MARKET COMMENTS
Sep E-mini S&Ps (ESU17 -0.17%) this morning are down -3.25 points (-0.13%). Tuesday's closes: S&P 500 -0.67%, Dow Jones -0.29%, Nasdaq -0.80%. The S&P 500 on Tuesday closed lower on a sell-off in energy stocks after crude oil prices tumbled -2.41% to a 7-month low and on weakness in mining stocks after copper prices fell -1.35% and gold prices slid -0.26% to a 1-month low.
Sep 10-year T-notes (ZNU17 -0.01%) this morning are up +0.5 of a tick. Tuesday's closes: TYU7 +9.50, FVU7 +5.00. Sep 10-year T-notes on Tuesday closed higher on dovish comments from Chicago Fed President Evans who said the Fed can go until December to see if inflation picks up before it decides to raise interest rates again. T-note prices were also supported by the plunge in crude oil prices to a 7-month low which reduced inflation expectations as the 10-year T-note breakeven inflation rate dropped to an 8-month low.
The dollar index (DXY00 -0.14%) this morning is down -0.113 (-0.12%). EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is up +0.0016 (+0.14%) and USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is down -0.11 (-0.10%). Tuesday's closes: Dollar index +0.212 (+0.22%), EUR/USD -0.0015 (-0.13%), USD/JPY -0.08 (-0.07%). The dollar index on Tuesday climbed to a 1-month high and closed higher on weakness in GBP/USD which tumbled to a 1-month low after comments from BOE Governor Carney quashed speculation the BOE will hike rates soon when he said that now is not the time to raise rates because of still-weak wage pressures and uncertainties over Brexit. There was also weakness in EUR/USD which dropped to a 3-week low after weaker-than-expected German May PPI bolstered the case for the ECB to maintain its QE program.
Aug WTI crude oil prices (CLQ17 -0.09%) this morning are down -3 cents (-0.07%) and Aug gasoline (RBQ17 +0.16%) is +0.0003 (+0.02%). Tuesday's closes: Aug crude -1.07 (-2.41%), Aug gasoline -0.0258 (-1.79%). Aug crude oil and gasoline on Tuesday closed lower with Aug crude at a 7-month low. Crude oil prices were undercut by the rally in the dollar index to a 1-month high and by concern that rising Libyan crude production will add to a global crude supply glut after an official at the Libyan National Oil Corp. said that Libyan oil output has now risen to 902,000 bpd, a 4-year high.

European stocks moved higher Tuesday on the heels of Monday's rally in U.S. markets where the S&P 500 climbed to a new all-time high. Gains were limited as energy stocks moved lower with Aug WTI crude oil (CLQ17 -1.85%) down -1.78% at a 7-month low on concern that rising Libyan oil production will increase the global oil surplus.
