OVERNIGHT MARKETS AND NEWS

September E-mini S&Ps (ESU15 -0.20%) are down -0.20% and European stocks are down -0.47% after Greek Prime Minister Tsipras said that creditors didn't accept his government's proposals for more aid. According to a person familiar with the matter, a new set of measures were sent to the Greek government today ahead of a meeting between Greek Prime Minister Tsipras and the three creditor institutions; the ECB, the IMF and the European Commission. Another negative for European stocks was the decline in German business confidence after the Jun IFO business climate fell more than expected to a 4-month low. Asian stocks closed mostly higher: Japan +0.28%, Hong Kong +0.26%, China +2.48%, Taiwan +0.07%, Australia +0.04%, Singapore +0.35%, South Korea +0.17%, India -0.27%. Japan's Nikkei Stock Index rallied to a fresh 15 year high after the minutes of the May BOJ policy meeting showed many policy makers want to continue monetary stimulus until Japan's inflation rate stabilizes at 2%. A rally in shipping stocks also aided gains in Asian stocks after the Baltic Dry Index, a gauge of commodity shipping rates, rose 1.4% to its highest close this year.
Commodity prices are mostly higher due to a weaker dollar. Aug crude oil (CLQ15 -0.05%) is up +0.20%, Aug gasoline (RBQ15 +0.77%) is up +0.59%. Metals prices are stronger. Aug gold (GCQ15 unch) is up +0.08%. Jul copper (HGN15 +0.46%) is up +0.06%. Agricultural prices are weaker.
The dollar index (DXY00 -0.32%) is down -0.24%. EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is up +0.29%. USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is down -0.02%.

Sep T-note prices (ZNU15 +0.10%) are up +2.5 ticks.
Greece's creditors handed Greece an overhauled set of measures the country must meet in order to receive bailout funds ahead of a meeting today in Brussels between Greek Prime Minister Tsipras and the heads of the three creditor institutions; ECB President Draghi, IMF Managing Director Lagarde and European Commission President Juncker. Eurozone finance ministers will then meet later today in an effort to reach a deal on more aid for Greece before its current bailout expires and 1.5 billion euros in debt payments come due to the IMF on Jun 30.
The German Jun IFO business climate fell -1.1 to 107.4, weaker than expectations of -0.4 to 108.1 and the lowest in 4 months.

Russia's Micex Stock Index fell and the ruble weakened after the IMF cut its Russian 2014 GDP estimate to +0.2% from an earlier forecast of +1.3%, citing the risk of escalating sanctions. Asian stocks closed mixed: Japan +0.11%, Hong Kong -1.42%, China +0.01%, Taiwan -0.81%, Australia +0.05%, Singapore +0.83%, South Korea -0.18%, India -0.22%.

Commodity prices are mostly lower. Jun crude oil (CLM14 -1.14%) is down -0.84% at a 3-week low on expectations for U.S. crude supplies to climb +2.2 million bbl when the EIA reports weekly inventory data later today.

The dollar index (DXY00 -0.16%) is down -0.09%. EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is up +0.12% as it recovered from a 3-week low on speculation that the +0.7% y/y increase in the Eurozone Apr CPI estimate is not low enough to warrant additional ECB easing. USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is down -0.06%. June T-note prices (ZNM14 -0.06%) are down -3.5 ticks.
The Eurozone Apr CPI estimate rose at a +0.7% y/y pace, less than expectations of +0.8% y/y, but higher than the +0.5% y/y increase from Mar. Apr core CPI rose at a +1.0% y/y pace, right on expectations.

U.S. STOCK PREVIEW

Today’s April ADP employment report is expected to show a solid increase of +210,000, improving from +191,000 in March. The ADP report dipped to +121,000 in January but then recovered to +178,000 in Feb and +191,000 in March. Today’s Q1 GDP is expected to dip to +1.2% (q/q annualized) from +2.6% in Q1 due to the disruptions seen over the winter from the bad weather. Meanwhile, Q1 personal consumption is expected to fall to +2.0% from +3.3% in Q4 as consumer spending was dampened by the bad winter weather. Today’s April Chicago PMI report is expected to show a +1.1 point increase to 57.0, recovering some of the -3.9 point decline to 55.9 seen in March. The market is unanimously expecting the FOMC today to cut QE3 by another $10 billion to $45 billion and leave its funds rate target range unchanged at zero to 0.25%.

MARKET COMMENTS

June E-mini S&Ps (ESM14 -0.08%) this morning are down -2.00 points (-0.11%). The S&P 500 index on Tuesday closed higher. Bullish factors included (1) strong Q1 company earnings results as 74% of the 274 S&P 500 companies that have posted Q1 earnings results thus far have beaten estimates, and (2) carry-over support from a rally in European stocks after Moody's Investors Service raised its outlook on the Greek banking system to stable from negative and after Eurozone Apr consumer confidence was revised higher by +0.1 to a 6-1/2 year high of -8.6. Limiting gains in stocks was the unexpected -1.6 point decline in U.S. Apr consumer confidence (Conference Board) to 82.3, weaker than expectations of a +1.0 point increase to 83.3. Closes: S&P 500 +0.48%, Dow Jones +0.53%, Nasdaq +0.82%.
Jun 10-year T-notes (ZNM14 -0.06%) this morning are down -3.5 ticks ahead of the outcome of today's FOMC meeting. Jun 10-year T-note futures prices on Tuesday closed lower. Bearish factors included (1) reduced safe-haven demand for T-notes as stocks rallied, and (2) expectations for the Fed to taper QE3 by $10 billion on Wed. T-note prices recovered from their worst levels after U.S. Apr consumer confidence unexpectedly declined. Closes: TYM4 -3.0, FVM4 -2.50.
The dollar index (DXY00 -0.16%) this morning is down -0.068 (-0.09%). EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is up +0.0017 (+0.12%). USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is down -0.06 (-0.06%). The dollar index on Tuesday closed higher: Dollar index +0.125 (+0.16%), EUR/USD -0.0030 (-0.28%), USD/JPY +0.149 (+0.15%). Bullish factors for the dollar included (1) weakness in EUR/USD after German Apr CPI rose less than expected, which increases deflation concerns in the Eurozone and fueled speculation the ECB may boost stimulus measures when it convenes next week, and (2) the rally in USD/JPY to a 3-week high after a rally in stocks reduced the safe-haven demand for the yen.
Jun WTI crude oil (CLM14 -1.14%) this morning is down -85 cents (-0.84%) at a 3-week low. Jun gasoline (RBM14 -0.58%) is down -0.0151 (=0.50%). Jun crude and gasoline prices on Tuesday closed higher.
