BC - Fri Feb 01, 7:00AM CST

Overnight Developments

• March E-mini S&Ps this morning are up +0.25% ahead of this morning's Jan payroll report, which is expected to show an increase of +165,000. The U.S. Jan ISM manufacturing index is expected to show a +0.4 point increase to 50.6. E-mini S&Ps are getting a boost overnight from generally positive Chinese manufacturing PMI data and a +0.12% rally in European stocks this morning. Europe received some favorable labor market news with the lower-than-expected Eurozone unemployment rate of 11.7%. Spanish stocks are down -1.81% today as a short-selling ban expired. Asian stocks are mixed this morning with Japan up +0.47%, Hong Kong down -0.03%, and China up sharply by +2.10%. Commodity prices are up +0.24% today. March crude oil is down -0.26%, March gasoline is down -0.59%, April gold is up +0.31%, March copper is down -0.09%, and agriculture prices are mixed. The dollar index is down -0.21% while EUR/USD is up +0.49% on news of additional early-payoffs next week of LTRO loans. USD/JPY is up +0.45%. March 10-year T-note prices are down -5.5 ticks.
• China's manufacturing PMI data was considered net favorable as the HSBC index rose while the small decline in the official PMI was written off as the result of a faulty seasonal adjustment. Both indexes remained above the expansion-contraction level of 50.0. China's Jan HSBC manufacturing PMI rose by +0.8 points to a new 2-year high of 52.3 from 51.5 in Dec and was stronger than market expectations for a +0.5 point increase to 52.0. However, the Jan manufacturing PMI from China's National Bureau of Statistics fell by -0.2 points to 50.4 from 50.6 in December and was weaker than market expectations for a +0.4 point increase to 51.0.
• Germany's final-Jan manufacturing PMI was revised higher to 49.8 from 48.8 while the Eurozone final-Jan PMI was revised higher to 47.9 from 47.5.
• The UK Jan manufacturing PMI fell by 0.4 points to 50.8 from a revised 51.2 in Dec and was weaker than market expectations of a decline to 51.0.
• The Eurozone Dec unemployment rate was unchanged at 11.7% and showed a better labor market than the expected climb in the unemployment rate to a new record high of 11.9%. The Nov rate was revised lower to 11.7% from 11.8%. The report provided some much-needed positive news that the Eurozone labor market at least did not get any worse in December. The report showed that there are 18.7 million unemployed persons in the Eurozone and that the youth unemployment rate is at 24%. Spain had the highest unemployment rate in the Eurozone at the depressionary level of 26.1%.
• The Jan Eurozone CPI eased to +2.0% y/y from +2.2% y/y in Dec and was weaker than market expectations of +2.2% y/y.
• Japan's Jan vehicle sales report of -12.9% y/y was weaker than the Dec report of -3.4% y/y. The weak report reflected the lower sales volume of Japanese vehicles in China due to the Japan-China dispute over the islands in the East China Sea.
