OVERNIGHT MARKETS AND NEWS

December E-mini S&Ps (ESZ15 +0.64%) are up +0.48% and European stocks are up +2.92%, both at 1-1/2 week highs, after Friday's weaker-than-expected U.S. Sep non-farm payrolls pushed back expectations of a Fed interest rate increase into Q1 of next year. Basic resource companies and energy producing stocks are higher as crude oil and copper rose. European stocks also found support on speculation the ECB may expand its stimulus measures after the Eurozone Sep Markit composite PMI was revised lower and after Eurozone Oct Sentix investor confidence fell to a 9-month low. Asian stocks settled mostly higher: Japan +1.58%, Hong Kong +1.62%, China closed for holiday, Taiwan +0.57%, Australia +1.95%, Singapore +2.08%, South Korea +0.35%, India +2.15%. Emerging stocks and currencies rose along with Asian stock markets after Friday's smaller-than-expected increase in U.S. Sep payrolls boosted speculation the Fed will refrain from raising interest rates this year. Japan's Nikkei Stock Index rallied to a 2-week high and Chinese markets were closed and will remain closed until Thursday for holiday.
The dollar index (DXY00 +0.01%) is down -0.11%. EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is up +0.26%. USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is up +0.27%.
Dec T-note prices (ZNZ15 -0.06%)are down -3.5 ticks.
Speaking in an interview Saturday, Boston Fed President Rosengren said the U.S. economy needs to be growing at a 2.0% pace in the second half of the year to justify an interest rate increase by December. He added that the slower rate of job gains last month and weaker exports validated the FOMC's decision to not raise rates at its September meeting.
The Eurozone Oct Sentix investor confidence fell -1.9 to 11.7, a bigger decline than expectations of -1.8 to 11.8 and the lowest in 9 months.
The Eurozone Sep Markit composite PMI was revised lower to 53.6 from the originally reported 53.9.
Eurozone Aug retail sales were unch m/m, right on expectations, and up +2.3% y/y, stronger than expectations of +1.7% y/y.

U.S. STOCK PREVIEW

Key U.S. news today includes: (1) final-Sep Markit U.S. services PMI (expected unch at 55.6, prelim-Sep -0.5 to 55.6), and (2) Sep ISM non-manufacturing PMI (expected -1.5 to 57.5, Aug -1.3 to 59.0).
None of the Russell 2000 companies report earnings today.
U.S. IPO's scheduled to price today: none.
Equity conferences this week include: The China-Russia E-Commerce Summit on Mon, Oil & Money Conference on Tue, Barclays Select Series Biosimilars Symposium on Wed, Capital Link Shipping Marine Services and Offshore Forum on Wed, and Goldman Sachs EMEA Leveraged Finance Conference on Thu.

