MARKET COMMENTS

Mar E-mini S&Ps (ESH16 +0.70%) this morning are up +13.75 points (+0.73%) at a fresh 1-week high. Tuesday's closes: S&P 500 +1.65%, Dow Jones +1.39%, Nasdaq +2.12%. The S&P 500 on Tuesday posted a 1-week high and closed higher on carryover support from a +3.29% jump in the Shanghai Composite to a 3-week high after China Jan new yuan loans surged by a record 2.51 trillion yuan. Stocks were also boosted by reduced interest rate concerns after Philadelphia Fed President Harker said it may be "prudent" to wait for inflation to strengthen before the Fed raises interest rates again. Stocks were undercut by news that the Feb NAHB housing market index unexpectedly fell -3 to a 9-month low of 58, 2 points weaker than expectations for a report of 60.

Mar 10-year T-notes (ZNH16 -0.14%) this morning are down -4.5 ticks. Tuesday's closes: TYH6 -5.00, FVH6 -2.25. Mar T-notes on Tuesday fell to a 1-week low and closed lower on the rally in stocks that curbed the safe-haven demand for T-notes. However, T-notes received a boost from Philadelphia Fed President Harker's comment that "it might prove prudent to wait until the inflation data are stronger before we undertake a second rate hike."

The dollar index (DXY00 -0.02%) this morning is down -0.024 (-0.02%). EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is up +0.0004 (+0.04%). USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is down-0.05 (-0.04%). Tuesday's closes: Dollar Index +0.928 (+0.97%), EUR/USD -0.0012 (-0.11%), USD/JPY -0.53 (-0.46%). The dollar index on Tuesday climbed to a 1-week high and settled higher on weakness in GBP/USD which fell to a 2-week low after UK Jan core CPI rose +1.2% y/y, weaker than expectations of +1.3% y/y, which dampened the prospects of a BOE interest rate increase. The dollar index was also boosted by weakness in EUR/USD after the German Feb ZEW survey expectations of economic growth fell -9.2 to a 16-month low of 1.0.

Mar WTI crude (CLH16 +1.76%) this morning is up +72 cents (+2.48%) and Mar gasoline (RBH16 -0.13%) is down -0.0009 ((-0.09%). Tuesday's closes: CLH6 -0.40 (-1.36%), RBH6 -0.0682 (-6.54%). Mar crude and gasoline on Tuesday closed lower as Mar crude fell back from a 1-week high and Mar gasoline retreated from a 2-week high. Crude oil prices were undercut by the rally in the dollar index to a 1-week high and by concern that an agreement by Saudi Arabia and Russia to freeze crude output at current levels won't be enough to alleviate the global crude supply glut. Crude prices initially opened higher on the agreement between Saudi Arabia and Russia, the world's two largest oil producers, to freeze their crude production at current levels if other major oil producers would also freeze production.

MARKET COMMENTS

Dec E-mini S&Ps (ESZ15 +0.10%) this morning are up +1.00 point (+0.05%). Monday's closes: S&P 500 -0.41%, Dow Jones -0.38%, Nasdaq -0.33%. The S&P 500 Monday closed lower on negative carry-over from a slide in Chinese stocks on concern the slowdown in China is deepening after China Aug industrial production rose +6.1% y/y, weaker than expectations of +6.5% y/y, and after China Aug fixed asset investment rose at the slowest pace in 14-1/2 years. Also, weakness in energy and raw-material stocks pressured the overall market after copper and crude oil declined.

Dec 10-year T-notes (ZNZ15 +0.06%) this morning are up +3 ticks. Monday's closes: TYZ5 +0.50, FVZ5 +0.25. Dec T-notes Monday closed higher on carryover support from a rally in German bunds which rose to a 2-1/2 week high and on weakness in stocks which boosted the safe-haven demand for Treasuries. T-notes also garnered support on speculation the Fed will refrain from raising interest rates at this Wednesday and Thursday’s FOMC meeting.

The dollar index (DXY00 -0.05%) this morning is up +0.017 (+0.02%). EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is down -0.0015 (-0.13%). USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is down-0.53 (-0.44%). Monday's closes: Dollar Index +0.052 (+0.05%), EUR/USD -0.0021 (-0.19%), USD/JPY -0.36 (-0.30%). The dollar index Monday rebounded from a 2-week low and closed higher on short-covering ahead of the 2-day FOMC meeting this Wednesday and Thursday, and on speculation that the BOJ and ECB may expand their stimulus measures as the Fed raises interest rates, which is positive for dollar interest rate differentials.

Oct crude oil (CLV15 +1.00%) this morning is up +40 cents (+0.91%) and Oct gasoline (RBV15 +0.87%) is up +0.0119 (+0.91%). Monday's closes: CLV5-0.51 (-1.14%), RBV5 -0.0634 (-4.63%). Oct crude oil and gasoline closed lower Monday with Oct gasoline at a 7-1/2 month nearest-futures low on Chinese economic concerns after China Aug industrial production rose less than expected, which signals reduced energy demand and consumption. Crude prices were also pressured from a rebound in the dollar after the dollar index recovered from a 2-week low and closed higher.