  Market Comments
  • March E-mini S&Ps this morning are up +3.75 points (+0.25%) on favorable Chinese and European economic data overnight. The S&P 500 index on Thursday settled lower as long liquidation set in ahead of Friday's Jan payroll report. Closes: S&P 500 -0.26%, Dow Jones -0.36%, Nasdaq -0.26%. Bearish factors included the +38,000 increase in weekly initial unemployment claims (more than expectations of +20,000), and the +0.2% increase in Dec personal spending (weaker than expectations of +0.3%). Supportive factors included the +2.6% increase in Dec personal income (stronger than expectations of +0.8%), the Jan Chicago purchasing managers index of +5.6 to 55.6 (better than expectations of +1.6 to 50.5 and its strongest pace of growth in 9 months), and continued strong quarterly stock earnings results as 75% of the 232 companies in the S&P 500 that reported earnings so far this season have beaten profit estimates.
  • March 10-year T-notes this morning are down 5.5 ticks on reduced safe-haven demand with generally higher global stock markets this morning. March 10-year T-note prices on Thursday closed higher as weak stocks and a larger-than-expected increase in weekly initial jobless claims offset the bearish Jan Chicago purchasing managers index that grew at its fastest pace in 9 months. Closes: TYH3 +3.0, FVH3 +1.25.
  • The dollar index this morning is down -0.16 points (-0.21%) while EUR/USD is up +0.0066 (+0.49%) and USD/JPY is up +0.41 (+0.45%). EUR/USD is higher on positive labor market data and news that banks next week will pay off more of their 3-year emergency LTRO loans early. The dollar index on Thursday posted a new 5-week low and closed lower on speculation of continued dollar-negative Fed stimulus after U.S. weekly jobless claims rose more than expected. EUR/USD climbed to a fresh 14-1/2 month high after German Jan unemployment fell by -16,000, which showed a stronger labor market than market expectations for an +8,000 increase. USD/JPY rallied to another 2-1/2 year high on expectations for further asset purchases from the BOJ, which is negative for the yen. Closes: Dollar index -0.074 (-0.09%), EUR/USD +0.00106 (+0.08%), USD/JPY +0.617 (+0.67%).
  • March WTI crude oil this morning is down -0.25 (-0.26%) and March gasoline is down -0.0179 (-0.59%). Mar crude oil and gasoline Thursday closed lower on concerns over the strength of the global economy after U.S. weekly jobless claims rose more than expected and German Dec retail sales and Japan Dec industrial production were weaker than expected. Limiting declines were the slide in the dollar index to a fresh 5-week low along with reduced OPEC output after a survey of oil companies, producers and analysts showed Jan OPEC oil production fell -1.7% m/m to 30.479 million barrels a day, the slowest output in 15 months. Closes: CLH3 -0.45 (-0.46%), RBH3 -0.0015 (-0.05%).