MARKET COMMENTS

Dec E-mini S&Ps (ESZ15 +0.64%) this morning are up +9.25 points (+0.48%). Friday's closes: S&P 500 +1.43%, Dow Jones +1.23%, Nasdaq +1.78%. The S&P 500 index on Friday recovered from early losses and closed higher on expectations for the Fed to delay an interest rate increase until at least Q1-2016 after Sep non-farm payrolls rose less than expected. Stocks initially opened lower on (1) the +142,000 increase in U.S. Sep non-farm payrolls, less than expectations of +200,000, and the downward revision in Aug non-farm payrolls to +136,000 from +173,000, and (2) the -1.7% decline in U.S. Aug factory orders, weaker than expectations of -1.2% and the biggest decline in 8 months.
Dec 10-year T-notes (ZNZ15 -0.06%) this morning are down -3.5 ticks. TYZ5 +19.00, FVZ5 +14.75. Dec T-notes on Friday rallied sharply to a 5-3/4 month nearest-futures high and closed higher on the smaller-than-expected increase in U.S. Sep non-farm payrolls, which pushed expectations for a Fed rate hike into next year. T-notes also received a boost from the smaller-than-expected increase in Sep hourly earnings and the larger-than-expected decline in U.S. Aug factory orders, which fell by the most in 8 months.
The dollar index (DXY00 +0.01%) this morning is down -0.102 (-0.11%). EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is up +0.0029 (+0.26%). USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is up +0.32 (+0.27%). Friday's closes: Dollar Index -0.355 (-0.37%), EUR/USD +0.0021 (+0.19%), USD/JPY -0.02 (-0.02%). The dollar index on Friday fell to a 1-1/2 week low and closed lower on the smaller-than-expected increase in U.S. Sep payrolls, which reduces the case for the Fed to raise interest rates this year. In addition, USD/JPY fell to a 4-week low on the early slide in stocks, which increased the safe-haven demand for the yen.
Nov crude oil (CLX15 +0.70%) this morning is up +44 cents (+0.97%) and Nov gasoline (RBX15 +1.33%) is up +0.0183 (+1.36%). Friday's closes: CLX5 +0.80 (+1.79%), RBX5 -0.0194 (-1.42%). Nov crude oil and gasoline prices on Friday settled mixed. Crude oil prices were initially undercut by the smaller-than-expected increase in U.S. Sep non-farm payrolls, which signals slower economic growth and energy demand. Gasoline saw weakness after the National Hurricane Center said that Hurricane Joaquin will remain offshore in the Atlantic and miss the U.S. East Coast entirely, which eliminated concerns about refinery disruptions. Nov crude rebounded from a 1-week low and closed higher on the recovery in stocks and the fall in the dollar index to a 1-1/2 week low.

September E-mini S&Ps (ESU15 +1.87%) are up +1,76% on increased M&A activity after Schlumberger Ltd. agreed to buy Cameron for $14.8 billion. Strength in technology stocks is another positive with Google up over 3% in pre-market trading after Goldman Sachs upgraded the stock to 'Conviction Buy.' European stocks are down -1.00% as they followed Chinese stocks lower after China's Shanghai Composite erased a gain of almost 4% to close down over 1%.

China's Shanghai Composite erased an early rally and closed down at an 8-1/4 month low despite Tuesday's action by the PBOC to cut interest rates. The Chinese government has halted intervention in the equity market this week which has prompted liquidation of stocks from margin traders. China's margin debt has plunged by 1 trillion yuan ($156 billion) to 1.25 trillion yuan on Monday from a record high 2.27 trillion yuan on Jun 18. Japan's Nikkei Stock Index recovered from a 6-1/4 month low and closed higher on bargain hunting and increased M&A activity after Nippon Life Insurance agreed to buy Mitsui Life Insurance for 400 billion yen ($2.5 billion).

MARKET COMMENTS

Sep E-mini S&Ps (ESU15 +1.87%) this morning are up +33.00 points (+1.76%). Tuesday's closes: S&P 500 -1.35%, Dow Jones -1.29%, Nasdaq -0.55%. The S&P 500 rallied sharply early Tuesday but erased the advance and closed lower. Stocks fell on concern that the slowdown in China may be worse than expected and that even Tuesday's Chinese rate cut will not be enough to spur growth. Stocks rallied early Tuesday on China's fifth rate cut in nine months and on the +10.5 point jump in the U.S. Aug consumer confidence (Conference Board) to 101.5, stronger than expectations of +3.5 to 93.4 and the highest in 7 months.

Sep 10-year T-notes (ZNU15 +0.18%) this morning are up +9 ticks. Tuesday's closes: TYU5 -1-4.5/32, FVU5 -17.25. Sep T-notes on Tuesday closed sharply lower on (1) reduced safe-haven demand for T-notes as global stock markets rallied sharply on the Chinese rate cut, and (2) the large-than-expected increase in U.S. Aug consumer confidence to a 7-month high.

