- Monday, June 25, 2012, 8:09 AM The deteriorating U.S. economic outlook is of more concern than Europe to Goldman's Jim O'Neill. A year ago, the conventional wisdom said if contagion spread to Spain, it was game over. Well, it has, and here we are. "Does it ultimately matter to European equities whether the euro persists or not? ... (they're) so cheap that perhaps investors should ... turn off their computers and TV and disappear on vacation." 3 Comments [Global & FX, U.S. Economy]
- Monday, June 11, 2012, 7:16 AM A timeline (via Scotty Barber) of the rolling eurozone bailouts mapped against the broad European equity index. About the only time it paid to buy right after was following the Irish bailout - which had the happy coincidence of occurring as QE2 was underway. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Friday, June 8, 2012, 12:31 PM Dividends may not be a free lunch, but WisdomTree research shows the highest quintile of payers outperformed the S&P 500 by 2.5%/year over the last half century, and with less beta. Even the 2nd highest quintile performed 2% better/year than the S&P. (a sampling) Comment! [Quick Ideas]
- Thursday, June 7, 2012, 3:46 PM Seeing a huge surge of interest in "esoteric" investments (MLPs to name one) paying fat yields, one financial adviser sees the instruments approaching bubble territory. No such froth is evident in plain-vanilla dividend payers, VIG lagging the SPY for the last 2 years. Comment! [Quick Ideas]
- Thursday, June 7, 2012, 4:29 AM Chinese sovereign wealth fund CIC has scaled back its holdings of European stocks and bonds, and CIC Chairman Lou Jiwei says he sees mounting risks of a eurozone breakup. The remarks underscore China's dismay at how eurozone leaders are handling the crisis in China's largest export market. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, June 6, 2012, 8:44 AM Draghi press conference: The gist of his prepared remarks suggests the ECB is holding firm in its insistence it won't come to the rescue of governments that (it feels) continue to dally. European shares are shedding some gains, the Stoxx 50 up just 1%. The euro takes a big dive, now back to flat at $1.2457. 3 Comments [Global & FX, Breaking News]
- Saturday, June 2, 2012, 10:00 AM Pass on the "ice cream" and focus on the "spinach," writes Brendan Conway, noting the S&P's high-yield stocks are trading at their greatest premium to the steady dividend growers in at least 20 years. High yields may presage low future dividend growth, make the stock more susceptible to rising interest rates, and will get hurt more in event of a tax hike. Possible picks: VIG, SDY. 2 Comments [Quick Ideas]
- Wednesday, May 30, 2012, 7:17 AM The bank recapitalization news putting a charge in markets over the past minutes is from a European Commission report suggesting the eurozone set up a "banking union," and allow the ESM (the rescue fund) to directly inject capital into lenders. Such a setup would allow, for instance, much of the issue regarding Spain and its banks to go away. Expect German/ECB denials soon. 2 Comments [Global & FX, Breaking News, Top Stories]
- Tuesday, May 29, 2012, 3:09 PM Investors in a defensive mood can always turn to dividend stock plays, writes Russ Koesterich. Indices of dividend stocks have volatility of just 80% or less than the S&P 500. And don't forget emerging markets, where dividend indices also exhibit lower volatility than the broad markets in which they reside. 1 Comment
- Friday, May 18, 2012, 8:26 AM The ECB is playing a game of chicken - sitting on its hands to play tough with the Club Med states - but (along with the other major central banks) will "step in massively," says HSBC's David Bloom, and set off a powerful rally. Bob Janjuah agrees - "The Fed and the ECB will respond (soon) and trigger a short, sharp rally." 5 Comments [Global & FX]
- Wednesday, May 16, 2012, 9:44 AM European shares are giving up their meek rally attempt as ECB President Draghi takes the occasion of a gathering panic to speak about the bank's focus on price stability as keeping inflation expectations down. On Greece, he says the EU treaty sees no possibility of an exit from EMU. "Dude, a lot of stuff is not in the treaty," snipes Dow Jones' Katie Martin. 3 Comments [Global & FX, Breaking News]
- Tuesday, May 15, 2012, 9:23 AM The news coming out of Greece was certainly expected, so what's tanking markets? "New Greek election will lead to victory of Syriza and collision course with Troika that will lead to default and exit," tweets Nouriel, summing things up in 140 characters or less. Stoxx 50 -1.2%, S&P futures give up about 1%, now -0.1%. Comment! [Global & FX]
- Tuesday, May 15, 2012, 5:05 AM Eurozone flash Q1 GDP comes in flat vs. expectations of a 0.2% contraction, narrowly avoiding the region's second recession in three years after GDP contracted 0.3% in Q4. European stocks tick up slightly: London +0.1%. Paris +0.5%. Frankfurt -0.1%. No immediate response from the euro, which remains +0.2% vs. USD. (see also: diverging growth in the eurozone) 6 Comments [Breaking News, Global & FX, Top Stories]
- Wednesday, May 9, 2012, 9:11 AM The Spanish PM announced today his country's banking system has collapsed and it's barely caused a whisper, writes Adam Button. Being locked out of debt markets isn't "theoretical," PM Rajoy told the Senate, ("it's) happening to the immense majority of regions, our whole financial sector and most big companies." Madrid -3.7%, STD -6.8%, BBVA -7.1%. 5 Comments [Global & FX]
- Monday, May 7, 2012, 11:06 AM The most interesting market action following the weekend elections may be at least a one-day reversal of the 2012 trend of the S&P and German Dax outperformance. As German-dictated austerity takes a blow, shares here and in Frankfurt are in the red, while Paris, Madrid, and Milan are up 1.5-2.5%. 8 Comments [Global & FX]
- Friday, May 4, 2012, 11:03 AM Perhaps what's really roiling markets today are weekend elections in France and Greece. Greece looks particularly ugly, with true economic collapse in Athens potentially paving the way for the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn party to take 5-6% of the vote (2009 election: 0.23%). The communists are polling at about the same. "Be very worried," says Credit Suisse. 13 Comments [Global & FX]