Oceaneerig International, with a market cap of $6.788 billion, is an advanced applied technology company that provides engineered services and hardware to customers who operate in marine, space and other harsh environments. The company supplies a comprehensive range of integrated technical services to a wide array of industries and is one of the world's largest underwater services contractors.

Barchart's Morning Call 1/31

Barchart Morning Call

BC - Thu Jan 31, 7:00AM CST

Overnight Developments

• March E-mini S&Ps this morning are trading slightly lower on continued overhang from yesterday's weak U.S. Q4 GDP report of -0.1% and a -0.86% sell-off in European stocks this morning. The German unemployment report showed a slightly stronger labor market than expected and the UK consumer confidence index improved, but German retail sales were weak and the Japan industrial production report was weaker than expected. Asian stocks closed mostly lower today. Japan closed up +0.22% but Hong Kong closed down -0.39% and China closed down -0.07%. Commodity prices are mildly lower by -0.13%. March crude oil is down -0.26%, March gasoline is down -0.12%, Feb gold is down -0.23%, March copper is up +0.05%, and agriculture prices are trading mostly lower. The dollar index is little changed while EUR/USD is down -0.10% and USD/JPY is down -0.03%. March 10-year T-note prices are up 10 ticks.
• The Japan Dec industrial production report of +2.5% m/m and -7.8% y/y was weaker than market expectations of +4.1% m/m and -5.6% y/y.
• Japan's Dec vehicle production weakened sharply to -17.2% y/y from -8.4% y/y in November. Japan's vehicle sales continue to be hurt by a partial Chinese boycott of Japanese products tied to the dispute over the islands in the East China Sea.
• The UK Jan GfK consumer confidence index improved by 3 points to -26 from -29 in December and was slightly better than market expectations for a 1 point improvement to -28.
• German Dec retail sales fell -1.7% m/m and -4.7% y/y, which was much weaker than market expectations of -0.1% m/m and -1.5% y/y.
• German Jan unemployment fell by -16,000, which showed a stronger labor market than market expectations for an +8,000 increase. Unemployment fell slightly by a revised -2,000 in December. The German Jan unemployment rate fell by -0.1 point to 6.8% from 6.9% in December.
  Market Comments
  • March E-mini S&Ps this morning are trading -1.75 points (-0.12%) as the market continues to be undercut by yesterday's weak GDP report of -0.1% and by nervousness ahead of tomorrow's Jan payroll report. The S&P 500 index on Wednesday fell back from a 5-year high and closed lower on long liquidation after U.S. Q4 GDP unexpectedly contracted -0.1% (q/q annualized), weaker than expectations of +1.1% and the slowest pace of growth since Q2 2009. Closes: S&P 500 -0.39%, Dow Jones -0.32%, Nasdaq -0.18%. Bullish factors included the +192,000 increase in the Jan ADP employment change, stronger than expectations of +165,000, along with continued strong quarterly stock earnings results as 75% of the 193 companies in the S&P 500 that reported earnings so far this season have beaten profit estimates. Further support for stocks came from the Fed's post FOMC statement in which the Fed restated its commitment to asset purchases "if the outlook for the labor market does not improve substantially."
  • March 10-year T-notes this morning are up 10 ticks as the market sees continued support from yesterday's weak U.S GDP report. March 10-year T-note prices on Wednesday closed mixed as the 10-year T-note yield climbed to a 9-month high of 2.035% on reduced safe-haven demand after the S&P 500 posted a fresh 5-year high and after the Jan ADP employment change rose by +192,000. However, prices rebounded from their worst levels after U.S. Q4 GDP unexpectedly contracted and after the Fed restated its commitment to asset purchases in its post-FOMC statement. Closes: TYH3 -1.0, FVH3 +1.25.
  • The dollar index this morning is slightly higher by +0.05 (+0.06%) while EUR/USD is down -0.0014 (-0.10%) and USD/JPY is down -0.03%. The dollar index on Wednesday slumped to a 5-week low as an unexpected contraction in U.S. Q4 GDP fueled speculation of further dollar-negative Fed stimulus, while EUR/USD surged to a 14-month high after Eurozone Jan economic confidence rose by 2.2 points to a 7-month high of 89.2. USD/JPY pushed up to a fresh 2-1/2 year high after comments from Kikuo Iwata, a potential candidate to become the next BOJ governor, who said the BOJ's best bet for achieving its inflation target is to "more than double" the assets in its current account, which suggests he favors additional quantitative easing measures by the BOJ that would be bearish for the yen. Closes: Dollar index -0.288 (-0.36%), EUR/USD +0.00754 (+0.55%), USD/JPY +0.379 (+0.41%).
  • March WTI crude oil this morning is mildly lower by -0.25 (-0.26%) and March gasoline is down -0.0036 (-0.12%). Mar crude oil and gasoline Wednesday closed higher as Mar crude posted a 4-1/4 month high and Mar gasoline climbed to a 4-month high. Bullish factors of a weak dollar and an unexpected decline in weekly DOE gasoline inventories were overshadowed by the bearish factors of an unexpected contraction in U.S Q4 GDP and a larger-than-expected build in weekly DOE crude supplies. Weekly DOE crude supplies rose +5.95 million bbl, more than double expectations for a +2.5 million bbl increase, gasoline inventories unexpectedly fell -956,000 bbl, weaker than expectations of a +1.0 million bbl build, while distillate supplies fell -2.32 million bbl, more than expectations of a -500,000 bbl draw. Closes: CLH3 +0.37 (+0.38%), RBH3 +0.0569 (+1.91%).