The dollar index (DXY00 +0.07%) this morning is up +0.020 (+0.02%). EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is down -0.0094 (-0.82%). USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is up +0.75 (+0.63%). Tuesday's closes: Dollar Index +1.198 (+1.286%), EUR/USD -0.01019 (-1.02%), USD/JPY +0.432 (+0.36%). The dollar index on Tuesday closed higher on reduced safe-haven demand for the yen as USD/JPY and global stock markets rallied sharply after China cut interest rates. EURUSD saw weakness on speculation the ECB may expand stimulus measures after ECB Vice President Constancio said medium-term inflation risks in the Eurozone are "very low" and the ECB may respond to any material change to the outlook for price stability.

Oct crude oil (CLV15 +0.46%) this morning is up +13 cents (+0.33%) and Oct gasoline (RBV15 -1.93%) is down -0.0295 (-2.28%). Tuesday's closes: CLV5 +1.07 (+2.80%), RBV5 -0.0103 (-0.79%). Oct crude and gasoline on Tuesday settled mixed. Crude oil prices received a boost from the Chinese rate cut, which may help revive China's economic growth and energy demand, and from the larger-than-expected jump in U.S. Aug consumer confidence to a 7-month high. Negative factors included a stronger dollar, weakness in gasoline after BP restarted its 235,000 bpd refinery in Whiting, IN, and expectations that Wednesday's EIA crude inventories report will show an increase of +2.0 million bbl.

Sep E-mini S&Ps (ESU15 -0.23%) this morning are down -5.50 points. Tuesday's closes: S&P 500 -0.26%, Dow Jones -0.19%, Nasdaq -0.53%. The S&P 500 closed lower Tuesday on negative carry-over from the 6% plunge in China's Shanghai Composite Stock Index. Weakness in mining and basic-resource companies were a drag on the overall market as most commodity prices fell on Chinese demand concerns with copper at a new 6-year low. Another negative was the larger-than-expected decline in U.S. Jul building permits, a proxy for future building (-16.3% to 1.119 million vs. expectations of -8.0% to 1.225 million). Losses were limited after U.S. Jul housing starts rose +0.2% to a 7-3/4 year high of 1.206 million.
Sep 10-year T-notes (ZNU15 +0.05%) this morning are up +2.5 ticks. Tuesday's closes: TYU5 -10.00, FVU5 -3.00. Reduced global deflation concerns undercut government bond prices as Sep T-notes fell along with British gilts and German bunds after UK Jul core CPI rose a more than expected +1.2% y/y, the fastest pace of increase in 5 months. Also, strength in the U.S. housing market undercut T-note prices after U.S. Jul housing starts rose to a 7-3/4 year high.
The dollar index (DXY00 -0.10%) this morning is down -0.114 (-0.12%). EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is up +0.0016 (+0.15%). USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is down -0.05 (-0.04%). Tuesday's closes: Dollar Index +0.234 (+0.24%), EUR/USD -0.00552 (-0.50%), USD/JPY +0.022 (+0.02%). The dollar index closed higher Tuesday as the increase in U.S. Jul housing starts to a 7-3/4 year high may prompt the Fed to raise interest rates as soon as next month. The dollar also found support on weakness in the commodity currencies of Australia, Canada and New Zealand after copper slumped to a 6-year low on Chinese economic concerns.
Sep crude oil (CLU15 -0.59%) this morning is down -22 cents (-0.52%) and Sep gasoline (RBU15 -1.20%) is down -0.0216 (-1.31%) at a fresh 1-week low. Tuesday's closes: CLU5 +0.56 (+1.34%), RBU5 -0.0178 (-1.08%). Sep gasoline Tuesday fell to a 1-week low and Sep crude traded lower early in the session as the dollar strengthened and after Algeria's Energy Minister sad OPEC can do little to halt the decline in crude prices and needs oil producers outside of OPEC to help in reducing global supplies. Crude oil recovered its losses, however, and closed higher on expectations for Wednesday's weekly EIA crude inventories to fall -750,000 bbl, the fourth straight decline.

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.
