Barchart Morning Call

OVERNIGHT MARKETS AND NEWS

Jun E-mini S&Ps (ESM17 +0.25%) this morning are up +0.25% at a 2-week high and European stocks are up +1.16% at a 1-1/4 year high on a less hawkish Fed and after pro-Europe parties won elections in the Netherlands. The FOMC did not signal a faster pace of tightening as they kept their projections for two more 25 bp rate hikes this year and Fed Chair Yellen said that the "simple message is the economy is doing well." Reduced European political risks gave European stocks an added boost after the pro-EU Liberal party beat the anti-EU Freedom Party in the Netherlands elections. Asian stocks settled higher: Japan +0.07%, Hong Kong +2.08%, China +0.84%, Taiwan +1.00%, Australia +0.20%, Singapore +0.83%, South Korea +0.80%, India +0.64%. China's Shanghai Composite rallied to a 3-1/2 month high after the PBOC followed the Fed's rate hike by raising rates on its open-market operations and on its medium-term lending facility and said that raising open-market rates don't necessarily equate to interest rate hikes. The PBOC's move to follow the Fed may be an attempt to limit capital outflows as the yuan jumped to a 1-week high against the dollar after the move. The BOJ as expected kept its benchmark rate unchanged at -0.1% and said that Japan's economy was on a "moderate recovery trend."

The dollar index (ZNM17 -0.16%) is down -0.12% at a 1-month low. EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is down -0.06%. USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is up +0.11%.

Jun 10-year T-note prices (ZNM17 -0.16%) are down -8 ticks.

The Bank of Japan (BOJ) kept its benchmark policy rate unchanged at -0.1% as expected, and said that Japan's economy was on a "moderate recovery trend." BOJ Governor Kuroda said the momentum for getting to its 2% price target is not strong enough and the BOJ will continue increasing the monetary base until that target is reached.

The People's Bank of China (PBOC) raised interest rates on its open market operations and hiked the 7, 14 and 28-day reverse-repurchase agreements by 10 bp and said that higher open market operations don't mean benchmark interest rates are increasing. The PBOC added that market participants already had relatively strong expectations on higher open market operation rates based on China's economy rebound and Fed rate hikes.

MARKET COMMENTS

Jun E-mini S&Ps (ESM17 +0.24%) this morning are up +3.75 points (+0.16%). Tuesday's closes: S&P 500 -0.34%, Dow Jones -0.21%, Nasdaq -0.23%. The S&P 500 on Tuesday closed lower on the U.S. Feb PPI final demand report of +0.3% m/m and +2.2% y/y (stronger than expectations of +0.2% m/m and +1.9% y/y with the +2.2% y/y gain the largest year-on-year increase in 4-3/4 years) and the -1.40% slump in crude oil prices to a 3-1/2 month low, which undercut energy producing stocks.

Jun 10-year T-notes (ZNM17 +0.09%) this morning are up +2.5 ticks. Tuesday's closes: TYM7 +2.50, FVM7 +1.00. Jun 10-year T-notes recovered from a 2-1/2 month low Tuesday and closed higher on the slump in crude oil prices to a 3-1/2 month low, which reduces inflation expectations, and on the slide in stocks that boosted the safe-haven demand for T-notes. Gains were limited after U.S. Feb PPI final demand rose more than expected, which may prompt the Fed to speed up the pace of its rate hikes.

The dollar index (DXY00 -0.12%) this morning is down -0.13 (-0.13%). EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is up +0.0021 (+0.20%). USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is down -0.10 (-0.09%). Tuesday's closes: Dollar index +0.44 (+0.43%), EUR/USD -0.0049 (-0.46%), USD/JPY -0.13 (-0.11%). The dollar index on Tuesday closed higher on the +2.2% y/y gain in U.S. Feb PPI final demand report, the largest year-on-year increase in 4-3/4 years, which bolsters the case for the Fed to continue raising interest rates. There was also weakness in GBP/USD which fell to a 1-3/4 month low on Brexit concerns after the UK Parliament voted to give Prime Minister May the go-ahead to invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty that takes the UK out of the European Union.

Apr WTI crude oil prices (CLJ17 +2.14%) this morning are up +96 cents (+2.01%) and Apr gasoline (RBJ17 +1.47%) is +0.0209 (+1.32%). Tuesday's closes: Apr crude -0.68 (-1.40%), Apr gasoline +0.0028 (+0.18%). Apr crude oil and gasoline on Tuesday settled mixed with Apr crude at a 3-1/2 month low.
