MARKET COMMENTS

Sep E-mini S&Ps (ESU13 +0.25%) this morning are uo +3,75 points (+0.22%). The S&P 500 index on Monday closed lower on concern a slowdown in China’s economy will drag down global growth as well. China Jun industrial profit growth fell to +6.3% y/y from May’s +15.5% y/y while China’s State Council ordered a review of state borrowings amid concern potential bad debts may weigh on the economy. A supportive factor was the the smaller-than-expected drop in U.S. Jun pending home sales (-0.4% m/m vs. expectations of -1.0% m/m). Closes: S&P 500 -0.37%, Dow Jones -0.24%, Nasdaq 100 -0.24%.
Sep 10-year T-notes (ZNU13 -0.05%) this morning are down -3 ticks. Sep 10-year T-note prices on Monday closed lower on the stronger-than-expected U.S. Jun pending home sales and on some concern that Wednesday’s post-meeting statement could be a bit more hawkish. T-notes received support from increased safe-haven demand with the sell-off in stocks. Closes: TYU3 -5.-, FVU3 -2.5.
The dollar index (DXY00 +0.05%) this morning is up +0.072 (+0.09%). EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is up +0.0010 (+0.08%) and USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is down -0.03 (-0.03%). The dollar index on Monday recovered from a 5-week low and closed higher after stocks fell, which boosted the safe-haven demand for the dollar. Another positive for the dollar was the stronger-than-expected U.S. Jun pending home sales. Closes: Dollar index +0.013 (+0.02%), EUR/USD +0.0002 (+0.02%), USD/JPY -1.08 (-1.09%).
Sep WTI crude oil (CLU13 -0.63%) this morning is down -59 cents (-0.56%) and Sep gasoline (RBU13 -0.02%) is up +0.0017 (+0.06%). Sep crude oil and gasoline prices on Monday settled lower. Bearish factors included (1) the National Weather Service’s downgrade for Tropical Storm Dorian to a tropical wave, which reduces the chance that it might strengthen and threaten the Gulf of Mexico, and (2) Chinese economic concerns after China’s State Council ordered a review of state borrowings amid concern potential bad debts may weigh on the economy. Supportive factors included (1) concern the civil unrest in Egypt may escalate and threaten global shipments of crude through the Suez Canal, and (2) the early slide in the dollar index to a 5-week low. Closes: CLU3 -0.15 (-0.14%), RBU3 -0.0211 (-0.70%).

MARKET COMMENTS

June E-mini S&Ps (ESM13 -0.13%) this morning are down -2.00 points (-0.13%). The S&P 500 index on Monday pushed up to a 2-week high and closed higher. Bullish factors included (1) carry-over strength from gains in European equities that rallied on reduced sovereign debt concerns after Spanish and Italian 10-year borrowing costs fell to 2-1/2 year lows, (2) the stronger-than-expected +0.2% increase in U.S. Mar personal spending, better than expectations of unchanged, and (3) strength in Mar pending home sales which rose +1.5% m/m, better than expectations of +1.0%. Another bullish factor for stocks is strong Q1 earnings growth as 74% of the 273 of the S&P 500 companies that have reported earnings results have beaten estimates. Closes: S&P 500 +0.72%, Dow Jones +0.72%, Nasdaq 100 +0.93%.
June 10-year T-notes (ZNM13 +0.12%) this morning are up +5 ticks and posted a new contract high in overnight trade. June 10-year T-note futures prices on Monday closed slightly higher on signs the economy may slow along with reduced inflation concerns. U.S. Mar personal income rose +0.2%, less than expectations of +0.4%, while the Mar core PCE deflator rose +1.1% y/y, weaker than expectations of +1.2% y/y and the slowest pace of increase in 2 years. T-note prices fell back from their best levels on the larger-than-expected increase in Mar personal spending and the rally in the stock market. Closes: TYM3 +0.5, FVM3 +1.0.
The dollar index (DXY00 +0.02%) this morning is up +0.048 (+0.06%). EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is down -0.0026 (-0.20%) and USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is down -0.20 (-0.20%). The dollar index on Monday fell to a 1-1/2 week low and closed lower on speculation the Fed at this week's 2-day FOMC meeting will maintain its dollar-negative QE3 program. EUR/USD received a boost after Italian and Spanish 10-year borrowing costs fell to 2-1/2 year lows and reduced sovereign debt concerns, while USD/JPY fell to a 1-week low after the yen weakened when stock market strength reduced the safe-haven demand for the yen. Closes: Dollar index -0.355 (-0.43%), EUR/USD +0.0067 (+0.52%), USD/JPY -0.242 (-0.25%).
June WTI crude oil (CLM13 -0.29%) this morning is down -0.30 (-0.32%) and June gasoline (RBM13 -0.24%) is down -0.0076 (-0.27%). June crude oil and gasoline on Monday closed mixed.
