MARKET COMMENTS

Mar E-mini S&Ps (ESH15 -0.69%) this morning are down -12.75 points (-0.63%). The S&P 500 index on Thursday rebounded from a 1-1/2 week low and closed higher: S&P 500 -1.35%, Dow Jones -1.13%, Nasdaq -0.60%. Bullish factors included (1) the -43,000 decline in U.S. weekly initial unemployment claims to 265,000, more than expectations of -7,000 to 300,000 and the lowest level in 14-3/4 years, and (2) strength in energy producers which recovered from early losses after crude oil rebounded from a 5-3/4 year low and closed higher. A bearish factor was the unexpected -3.7% m/m decline in U.S. Dec pending home sales, weaker than expectations of a +0.5% m/m increase and the biggest decline in a year.
Mar 10-year T-notes (ZNH15 +0.23%) this morning are up +9.5 ticks. Mar 10-year T-note futures prices on Thursday closed lower. Closes: TYH5 -9.00, FVH5 -4.75. Bearish factors included (1) the larger-than-expected decline in U.S. weekly jobless claims to the lowest level in 14-3/4 years, and (2) reduced safe-haven demand for T-notes after stocks rallied.
The dollar index (DXY00 -0.26%) this morning is down -0.328 (-0.35%). EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is up +0.0026 (+0.23%). USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is down -0.62 (-0.52%). The dollar index on Thursday closed higher: Dollar index +0.315 (+0.33%), EUR/USD +0.00324 (-0.29%), USD/JPY -0.3458 (-0.29%). Bullish factors included (1) the larger-than-expected fall in U.S. weekly jobless claims to the lowest level in 14-3/4 years, which signals labor market strength and bolsters speculation the Fed will soon raise interest rates, and (2) the increase in Eurozone Jan economic confidence to a 6-month high, which was supportive for EUR/USD.
Mar WTI crude oil (CLH15 +0.97%) this morning is up +59 cents (+1.32%) and Mar gasoline (RBH15 +0.34%) is up +0.0042 (+0.30%). Mar crude oil and Mar gasoline on Thursday recovered from early losses and closed higher: CLH5 +0.08 (+0.18%), RBH5 +0.0143 (+1.04%). Mar crude posted a 5-3/4 year low on carry-over weakness from Wednesday’s EIA report where U.S. crude inventories climbed to a record high 406.7 million bbl and U.S. crude production rose to 9.213 million bpd, the highest in over 40 years. However, fund short covering near the lows helped crude oil erase its losses and close higher.

MARKET COMMENTS

Sep E-mini S&Ps (ESU14 +0.15%) this morning are up +0.25 of a point (+0.01%). The S&P 500 index on Monday erased early losses and closed higher on increased M&A activity after Dollar Tree agreed to buy rival Family Dollar Stores in a cash-and-stock deal valued at about $8.5 billion and after Zillow agreed to purchase Trulia for $3.5 billion: S&P 500 +0.08%, Dow Jones +0.03%, Nasdaq +0.13%. Negative factors that kept gains in check included (1) the -1.1% m/m decline in June pending home sales, weaker than expectations of a +0.5% m/m increase and the biggest monthly decline in 6 months, and (2) geopolitical concerns with the escalation of violence in the Middle East and Ukraine and with impending new Russian sanctions.
Sep 10-year T-notes (ZNU14 +0.07%) this morning are up +4 ticks. Sep 10-year T-note futures prices on Monday closed lower. Negative factors included (1) supply pressures as the Treasury auctions $108 billion of T-notes this week, and (2) expectations for the Fed to further reduce its monthly bond purchases by $10 billion when it convenes at this week’s 2-day FOMC meeting. Losses were limited as stocks fell after Jun pending home sales unexpectedly fell by the most in 6 months. Closes: TYU4 -6.0, FVU4 -4.00.
The dollar index (DXY00 +0.04%) this morning is up +0.026 (+0.03%). EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is down -0.0004 (-0.03%) and USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is up +0.12 (+0.12%) a a 3-week high. The dollar index on Monday closed little changed on signs of economic weakness after U.S. Jun pending home sales unexpectedly declined. EUR/USD was undercut by comments from ECB Vice President Constancio who said that inflation rates in the Eurozone “remained too low” in the second quarter. Closes: Dollar index unch, EUR/USD -0.0034 (-0.25%), USD/JPY +0.02 (+0.02%).
Sep WTI crude oil (CLU14 -0.26%) this morning is down -23 cents (-0.23%) and Sep gasoline (RBU14 +0.45%) is up +0.0125 (+0.44%). Sep crude and gasoline prices Monday closed lower with Sep crude at a 2-week low: CLU4 -0.42 (-0.41%), RBU4 -0.0129 (-0.45%). Bearish factors for crude oil and gasoline included (1) signs of economic weakness after U.S. Jun pending home sales unexpectedly declined by the most in 6 months, and (2) reduced geopolitical concerns as the flow of crude oil from the Middle East remains unaffected by the surge of violence in Libya and Iraq.

MARKET COMMENTS

Mar E-mini S&Ps (ESH14 -0.67%) this morning are down -15.00 points (-0.84%). The S&P 500 on Thursday closed higher due to strength in U.S. Q4 GDP and stronger-than-expected Q4 earnings results.

Mar 10-year T-notes (ZNH14 +0.24%) this morning are up +11 ticks at a 2-1/2 month high. Mar 10-year T-note futures prices on Thursday closed lower as strength in U.S. Q4 GDP boosted stocks and strengthened expectations for steady Fed QE3 tapering.

The dollar index on Thursday closed higher after strength in U.S. Q4 GDP boosted expectations that the Fed will continue to taper QE3. EUR/USD fell on speculation that deflation concerns may prompt the ECB into additional stimulus measures after the German Jan CPI report of -0.7% m/m and +1.2% y/y was weaker than expectations of -0.6% m/m and +1.3% y/y. Closes: Dollar index +0.580 (+0.72%), EUR/USD -0.01084 (-0.79%), USD/JPY +0.439 (+0.43%).
