OVERNIGHT MARKETS AND NEWS

Jun E-mini S&Ps (ESM16 -0.33%) are down -0.33% and European stocks are down -0.89% as weakness in commodity prices drags down global equity markets. A sell-off in mining stocks and energy and raw-material producers are leading stocks lower after they rallied sharply earlier this week. The slide in world equity markets has fueled rallies in government bond markets as the German 10-year bund yield matched its record low of 0.033% set Wednesday and the UK 10-year gilt yield dropped to a record low of 1.24%. Asian stocks settled mostly lower: Japan -0.97%, Hong Kong, China and Taiwan closed for holiday, Australia -0.15%, Singapore -0.65%, South Korea +0.06%, India -0.95%. Japanese stocks were undercut by strength in the yen as USD/JPY fell to a 1-month low, which reduces the profitability of exporters. Japanese industrial stocks also fell after the -11.0% plunge in Japan Apr machine orders, the biggest monthly decline in 23 months.

The dollar index (DXY00 +0.32%) is up +0.25%. EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is down -0.47%. USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is down -0.44% at a 1-month low.

Sep T-note prices (ZNU16 +0.19%) are up +6.5 ticks at a contract high due to weakness in global stocks and carryover from rallies in European government bonds to record highs.

The German Apr trade balance shrank to a surplus of 25.6 billion euros, a larger surplus than expectations of 22.8 billion euros. Apr exports were unchanged m/m, stronger than expectations of -0.8% m/m. Apr imports unexpectedly fell -0.2% m/m, weaker than expectations of +1.3% m/m.

Japan Apr machine orders fell -11.0% m/m and -8.2% y/y, weaker than expectations of -3.0% m/m and -1.8% y/y with the -11.0% m/m fall the biggest monthly decline in 23 months.

The S&P 500 index on Wednesday climbed to a 10-1/2 month high and closed higher on the unexpected +118,000 increase in U.S. Apr JOLTS job openings to 5.788 million, more than expectations for a decline of -82,000 to 5.675 million and matching the July 2015 record high. Stocks were also boosted by strength in energy and raw-material producers as commodity prices rallied with crude oil at a 10-1/2 month high and gold and silver at 3-week highs.

September 10-year T-note prices (ZNU16 +0.19%) this morning are up +6.5 ticks at a contract high. Wednesday's closes: TYU6 +2.50, FVU6 +2.00. Sep T-notes on Wednesday fell back from a 1-month high and closed lower on the rally in the S&P 500 to a 10-1/2 month high and on the unexpected increase in Apr JOLTS job openings to a record high. T-notes gained support from a rally in German bunds as the 10-year bund yield fell to a record low of 0.033% and from economic growth concerns after the World Bank cut its global 2016 GDP forecast.

The dollar index (DXY00 +0.32%) this morning is up +0.238 (+0.25%). EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is down -0.0053 (-0.47%). USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is down-0.47 (-0.44%) at a 1-month low.

The dollar index on Wednesday fell to a 1-month low and closed lower on the World Bank's cut in its U.S. 2016 GDP forecast to 2.4% from 2.7% and on continued dollar bearishness after Fed Chair Yellen on Monday expressed concern about last Friday's payroll report and backed off her previous comment that a rate hike would be appropriate in "coming months."

July WTI crude oil (CLN16 -0.82%) this morning is down -40 cents (-0.78%). July gasoline (RBN16 -1.27%) is down -0.0201 (-1.24%). Wednesday's closes: CLN6 +0.87 (+1.73%), RBN6 +0.0327 (+2.06%). July crude oil and gasoline prices on Wednesday closed higher with July crude at a 10-1/2 month high. Crude oil prices were boosted by the slide in the dollar index to a 1-month low and by the -3.23 million bbl decline in EIA crude inventories, a bigger decline than expectations of -3.0 million bbl. Gasoline prices were undercut by the unexpected +1.01 million bbl increase in EIA gasoline stockpiles versus expectations for a -2.0 million bbl draw.

The S&P 500 on Tuesday slid to a 2-1/2 week low and closed lower on the -0.4% decline in U.S. Apr factory orders, weaker than expectations of -0.1%, and on a slide in utility companies caused by a rise in the 10-year T-note yield to a 1-1/2 week high.