Barchart Morning Call 1/30

Barchart Morning Call

BC - Wed Jan 30, 7:00AM CST

Overnight Developments

• March E-mini S&Ps this morning are trading unchanged ahead of today's FOMC meeting and GDP and ADP reports. European stocks are down -0.24% while Asian stocks closed higher almost across the board. Japan closed +2.28%, Hong Kong closed +0.71%, and China closed +0.48%. Commodity prices are trading moderately higher by +0.53%. March crude oil is up +0.33%, March gasoline is up +0.19%, Feb gold is up +0.17%, March copper is up +1.15%, and agriculture prices are trading mostly higher. The dollar index is down -0.19% while EUR/USD has continued higher and is up +0.39%. USD/JPY is up +0.60%. March 10-year T-notes are down 7 ticks on reduced safe-haven demand.
• The FOMC at its meeting today is unanimously expected to leave its policy unchanged with its QE3 program at $85 billion per month. The FOMC needs to maintain its insurance policy on the U.S. economy as Washington engages in its fiscal battle over the next three months capped by the return of the debt limit in mid-May. However, the minutes from the December FOMC meeting said that FOMC members generally expect QE3 to end somewhere between mid-2013 and the end of 2013. The FOMC's zero interest rate policy, by contrast, is still expected to last until 2015.
• Eurozone Jan economic confidence rose by 2.2 points to a 7-month high of 89.2 from 87.0 in December, which was 1.0 stronger than market expectations for an increase to 88.2. Dec was revised higher by +0.8 points to 87.8 from 87.0. The report provided some additional hopeful signs that the Eurozone economy has bottomed and is set to slowly improve this year.
• Spain's Q4 GDP fell -0.7% q/q (-2.8% annualized), which was worse than the Q3 rate of -0.3% q/q (-1.2% annualized) but generally in line with market expectations. On a year-on-year basis, Spain's GDP fell -1.8% in Q4 and by -1.4% for the full 2012 calendar year. The market consensus is that the Spanish economy will see another year of recession in 2013 with a GDP decline of -1.5%, but then improve to +0.4% in 2014.
• Japan Dec retail trade rose +0.1% m/m and +0.4% y/y, which was a bit weaker than market expectations of +0.4% m/m.
  Market Comments
  • March E-mini S&Ps this morning are trading unchanged as the market treads water ahead of today's FOMC meeting and GDP and ADP reports. The S&P 500 index on Tuesday shook off early weakness and rallied to a fresh 5-year high and closed higher on better-than-expected quarterly stock earnings results along with improved global economic sentiment. Closes: S&P 500 +0.51%, Dow Jones +0.52%, Nasdaq +0.04%. Strength in home prices bolstered confidence in the economic outlook after the Nov S&P/CaseShiller composite-20 home price index rose +5.5% y/y, the biggest increase in 6 years. Other bullish factors included a rally in European stocks after Italy's 6-month bill yields declined to a 3-year low of 0.73% and German Feb Gfk consumer confidence rose by +0.2 to 5.8, which reduced European sovereign debt concerns. Earnings results from U.S. companies were another positive for stocks with profits beating estimates at 75% of the 175 companies in the S&P 500 that have reported earnings so far this season. Prices dipped briefly mid-morning after U.S. Jan consumer confidence showed a larger-than-expected decline of -8.1 to a 14-month low of 58.6.
  • March 10-year T-notes this morning are down 7 ticks as the market sees additional weakness on reduced safe-haven demand. March 10-year T-note prices on Tuesday closed little changed as stock market strength reduced safe-haven demand for Treasuries and offset the larger-than-expected -8.1 point decline in U.S. Jan consumer confidence to a 14-month low. Another negative for T-note prices was the +5.5% y/y increase in the Nov S&P/CaseShiller home price index, the biggest y/y gain in 6 years. Closes: TYH3 unch, FVH3 +1.25.
  • The dollar index this morning is down -0.15 (-0.19%) on reduced safe-haven demand. EUR/USD is up +0.0053 (+0.39%) and USD/JPY is up +0.54 (+0.60%). The dollar index on Tuesday fell to a 2-week low on reduced safe-haven demand after the S&P 500 rose to a fresh 5-year high. EUR/USD climbed to a 13-3/4 month high after Italy successfully sold 8.5 billion euros of 6-month bills at 0.731%, the lowest rate in nearly 3 years, illustrating the containment of the European debt crisis. Closes: Dollar index -0.272 (-0.34%), EUR/USD +0.00366 (+0.27%), USD/JPY -0.135 (-0.14%).
  • March WTI crude oil this morning is up +0.32 (+0.33%) and March gasoline is up +0.0057 (+0.19%). Mar crude oil and gasoline Tuesday closed higher as a rally in the S&P 500 to a 5-year high boosted economic sentiment. Increased geopolitical concerns also helped propel Mar crude to a 4-1/4 month high and Mar gasoline to a 3-1/2 month high after Egypt's defense chief warned that continued political unrest could bring about the "collapse" of the state, which may slow or stop the flow of crude through the Suez Canal. Expectations for Wednesday's weekly DOE report are for a +2.5 million barrel increase in crude oil inventories, a +1.0 million barrel increase in gasoline inventories, a -500,000 barrel decline in distillate inventories, and a -0.3 point decline in the refinery utilization rate. Closes: CLH3 +1.13 (+1.17%), RBH3 +0.0354 (+1.20%).

