MARKET COMMENTS
June E-mini S&Ps (ESM16 +0.41%) this morning are up +9.75 points (+0.47%) at a fresh 4-1/2 month high. Monday's closes: S&P 500 +0.65%, Dow Jones +0.60%, Nasdaq +0.58%. The S&P 500 on Monday shook off early losses and rallied to a new 4-1/2 month high. Stocks were boosted by upbeat comments from New York Fed President Dudley who said that U.S. economic news is "mostly favorable" and that monetary-policy adjustments are likely to be gradual and cautious. Stocks were also boosted by a partial recovery in oil prices from sharp early losses on the failure of Sunday's Doha production freeze meeting.
June 10-year T-note prices (ZNM16 -0.11%) this morning are down -6 ticks. Monday's closes: TYM6 -4.50, FVM6 -3.00. Jun T-notes on Monday closed lower on reduced safe-haven demand for T-notes after the S&P 500 shook off early losses and rallied to a new 4-1/2 month high. T-notes were also undercut by comments from New Yok Fed President Dudley who said he said he's confident that inflation will return to the Fed's 2% target as transitory downward factors dissipate.
The dollar index (DXY00 -0.16%) this morning is down -0.140 (-0.15%). EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is up +0.0019 (+0.17%). USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is up +0.53 (+0.49%). Monday's closes: Dollar Index -0.206 (-0.22%), EUR/USD +0.0029 (+0.26%), USD/JPY +0.06 (+0.06%).

May WTI crude oil (CLK16 +1.66%) is up +54 cents (+1.36%). May gasoline (RBK16 +1.62%) is up +0.0216 (+1.50%). Monday's closes: CLK6 -0.58(-1.44%), RBK6 -0.0247 (-1.69%). May crude and May gasoline on Monday fell to 1-week lows and closed lower on the lack of an agreement between OPEC and non-OPEC oil producers at Sunday's meeting in Doha after Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman said that Saudi Arabia would not restrain its production without commitments from other major oil producers including Iran. Crude oil was also pressured by expectations for Wednesday's weekly EIA data to show that U.S crude supplies rose +3.0 million bbl last week. Crude recovered from its worst levels as a strike by oil workers in Kuwait, OPEC's fourth-largest producer, extended into a second day and curbed Kuwait's crude output by nearly 60% to 1.7 million bpd.
