Wednesday, June 19, 4:22 AM European shares (FEZ) mostly fall as investors adjust their positions ahead of the Fed, although there does seem to be increasing confidence that the FOMC won't signal the end of its QE program today. "There is a lot of slack in the economy and there is no inflation pressure," says Standard Chartered's Ned Rumpeltin. EU Stoxx 50 -0.1%, London -0.7%, Paris -0.6%, Frankfurt -0.7%, Madrid +0.5%, Milan flat. Comment! [Global & FX, Top Stories, On the Move]
Tuesday, June 18, 4:13 AM Asian and European (FEZ) shares are mixed as markets await the word from the FOMC, which is due to start a two-day session today. "I think the Fed is secretly sitting with its fingers crossed, hoping that the froth continues to be skimmed off asset markets," says analyst Nick Beecroft. "I don't think they will be bothered at all if the S&P 500 or other risk markets fall 5 or 10%, as long as it didn't happen in a (single) day." Japan -0.2%, Hong Kong flat, China +0.1%, India -0.2%. EU Stoxx 50 -0.2%, London +0.4%, Paris -0.2%, Frankfurt -0.1%, Madrid +0.4%, Milan +0.4%. 3 Comments [Global & FX, Top Stories, On the Move]
Monday, June 17, 4:08 AM European equities (FEZ) follow Asian stocks higher as traders wait on the FOMC, which is due to meet tomorrow and on Wednesday. "Investors may be getting used to the idea that a very gradual tapering isn't such bad news, considering that the (U.S) economy is slowly recovering," says Mirabaud Securities' John Plassard. Telefonica is +2.3% on buyout speculation involving AT&T. EU Stoxx 50 +1.1%, London +0.8%, Paris +1.3%, Frankfurt +1.3%, Milan +0.05%, Madrid +0.6%. Comment! [Global & FX, Top Stories, On the Move]
Friday, June 14, 4:33 AM Most European shares (FEZ) follow their Asian counterparts higher on reduced fears about the tapering off of the Fed's money printing splurge. EU Stoxx 50 +0.5%, London +0.5%, Paris +0.4%, Frankfurt +0.9%, Madrid +0.5%, Milan -0.1%. Comment! [On the Move, Global & FX, Top Stories]
Thursday, June 13, 3:53 AM European shares (FEZ) follow Asia lower as the great global sell-off continues. "Low volumes and high volatility will remain the order of the day at least until next week's FOMC meeting, with technical considerations set to dominate," says Peel Hunt equity strategist Ian Williams. EU Stoxx 50 -1.3%, London -1%, Paris -1%, Frankfurt -1.7%, Madrid -1.1%, Milan -1%. 1 Comment [Global & FX, Top Stories, On the Move]
Wednesday, June 12, 4:14 AM Japanese shares (EWJ) have had another volatile day, falling as much as 2.4% before rebounding to close a mere -0.2%. European stocks (FEZ) have recovered a bit of poise after two days of declines, as has the dollar-yen rate (FXY), which is +0.75%. But the continuing theme of uncertainty about central bank stimulus is keeping markets on edge. Hong Kong and China closed. India -0.2%. EU Stoxx 50 +0.2%, London flat, Paris +0.2%, Frankfurt +0.1%, Madrid +0.65%, Milan +0.1%. 1 Comment [Top Stories, On the Move, Global & FX]
Tuesday, June 11, 6:44 AM S&P 500 (SPY) futures -0.8% and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) -0.9% as markets elsewhere fall sharply overnight. The Nikkei declined 1.5% and the yen rose 0.6% after the BOJ offers up no new candy and sounds a bit more upbeat on the economy. Europe (FEZ) is off 1.7%. Treasurys continue to slide, the 10-year yield now up to 2.26%. 4 Comments [On the Move]
Thursday, June 6, 6:39 AM S&P 500 (SPY) futures +0.35% and Nasdaq 100 futures +0.2% following yesterday's big losses. Europe shrugs off the decline, the Stoxx 50 (FEZ) +0.5% ahead of the ECB meeting, while Asia was broadly lower to the tune of about 1%. The 10-year Treasury yield is off 1 bp to 2.08%. Comment!
Wednesday, June 5, 7:01 AM S&P 500 (SPY) futures -0.5% and Nasdaq 100 -0.4% following a 3.8% dive in the Nikkei overnight. Europe's Stoxx 50 (FEZ) is off by 1.2%. The 10-year Treasury yield falls 1 basis point to 2.12%. 6 Comments
Monday, June 3, 6:49 AM S&P 500 futures +0.4% and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) futures +0.3% as world markets mostly keep declines contained following Friday's late plunge in the States. Off 1.5% early, Europe is currently at its session high, the Stoxx 50 (FEZ) -0.15%. 2 Comments
Thursday, May 30, 6:59 AM S&P 500 (SPY) futures +0.2% and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) +0.1% erase overnight losses following another plunge (5.15%) in the Nikkei. Europe shrugs it off as well, the Stoxx 50 (FEZ) + 0.8%, led by a 1% gain in Italy. 1 Comment
Tuesday, May 28, 6:48 AM S&P (SPY) futures +0.7%, Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) +0.9% after the long weekend as Europe logged moderate gains Monday and is up sharply today, the Stoxx 50 (FEZ) +1.3%. Japan tumbled anew (3.7%) on Monday, but gained 1.2% back last night. 1 Comment
Monday, May 27, 7:46 AM Alphavue's Pierre-Tves Gauthier is looking for a 20% upside in European equities (FEZ) amid "returning confidence" which he says is something people "forget about" what with the "absolutely awful macro-dynamic" in Spain and Italy. Gauthier claims the potential for share price drops in Spanish and Italian banks "has topped," an interesting contention given the projected €5-10B in extra provisions Spain's banks will need to take against refies. Ultimately, strong balance sheets and accelerating earnings "make a simple 'buy' recommendation," he says. Comment! [Global & FX, Financials]
Friday, May 24, 7:01 AM Stock index futures are shaky after an ugly session in Japan. Following its 7.3% plunge on Thursday, shares bounced nearly 4% as the yen resumed sinking. This soon reversed and shares plunged anew - dropping about 7% from their session high. The Nikkei eventually eked out a small gain as the yen (FXY) closed stronger again, dollar/yen falling 0.6% to ¥101.46. S&P 500 (SPY) futures -0.5%, Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) -0.5%. Japan: EWJ -2.6%, DXJ -3.7% premarket. Europe (FEZ) -0.5%. 2 Comments
Thursday, May 23, 6:48 AM S&P 500 futures (SPY) -1%, Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) -1% following the Nikkei's 7.3% crash overnight. In Europe, the Stoxx 50 (FEZ) -2.2%. Shanghai fell 1.2% as its PMI slipped into contraction territory for the first time in 7 months. Treasurys catch a bid, the 10-year yield off 5 bps to 1.99%, TLT +0.8% premarket. 12 Comments
Tuesday, May 14, 8:59 AM GMO's 7-year asset allocation model for U.S. stocks (VTI) is now predicting negative returns, says James Montier, presenting at the London Value Conference, and telling the audience GMO is now 50% in cash. Liking Europe (VGK, EZU, FEZ) a year ago, the big run has GMO less excited now. The best value could be emerging markets (EEM, DEM, VWO), but China's property bubble has GMO allocating less to EM than its models suggest. 14 Comments [Global & FX]