Barchart Morning Call 1/29

Barchart Morning Call

BC - 37 mins ago

Overnight Developments

• March E-mini S&Ps this morning are mildly lower as the market runs into some long liquidation pressure ahead of today's consumer confidence and Case-Shiller home price reports, a full slate of earnings reports, and the beginning of the 2-day FOMC meeting. The FOMC at tomorrow's post-meeting announcement is unanimously expected to leave its QE3 program unchanged at $85 billion per month. European stocks this morning are down -0.32%. Asian stocks closed mixed today. Japan closed +0.39%, Hong Kong closed -0.07%, and China closed +0.91%. Commodity prices are mildly higher by +0.14%. March crude oil is up +0.03%, March gasoline is down -0.64%, Feb gold is up +0.56%, March copper is up +0.12%, grains are slightly higher, livestock is slightly lower, and softs are mostly higher. The dollar index is little changed while EUR/USD is down -0.15%. USD/JPY is down -0.40%. March 10-year T-notes are up 5 ticks.
• Italy today successfully sold 8.5 billion euros of 6-month bills at 0.731%, the lowest rate in nearly 3 years and down from 0.95% at the last sale of that security in December. The lower 6-month bill rate is another indicator of the containment for the time being of the European debt crisis.
• The German Feb GfK consumer confidence index edged higher to 5.8 from 5.6 in January and was slightly stronger than market expectations of 5.7.
• China's Dec leading index rose to 100.50 from a revised 100.37 in November (preliminary 100.21).
• India cut its key repurchase rate by 25 bp to 7.75% from 8.00%, which was in line with market expectations. That was the first rate cut since April. The Reserve Bank of India was able to cut the rate to give some support to the economy after inflation fell to a 3-year low.
  Market Comments
  • March E-mini S&Ps this morning are down -0.35% on long liquidation pressure after the recent rally and on the -0.32% sell-off in European stocks this morning. The S&P 500 index on Monday opened higher on carry-over strength from a rally in the Shanghai stock index to a 7-month high after Chinese industrial companies' profits gained for a fourth month and after U.S. Dec durable goods a rose more than expected, but stock prices fell back and closed mixed when U.S. Dec pending home sales unexpectedly declined. Closes: S&P 500 -0.18%, Dow Jones -0.10%, Nasdaq +0.21%. U.S. Dec pending home sales fell -4.3% m/m, weaker than expectations of +0.1% m/m, while Dec durable goods orders rose +4.6% and +1.3% ex transportation, stronger than expectations of +2.0% and +0.8% ex transportation. Another positive for stocks is strong earnings results as 75% of the 150 S&P 500 companies that have released earnings this quarter have beaten estimates.
  • March 10-year T-notes this morning are up 5 ticks on short-covering after the steep recent losses and on this morning's lower trade in E-mini S&Ps. March 10-year T-note prices on Monday slumped to a 9-month nearest-futures low on reduced safe-haven demand after Dec durable goods orders rose more than expected along with supply pressures as the Treasury auctions $99 billion of T-notes this week. Closes: TYH3 -6.0, FVH3 -4.25. The 10-year T-note yield rose to a 9-month high of 2.003%.
  • The dollar index this morning is slightly higher by +0.02 (+0.03%), while EUR/USD is down -0.0020 (-0.15%). USD/JPY is down -0.36 yen (-0.40%). The dollar index on Monday closed slightly higher as the stronger-than-expected Dec durable goods orders reduced speculation of additional Fed easing, which is dollar supportive. USD/JPY rallied to another fresh 2-1/2 year high as the prospects of further BOJ quantitative easing undercut the yen. Closes: Dollar index +0.051 (+0.06%), EUR/USD -0.00086 (-0.06%), USD/JPY -0.024 (-0.02%).
  • March WTI crude oil this morning is up +0.03 (+0.03%) and March gasoline is -0.0189 (-0.64%). Mar crude oil and gasoline Monday closed higher on economic optimism after Dec durable goods orders increased more than expected, while gasoline jumped to a 3-1/2 month high after Hess Corp. said it was closing its 70,000 barrel-a-day refinery in Port Reading, New Jersey next month. Crude prices also received a boost after OPEC Secretary General Abdalla El-Badri said the cartel sees no price collapse in 2013 on expected global demand growth.
