MARKET COMMENTS

Jun 10-year T-notes this morning are slightly higher by 1 tick awaiting today's consumer confidence report and Yellen speech. Monday's closes: TYM6 +6.00, FVM6 +3.50. Jun T-notes on Monday closed higher on the +1.7% y/y increase in the U.S. Feb core PCE deflator (weaker than expectations of +1.8% y/y) and reduced inflation expectations after the 10-year T-note breakeven inflation rate fell to a 1-week low.

The dollar index this morning is little changed. EUR/USD is slightly higher by +0.04% and USD/JPY is up +0.18%. The forex market is treading water ahead of today's Yellen comments. Monday's closes: Dollar Index -0.312 (-0.32%), EUR/USD +0.0029 (+0.26%), USD/JPY +0.37 (+0.33%). The dollar index on Monday closed lower on the smaller-than-expected +1.7% y/y increase in the Feb core PCE deflator (weaker than expectations of +1.8% y/y), which gives the Fed less reason for an imminent rate hike, and San Francisco Fed President Williams' comment that the global economy has a "huge impact" on the Fed's inflation and employment goals.

May WTI crude is down -0.61 at $38.78 (-1.55%) and May gasoline is down -0.0236 (-1.58%). Monday's closes: CLK6 -0.07 (-0.18%), RBK6 +0.0010 (+0.07%). May crude and gasoline on Monday settled mixed. Crude oil prices were undercut by concern that OPEC and non-OPEC oil producers will not be able to curb crude output when they meet on Apr 17 to discuss a production freeze since Iran and Libya are not even attending the meeting. Crude oil prices were underpinned by a weaker dollar and the outlook for U.S. crude production to decline after Baker Hughes reported last Friday that active U.S. oil rigs fell -15 to a 6-1/3 year low of 372 rigs.

OVERNIGHT MARKETS AND NEWS

Jun E-mini S&Ps (ESM16 +0.23%) are up +0.28% after last Friday's data showed the U.S. economy expanded more than expected in Q1. European markets are closed for Easter Monday. Also, May crude is up +0.51%, which is giving a boost to energy producing stocks. San Francisco Fed President Williams said that global developments were "the real issue" for policy makers as they decide on the pace of rate hikes. Asian stocks settled mixed: Japan +0.77%, Hong Kong and Australia closed for holiday, China -0.73%, Taiwan -0.17%, Singapore -0.60%, South Korea +0.07%, India -1.46%. China's Shanghai Composite fell to a 1-week low after the China Q1 Beige Book stated that the Chinese economy was still "emanating weakness." Japan's Nikkei Stock index rallied to a 1-week high after the Sankei newspaper reported that Prime Minister Abe plans to delay the scheduled April 2017 consumption-tax increase to 10% from 8%.

The dollar index (DXY00 +0.01%) is up +0.01% at a 1-week high. EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is down -0.04%. USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is up +0.42% at a 1-week high.

Jun T-note prices (ZNM16 -0.15%) are down -6 ticks.

San Francisco Fed President Williams said the U.S. economy is doing "quite well" and "the real issue is the global financial and economic developments" for policy makers as they deliberate on the pace of interest rate increases.

U.S. Q4 GDP was revised upward to 1.4% (q/q annualized) from 1.0% (q/q annualized), stronger than expectations of no change at 1.0%. Q4 personal consumption was revised upward to 2.4% from the previously reported 2.0%.

ECB Governing Council member Knot said that further expansion of the ECB asset purchase program will lead to increased tensions over the prohibition of monetary financing as quantitative easing leads to "higher risks of undesirable side effects like bubbles, an unhealthy search for yield, a rolling over of problematic loans, increasing wealth inequality, and an addiction to low interest rates."

The Q1 China Beige Book, published by CBB International, stated that China's economy is still "emanating weakness" as "the data show that firms first stopped borrowing, then cut spending, and our now becoming allergic to hiring." Also, revenue growth steadied, capital expenditure fell, job growth slid to a 4-year low and retail outperformed business spending.

U.S. STOCK PREVIEW

Key U.S. news today includes: (1) Feb personal spending (expected +0.1%, Jan +0.5%) and Feb personal income (expected +0.1%, Jan +0.5%), (2) Feb PCE deflator (expected -0.1% m/m and +1.0% y/y, Jan +0.1% m/m and +1.3% y/y) and Feb core PCE deflator (expected +0.2% m/m and +1.8% y/y, Jan +0.3% m/m and +1.7% y/y), (3) Feb pending home sales (expected +1.1% m/m, Jan -2.5% m/m and -0.9% y/y), (4) Mar Dallas Fed manufacturing activity (expected +5.8 to -26.0, Feb +2.8 to -31.8), (5) the Treasury's auction of $26 billion of 2-year T-notes, (6) USDA weekly grain export inspections.

Stocks were undercut by the unexpected -1.1% decline in U.S. Feb capital goods orders non-defense ex-aircraft, weaker than expectations of +0.3%, which is negative for capital investment and undercuts Q1 GDP. In addition, mining stocks were weak after gold fell to a 1-month low and copper slid to a 2-week low. Stocks found some support from the U.S. weekly initial unemployment claims report of 265,000, slightly below expectations of 269,000, and a rally in energy producers after crude oil recovered nearly all of an early decline.

Jun 10-year T-notes (ZNM16 -0.15%) this morning are down -6 ticks. Thursday's closes: TYM6 -3.50, FVM6 -3.25. Jun T-notes on Thursday closed lower on lower-than-expected U.S. weekly jobless claims of 265,000 (vs expectations of 269,000) and on hawkish comments from St. Louis Fed President Bullard who said the next Fed rate increase "may not be far off." T-notes found support on reduced inflation expectations after the 10-year T-note break-even inflation expectations rate fell to a 1-week low.

The dollar index (DXY00 +0.01%) this morning is up +0.007 (+0.01%) at a 1-week high. EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is down -0.0005 (-0.04%). USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is up +0.47 (+0.42%) at a 1-week high.

The dollar index on Thursday climbed to a 1-week high and settled higher on St. Louis Fed President Bullard's hawkish comment suggesting that the Fed may be getting close to raising interest rates another notch.

May WTI crude (CLK16 +0.38%) this morning is up +20 cents (+0.51%) and May gasoline (RBK16 +0.50%) is up +0.0040 (+0.27%). Thursday's closes: CLK6 -0.33 (-0.83%), RBK6 +0.0142 (+0.96%). May crude and gasoline on Thursday settled mixed with May crude at a 1-week low. Crude oil prices were undercut by the rally in the dollar index to a 1-week high and by negative carryover from Wednesday’s EIA data showing a larger-than-expected +9.357 million bbl surge in weekly EIA crude inventories to a record high 532.5 million bbl. Gasoline received a boost from the prospects for strong refinery demand for gasoline as the crack spread climbed to a 1-week high.
