MARKET COMMENTS
Mar E-mini S&Ps (ESH17 +0.32%) this morning are up +6.00 points (+0.26%) at a new all-time nearest-futures high. Tuesday's closes: S&P 500 +0.66%, Dow Jones +0.57%, Nasdaq +0.70%. The S&P 500 on Tuesday rallied to a fresh record high and closed higher on the +0.8 point increase in the U.S. Jan Markit manufacturing PMI o 55.1, stronger than expectations of +0.2 to 54.5 and the fastest pace of expansion in 1-3/4 years. In addition, mining stocks rallied after copper prices rose to a 1-week high and energy producers rallied as the price of crude oil rose +0.36%. Stocks were undercut by the -2.8% decline in U.S. Dec existing home sales to 5.49 million, weaker than expectations of -1.6% to 5.52 million.
Mar 10-year T-notes (ZNH17 +0.01%) this morning are down -1.5 ticks. Tuesday's closes: TYH7 -19.00, FVH7 -11.00. Mar 10-year T-notes on Tuesday closed lower on signs of strength in U.S. manufacturing that bolstered the case for additional Fed rate hikes after the Jan Markit manufacturing PMI rose +0.8 to a 1-3/4 year high of 55.1. T-notes were also undercut by reduced safe-haven with the rally in stocks and supply pressures as the Treasury auctions $103 billion of T-notes this week.
The dollar index (DXY00 -0.42%) this morning is down -0.32 (-0.32%). EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is up +0.0019 (+0.18%). USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is down -0.31 (-0.27%). Tuesday's closes: Dollar index +0.19 (+0.19%), EUR/USD -0.0034 (-0.32%), USD/JPY +1.08 (+0.96%). The dollar index on Tuesday closed higher on the stronger than expected U.S. Jan Markit manufacturing PMI report and the increase in T-note yields, which improved the dollar's interest rate differentials.
Mar WTI crude oil prices (CLH17 -0.92%) this morning are down -51 cents (-0.96%) and Mar gasoline (RBH17 -1.55%) is -0.0274 (-1.71%). Tuesday's closes: Mar crude +0.19 (+0.36%), Mar gasoline -0.0087 (-0.55%). Mar crude oil and gasoline on Tuesday settled mixed. Oil prices were boosted by signs that OPEC members are adhering to their production cut agreements after Iraq, OPEC's second-biggest producer, said it has already reduced crude output by 180,000 bpd and will cut its output by another 30,000 bpd by the end of the month. Crude oil prices were undercut by a stronger dollar and by expectations that Wednesday's EIA crude inventories will climb by 2.5 million bbl.

Barchart.com - 2 hours ago
OVERNIGHT MARKETS AND NEWS
Dec E-mini S&Ps (ESZ16 +0.03%) are little changed, up +0.05%, as a -0.85% decline in Jan WTI crude oil (CLF17 -1.08%) weighs on energy producing stocks. Crude oil is under pressure on concern over whether OPEC will be able to adhere to its recently announced production cuts. European stocks are up +0.70% on signs of economic strength after German Oct factory orders rose more than expected by the most in 2-1/4 years. European stocks also garnered support and EUR/USD fell on expectations that ECB President Draghi will extend the central banks QE program beyond March of next year at this Thursday's policy meeting.

MARKET COMMENTS
Dec E-mini S&Ps (ESZ16 +0.03%) this morning are up +1.00 point (+0.05%). Monday's closes: S&P 500 +0.58%, Dow Jones +0.24%, Nasdaq +0.82%. The S&P 500 on Monday closed higher on carry-over support from a rally in European stocks to a 3-week high on reduced concern about contagion of political risks from Italy to Europe. U.S. stocks were also boosted by signs of U.S. economic strength after the Nov ISM non-manufacturing index rose +2.4 to 57.2, stronger than expectations of +0.7 to 55.5 and the fastest pace of expansion in 13 months. Energy producer stocks received a boost as the price of crude oil rose to a 16-1/2 month high.
Mar 10-year T-notes (ZNH17 unch) this morning are down -1 tick. Monday's closes: TYH7 unch, FVH7 -3.00. Mar 10-year T-note futures on Monday closed little changed. T-note prices were undercut by reduced safe-haven demand after the failure of the Italian constitutional reform referendum didn't cause much consternation and after U.S. stocks rallied. T-note prices were also undercut by the larger-than-expected increase in the Nov ISM non-manufacturing index to its fastest pace of expansion in 13 months (+2.4 to 57.2). T-notes found some support after St. Louis Fed President Bullard said a single 25 bp increase in the fed funds rate "will get us very close" to the interest rate path recommended by the St. Louis Fed through 2019.
The dollar index (DXY00 +0.19%) this morning is up +0.190 (+0.19%). EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is down -0.0026 (-0.24%). USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is up +0.12 (+0.11%). Monday's closes: Dollar index -0.680 (-0.67%), EUR/USD +0.0100 (+0.94%), USD/JPY +0.34 (+0.30%). The dollar index on Monday closed lower on reduced safe-haven demand for the dollar after stocks recovered losses and moved higher as a 'No' vote for Italy's constitutional reforms was already factored into the market. EUR/USD rebounded from a 1-1/2 year low and rallied to a 2-week high on signs of economic strength in the Eurozone that may keep the ECB from expanding stimulus after Eurozone Oct retail sales rose +1.1% m/m, the biggest monthly increase in 2 years.
Jan WTI crude oil prices (CLF17 -1.08%) this morning are down -44 cents (-0.85%) and Jan gasoline (RBF17 -0.25%) is +0.0008 (+0.05%) . Monday's closes: Jan crude +0.11 (+0.20%), Jan gasoline -0.0101 (-0.65%). Jan crude oil and gasoline on Monday settled mixed with Jan crude at a 16-1/2 month high. Crude oil prices were boosted by the slide in the dollar index to a 2-week low and by continued support from last Wednesday's OPEC production cut agreement. Crude oil prices were undercut by news of a +200,000 bpd increase in OPEC Nov crude production to a record 34.160 million bpd.
