest level in 4 months (-13 to 7 versus expectations of -2 to 18), (3) strong demand for the Treasury's $35 billion auction of 2-yer T-notes that had a bid-to-cover ratio of 3.69, higher than the 12-auction average of 3.46, and (4) dovish comments from Boston Fed President Rosengren who said "if real GDP does not grow more rapidly and unemployment remains at its current unacceptably high level, monetary policy may need to be more accommodative." Bearish factors included (1) the stronger-than-expected Jan S&P/CaseShiller composite-20 home prices (unchanged m/m versus expectations of -0.3% m/m), (2) the stronger than expected Mar U.S. consumer confidence (-1.4 to 70.2 versus expectations of -0.7 to 70.1), and (3) supply pressures ahead of the Treasury's $35 billion auction of 5-year T-notes on Wed.
  • The dollar index this morning is lower with the dollar/yen -0.19 yen and the euro/dollar +0.43 cents. The dollar index Tuesday declined early to a 3-week low but erased its losses and settled higher after stronger than expected U.S. economic data reduced speculation the Fed will increase stimulus measures: Dollar Index +0.174, USD/JPY +0.327, EUR/USD -0.00426. Bullish factors included (1) the stronger-than-expected Mar U.S. consumer confidence and the smaller-than-expected decline in Jan S&P 500/CaseShiller home prices, which signals economic strength that reduces the chances of further Fed stimulus measures, and (2) weakness in the euro which fell back from a 3-1/2 week high against the dollar and closed lower on weak demand for European sovereign debt after Italy sold 3.82 billion euros of bonds, below the maximum target of 4 billion euros, and Spain sold 2.58 billion euros of debt, below its maximum target of 3 billion euros. Bearish factors included (1) the unexpected increase in the Mar French consumer confidence indicator which matched its highest level in 15 months (+5 to 87) and is euro positive, (2) comments from ECB Council member Makuch that reduced expectations of additional ECB stimulus measures when he said he sees no reason for further 3-year loans for now because "the central bank considers as sufficient what it has done so far," and (3) strength in the British pound against the dollar after the pound climbed to a 4-1/4 month high against the dollar after Mar U.K. CBI reported sales rose more than expected.
  • May crude oil prices this morning are down -98 cents a barrel and May gasoline is -4.28 cents per gallon. Crude oil and gasoline prices Tuesday settled mixed after dollar strength and comments from DOE officials about a possible release of Strategic Petroleum Reserves offset the bullish aspects of stronger than expected U.S. economic data on Mar U.S. consumer confidence and Jan S&P/CaseShiller home prices: CLK12 +$0.30, RBK -1.23. Bearish factors included (1) the rebound in the dollar as the dollar index recovered from a 3-week low and settled higher, which diminishes investment demand in commodities, (2) comments from the acting assistant secretary for fossil energy at the DOE who said that a release of oil from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is "being considered," and (3) the larger-than expected decline in the Mar Richmond Fed manufacturing index, which indicates reduced energy consumption. Bullish factors included (1) the stronger-than-expected Mar U.S. consumer confidence, which is positive for fuel demand and (2) the smaller than expected decline in the Jan S&P/CaseShiller composite-20 home prices, which signals economic strength and may lead to increased energy demand. Expectations for Wednesday's weekly DOE inventory report are for crude oil supplies to increase +2.7 million bbl, gasoline stockpiles to fall -1.55 million bbl, distillate inventories to drop -500,000 bbl and the refinery utilization rate to increase +0.3 to 82.5% of capacity.

Bearish factors included (1) the unexpected decline in Feb U.S. new home sales, which signals continued weakness in the U.S. housing market that may keep fuel demand constrained and (2) weakness in stocks, which reduces confidence in the economic outlook and energy demand.
