MARKET COMMENTS

Mar E-mini S&Ps (ESH16 -0.48%) this morning are down -12.25 points (-0.61%). Monday's closes: S&P 500 +0.33%, Dow Jones +0.37%, Nasdaq +0.07%. The S&P 500 on Monday closed higher on strength in energy producers as crude oil rallied to a 2-month high and on expectations for the ECB to expand stimulus measures when it meets on Thursday. U.S. stocks were undercut by Chinese economic concerns after China's National People's Congress outlined a growth range of 6.5-7.0% for 2016, less than last year's growth rate of 6.9% and the slowest expansion in 26 years.

Jun 10-year T-notes (ZNM16 +0.36%) this morning are up +15 ticks. Monday's closes: TYM6 -5.50, FVM6 -6.00. Jun T-notes on Monday fell to a 5-week low and closed lower on negative carryover from Friday's strong U.S. Feb payroll report of +242,000 and by supply pressures as the Treasury auctions $56 billion of T-notes and T-bonds this week.

The dollar index (DXY00 +0.03%) this morning is up +0.095 (+0.10%). EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is down -0.0005 (-0.05%). USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is down-0.38 (-0.33%). Monday's closes: Dollar Index -0.269 (-0.28%), EUR/USD +0.0009 (+0.08%), USD/JPY -0.28 (-0.25%). The dollar index on Monday closed lower on comments from Fed Governor Brainard suggesting she favors the Fed delay an interest rate increase when she said the Fed should show "patience" in adjusting monetary policy in the face of China's slowdown, tighter financial conditions and softer inflation expectations. The dollar was also undercut by strength in petrocurrencies as the Canadian dollar rose to a 3-1/2 month high and the ruble climbed to a 2-month high after crude oil rallied to a 2-month high.

Apr WTI crude (CLJ16 -0.24%) this morning is down -16 cents (-0.42%) and Apr gasoline (RBJ16 +0.72%) is up +0.0050 (+0.36%). Monday's closes: CLJ6 +1.98 (+5.51%), RBJ6 +0.0606 (+4.55%). Apr crude oil and gasoline on Monday closed higher with Apr crude at a 2-month high and Apr gasoline at a 3-1/4 month high. Crude oil prices were boosted by the outlook for U.S. crude production to decline after Friday's data from Baker Hughes showed U.S. active oil rigs fell by 8 to a 6-1/4 year low of 392 in the week ended Mar 4. In addition, Russian Energy Minister Novak said that Russia will meet with key members of OPEC to discuss freezing crude output sometime between Mar 20 and Apr 1.

OVERNIGHT MARKETS AND NEWS

September E-mini S&Ps (ESU15 unch) are down -0.04%, led by a decline in basic-resource companies and energy producers, as the price of copper (HGU15 -0.83%) dropped to a 6-year low on concerns over Chinese demand and crude oil (CLU15 -1.57%) tumbled to a 4-1/4 month low on concern the global supply glut will persist after Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh said Iran can raise oil output by 500,000 bpd within a week of the end of sanctions. European stocks are up +0.68% on signs of improving company earnings after Heineken NV and Commerzbank AG both reported better-than-expected earnings results. Another positive for European stocks was the upward revision to the Eurozone Jul Markit manufacturing PMI.

MARKET COMMENTS

Sep E-mini S&Ps (ESU15 unch) this morning are down -0.75 of a point (-0.04%). Friday's closes: S&P 500 -0.23%, Dow Jones -0.32%, Nasdaq -0.01%. The S&P 500 on Friday closed the day mildly lower on some pre-weekend long liquidation pressure and on the downward revision in the final-July U.S. consumer sentiment index to 93.1 from the preliminary-July level of 93.3, which was substantially weaker than market expectations of +0.7 to 94.0. Stocks received some underlying support from the rally in T-notes and the stronger-than-expected July Chicago PMI report of +5.3 to 54.7 vs expectations of +1.4 to 50.8.
Sep 10-year T-note prices (ZNU15 +0.06%) this morning are up +1 tick. Friday's closes: TYU5 +19, FVU5 +12. Sep 10-year T-notes on Friday rallied sharply on the much weaker-than-expected +0.2% increase in the Q2 ECI, which indicated weaker inflation pressure. T-notes also received a boost after the Treasury on Thursday concluded its $105 billion weekly T-note package.
The dollar index (DXY00 +0.17%) this morning is up +0.133 (+0.14%). EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is down -0.0024 (-0.22%). USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is up +0.33 (+0.27%). Friday's closes: Dollar Index -0.224 (-0.23%), EUR/USD -0.0006 (-0.05%), USD/JPY +0.11 (+0.09%). The dollar index on Friday closed mildly lower on the weak U.S. ECI report, which gives the Fed less reason to raise interest rates.
Sep crude oil (CLU15 -1.57%) this morning is down -71 cents (-1.57%) at a 4-1/4 month low and Sep gasoline (RBU15 -1.86%) is down -0.0336 (-1.90%). Friday's closes: CLU5 -1.40 (-2.89%), RBU5 +0.0030 (+0.17%). Sep crude oil and gasoline on Friday closed mixed. Crude oil prices continued to see downward pressure on expectations for a boost in Iranian oil late this year when sanctions are dropped since it does not appear that Republicans have enough Democratic support to gain a veto-proof way of stopping President Obama from dropping Iranian sanctions.