MARKET COMMENTS

Jun E-mini S&Ps (ESM15 -0.33%) this morning are down -6.50 points (-0.31%). The S&P 500 index on Monday closed sharply higher: S&P 500 +1.35%, Dow Jones +1.29%, Nasdaq +1.29%. Bullish factors included (1) carry-over support from a rally in China’s Shanghai stock index to a 5-1/2 year high after Premier Li Keqiang was quoted by the state-run Xinhua news agency as saying that policymakers have “fairly ample room” and a “host of policy instruments” to boost economic growth if it slows more than expected, (2) strength in healthcare stocks on increased M&A activity after Valeant Pharmaceuticals purchased Salix Pharmaceuticals for $11.1 billion, and (3) reduced interest rate hike concerns after Monday’s weak U.S. economic data.
Jun 10-year T-notes (ZNM15 +0.34%) this morning are up +11.5 ticks. Jun 10-year T-note futures prices on Monday closed higher. Closes: TYM5 +3.50, FVM5 +2.50. Bullish factors included (1) weaker-than-expected U.S. economic data on Feb industrial production and Mar Empire manufacturing activity, which may nudge the Fed to delay interest rate increases, and (2) reduced inflation expectations after the 10-year T-note breakeven inflation rate fell to a 1-month low.
The dollar index (DXY00 -0.09%) this morning is down -0.193 (-0.19%). EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is up +0.0044 (+0.42%). USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is down -0.09 (-0.07%). The dollar index on Monday closed lower: Dollar index -0.726 (-0.72%), EUR/USD +0.0074 (+0.71%), USD/JPY -0.016 (-0.01%). Negative factors included (1) the unexpected declines in the Mar Empire manufacturing index and the Mar NAHB housing market index, which prompted long liquidation in the dollar and (2) the smaller-than-expected increase in U.S. Feb industrial production, which may prompt the Fed to delay an interest rate hike.
Apr WTI crude oil (CLJ15 -2.28%) this morning is down -75 cents (-1.71%) and Apr gasoline (RBJ15 -1.40%) is down -0.0172 (-1.00%). Apr crude oil and gasoline prices on Monday closed lower with Apr crude at a 6-year low and Apr gasoline at a 1-1/4 month low: CLJ5 -0.96 (-2.14), RBJ5 -0.0343 (-1.95%). Bearish factors included (1) negative carry-over from Friday’s IEA report saying that the record oil surplus in the U.S. may soon strain the nation’s storage capacity and further pressure oil prices, and (2) weaker-than-expected U.S. economic data on the Mar Empire manufacturing index and Feb industrial production, which signals reduced energy consumption and demand.

MARKET COMMENTS

Mar E-mini S&Ps (ESH15 -0.31%) this morning are down -6.75 points (-0.32%). The S&P 500 index on Tuesday slipped to a 1-week low and closed lower: S&P 500 -0.45%, Dow Jones -0.47%, Nasdaq -0.54%. Bearish factors included (1) weakness in automakers after Feb auto sales came in below expectations, (2) a sell-off in transportation stocks after railroad companies tumbled, and (3) weakness in healthcare stocks as biotechnology companies slumped after their recent run up.
Jun 10-year T-notes (ZNM15 +0.07%) this morning are down -0.50 of a tick. Jun 10-year T-note futures prices on Tuesday fell to a 1-week low and closed lower. Closes: TYM5 -10.00, FVM5 -6.00. The main bearish factor was an increase in corporate supply after Activis Plc launched a $21 billion debt sale, which prompted bond dealers to hedge their purchases by selling long-term Treasuries. Losses were limited after a slide in the S&P 500 to a 1-week low boosted the safe-haven demand for T-notes.
The dollar index (DXY00 +0.25%) this morning is up +0.285 (+0.30%) at a fresh 11-1/3 year high. EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is down -0.0045 (-0.40%) at a 5-week low. USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is down -0.13 (-0.11%). The dollar index on Tuesday posted a 11-1/3 year high but shed its advance and closed lower: Dollar index -0.079 (-0.08%), EUR/USD -0.00077 (-0.07%), USD/JPY -0.402 (-0.33%). Bearish factors included (1) a rally in USD/JPY after a slide in stocks boosted safe-haven demand for the yen, and (2) the +2.9% m/m increase in German Jan retail sales, the largest monthly increase in 7 years which was supportive for EUR/USD.
Apr WTI crude oil (CLJ15 +0.79%) this morning is up +25 cents (+0.49%) and Apr gasoline (RBJ15 -1.21%) is down -0.0188 (-0.96%). Apr crude and Apr gasoline prices on Tuesday closed higher: CLJ5 +0.93 (+1.88%), RBJ5 +0.0427 (+2.25%). Bullish factors included (1) a weaker dollar, and (2) expectations for Wednesday’s EIA data to show gasoline inventories fell -1.75 million bbl and distillate stockpiles declined -2.0 million bbl. Gains in crude were muted on expectations that Wednesday’s EIA data will show crude supplies rose +4.0 million bbl to the highest since EIA data began in 1982.
