MARKET COMMENTS

Sep S&P 500 E-mini stock futures (ESU17 +0.26%) this morning are up +5.00 points (+0.20%). Monday's closes: S&P 500 +1.00, Dow Jones +0.62%, Nasdaq +1.31%. The S&P 500 on Monday closed sharply higher on reduced market volatility after the VIX volatility index plunged when North Korean geopolitical risks subsided. Another supportive factor was signs of strength in the Japanese economy that benefits global growth after Japan Q2 GDP rose +4.0% (q/q annualized), stronger than expectations of +2.5% (q/q annualized) and the fastest pace of growth in over 2-years. A bearish factor was weakness in energy producers after crude oil prices fell -2.52%.

Sep 10-year T-note prices (ZNU17 -0.22%) this morning are down -9 ticks. Monday's closes: TYU7 -8.50, FVU7 -4.75. Sep 10-year T-notes on Monday closed lower on reduced safe-haven demand for T-notes as the stock market rallied sharply after North Korean tensions eased, and on signs of stronger global economic growth that may prompt the Fed to raise interest rates and the BOJ to taper QE after Japan Q2 GDP expanded at a +4.0% (q/q annualized) pace, the fastest pace of growth in over 2-years.

The dollar index (DXY00 +0.36%) this morning is up +0.318 (+0.34%). EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is down -0.0025 (-0.21%) and USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is up +0.78 (+0.71%). Monday's closes: Dollar Index +0.342 (+0.37%), EUR/USD -0.0041 (-0.35%), USD/JPY +0.44 (+0.40%). The dollar index on Monday closed higher due to weakness in EUR/USD after Eurozone Jun industrial production fell -0.6% m/m, the biggest decline in 6 months, and on the increase in 10-year T-note yields, which improves the dollar's interest rate differentials.

Sep crude oil (CLU17 -0.46%) this morning is down -18 cents (-0.38%) at a 3-week low. Sep gasoline (RBU17 -0.15%) is unch. Monday's closes: Sep WTI crude -1.23 (-2.52%), Sep gasoline -0.0363 (-2.25%). Sep crude oil and gasoline on Monday fell to 2-1/2 week lows and closed lower due to a stronger dollar, and slack Chinese crude demand after China Jul crude processing fell -4.4% to 10.76 million bpd, the smallest amount of crude processed in 10-months. Another bearish factor was negative carry-over from Friday's data from Baker Hughes that showed U.S. active oil rigs in the week ended Aug 11 rose +3 to 768, the most in 2-1/3 years.
