Tuesday, June 18, 6:40 AM Futures point to opening gains, the S&P 500 (SPY) and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) both up 0.25% three hours before the bell. Most of Europe is moderately higher and Japan enjoyed a rare quiet session overnight. Treasury prices are flat ahead of the Fed beginning its 2-day meeting today. Comment!
Monday, June 17, 6:38 AM Stocks look to open the week with big gains, S&P 500 (SPY) futures +0.9% and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) futures +1%. The Nikkei gained 2.7% overnight and Europe is sharply higher as well, the Stoxx 50 +1.6%. 3 Comments
Thursday, June 13, 3:49 PM Markets get another boost as a soothing Jon Hilsenrath piece hits reminding the Fed wants us to know a taper of asset purchases doesn't mean an end to asset purchases, and a hike in short-term interest rates isn't anywhere close to being on the radar at this point. S&P 500 (SPY +1.6%), Nasdaq 100 (QQQ +1.4%). 18 Comments
Thursday, June 13, 6:38 AM S&P 500 (SPY) futures slip 0.3% and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) -0.3% as global markets continue to sell off. Europe's down less than 1%, but the real damage was in Asia, with the Nikkei off 6.4%, Shangahi down 2.8%, and the Hang Seng -2.2%. U.S. Treasury yields helpfully back up a bit, the 10-year off 5 bps to 2.18%. TLT +0.9% premarket. 2 Comments
Wednesday, June 12, 6:48 AM Stock index futures point to an opening rebound, the S&P 500 (SPY) +0.5% and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) +0.4%. After a near 2.5% dive early, the Nikkei ended up losing just 0.5% overnight, and Europe is moderately in the green. 2 Comments
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]
Friday, June 7, 8:35 AM SPY +0.5% and QQQ +0.4% as the Nonfarm Payroll print doesn't show a blowout increase in jobs and unemployment actually ticked higher - perhaps pushing off the Fed's tapering for another quarter. Importantly, Treasury prices head higher (yields lower), TLT +0.3% premarket. 2 Comments [On the Move]
Friday, June 7, 7:01 AM S&P 500 (SPY) and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) futures are about unchanged ahead of this morning's employment report. Europe's mixed, but little-changed, and the Nikkei dove another 1.8% overnight. 1 Comment
Thursday, June 6, 12:15 PM Stocks turn down at lunchtime, the Dow (DIA -0.3%), S&P 500 (SPY -0.2%), and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ -0.4%) all at session lows as some may be trimming positions ahead of what should be a vital employment report tomorrow morning. Long-term Treasury prices (TLT +0.4%) move to their highest levels in about 2 weeks. 4 Comments
Wednesday, June 5, 11:16 AM Stocks broadly tumble in late-morning trade, the S&P 500 (SPY -0.8%), the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ -0.8%), and the Dow (DIA, DOG) off triple-digits. The financial sector (XLF -1.3%) leads the way, headed by a 2.1% decline in Citigroup. Higher interest rates may be the worry, but the stock market's fall pretty much means they're not coming. The 10-year Treasury yield slips 3 bps to 2.10%. TLT +1%, TBT -1.8%. 14 Comments
Tuesday, June 4, 1:47 PM Stocks turn notably lower in afternoon trade, the S&P 500 (SPY -0.7%), the Nasdaq 100 (QQQ -0.6%), and the Dow (DIA) off triple digits. Interest rates were higher earlier, but falling equities have given Treasurys a renewed bid. Posting sizable gains earlier, junk bonds (HYG, JNK) have returned to flat on the session. Comment!
Tuesday, June 4, 6:55 AM Futures (SPY, QQQ) are flat following yesterday's modest rally. It looks like we're not going to be able to take our eye off U.S. interest rates for awhile, so Treasurys are modestly higher, with the 10-year yield at 2.13%. 2 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
Friday, May 31, 6:51 AM S&P 500 (SPY) futures -0.5% and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) futures -0.6% after the Nikkei can't hold a big opening rally and closes just 0.5% higher and Europe is caught in a moderate selloff. Treasury yields - for the moment - break out of their run higher - the 10-year off 4 bps to 2.07%. 1 Comment
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
Wednesday, May 29, 7:05 AM S&P (SPY) futures -0.6% and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) futures -0.5% as yesterday's carnage in bonds and levered income stocks catches up to the major averages. Europe gives up its gains from yesterday as well, the Stoxx 50 -1.3%. 4 Comments
