- Thursday, May 23, 10:19 AM Off the lows. Forty-five minutes into the session finds stocks posting just moderate losses. S&P 500 (SPY -0.7%), Nasdaq 100 (QQQ -0.4%) - with Apple a notable gainer, +0.7%. George Soros' reflexitivity: Worry of tapering sends stocks lower, thereby lessening chances of tapering. 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
- Wednesday, May 22, 2:10 PM Stocks had already shed their Bernanke-testimony gains from this morning and they head even lower following the release of the FOMC minutes showing a "number" willing to begin tapering QE as soon as the next policy meeting. S&P 500 (SPY -0.4%), Nasdaq 100 (QQQ -0.6%). The dollar (UUP +0.4%) moves to a new session-high, and Treasurys (TLT -1.3%) continue to sell off. 11 Comments
- Wednesday, May 22, 6:52 AM Stock index futures (SPY, QQQ, DIA) are slightly in the green ahead of Bernanke's 10 ET appearance before Congress. Europe is moderately lower and Asia was mostly lower - the exception of course being Japan where the BOJ now promises to stomp down any restiveness in JGBs where yields are doing something they haven't done in years ... rise. 3 Comments
- Tuesday, May 21, 6:58 AM Stock index futures (SPY, QQQ, DIA) are little-changed following yesterday's quiet action. Europe is moderately lower at midday and Asia closed down a bit - though Japan squeezed out a small gain. Comment!
- Monday, May 20, 1:28 PM Dovish Chicago Fed chief Charles Evans sounds constructive on the economy saying it's performing quite well and that Fed policy should hit "escape velocity" in 2014. Stocks give up their small gains, SPY now flat and the QQQs -0.4%, even with a 1.8% gain from Apple. 33 Comments
- Sunday, May 19, 9:52 AM There is no precedent for the current market, writes The Fat Pitch. Consider: 1) The S&P (SPY) has been up 56 of 88 trading sessions this year 2) It's up an uncorrected 24% since the post-election low - the longest streak in over 3 decades 3) The Nasdaq (QQQ) is on pace for a 7th straight up month, an occurrence with a 3-in-100 probability. Long term it's bullish, writes Ukarlewitz, as this sort of strength is rarely the end of a trend. Short term? Stay nimble. 51 Comments
- Friday, May 17, 3:03 PM Stocks move to new session highs an hour before the bell, perhaps soothed by the FOMC's Kocherlakota arguing the Fed isn't easy enough. It's the opposite of 24 hours ago when John Williams' hawkish words knocked the markets for a few points. (SPY +0.9%), (DIA +0.4%), (QQQ +0.8%). 10 Comments
- Friday, May 17, 8:13 AM Thomas Lee lifts his year-end S&P 500 (SPY) forecast to 1,715 from 1,580 as the bull has already outrun his expectations. His team sees clues economic performance is picking up, including the outperformance of semiconductors (XSD) vs. transports (IYT), and the steepening of the 10 year/30 year Treasury curve. Risk/reward is particularly appealing in tech (XLK), healthcare (XLV), and financials (XLF). Comment!
- Friday, May 17, 6:54 AM S&P 500 (SPY) futures +0.3% and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) futures +0.2% as stocks look to shake off yesterday's minor slide. The big mover overseas was Shanghai, +1.4%. Stocks rose again in Tokyo and Europe is modestly higher. 1 Comment
- Thursday, May 16, 7:38 AM Cisco (CSCO) is now up 9.4% premarket following last night's earnings and guidance. Lazard's Ryan Hitchinson notes guidance was light, but likely beat a lot of the whispers out there. He also believes management is remaining conservative amid improving demand trends. A bellwether no more, Cisco's moonshot is having little effect on the QQQs, which are barely green at the moment. 6 Comments [Tech, On the Move]
- Thursday, May 16, 7:08 AM S&P 500 (SPY) and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) futures are about flat ahead of barrage of economic data and Fed speakers as well as the continuing flow of earnings, today including Wal-Mart. Comment!
- Wednesday, May 15, 5:02 PM The QQQ's come to China with the launch of a Shanghai-listed ETF targeting the same Nasdaq 100 index. It's the first time Chinese investors have access to the U.S. market using an ETF. Comment!
- Wednesday, May 15, 1:23 AM IDC cuts its 2013 IT spending growth forecast to 4.9% from 5.5%, citing macro issues and weak PC demand; 2012 growth was 5.6%. Gartner, which includes a bigger array of products/services in its numbers, forecast 4.1% growth last month. IDC now sees U.S. software spending (MSFT, ORCL) growing 6%, down from a prior 7%. Storage hardware revenue (EMC, NTAP) is only expected to grow 2.4%, down from 2012's 6.1%, and carrier spending on networking gear (CSCO, JNPR, ALU, CIEN) is expected to grow just 1.1% vs. 5.8% in 2012. Recent earnings reports and warnings (I, II, III, IV) help explain the subdued outlook. 2 Comments [Tech]
- Tuesday, May 14, 8:03 AM More from Tepper: "We're going to get this hyper-drive market," unless the Fed starts tapering its purchases, he says (referencing 1999), adding the June meeting wouldn't be a bad time to get started. He pulls out this chart from a recent FRBNY report, showing stocks remain cheap - the equity premium to bonds is as high as it's been in the last 50 years. 16 Comments
- Tuesday, May 14, 7:52 AM Tepper stays bullish. Confounding gnomes who whispered the hedge fund honcho was turning cautious on stocks, David Tepper tells the CNBC crew the wave of liquidity that turned him bullish in the first place is getting even bigger. Fed tapering? So what, he says. The U.S. budget deficit over the next 6 months will only be $100B, while the Fed is scheduled to buy about $500B. That's $400B coming out of the bond market and going to investors who can buy more fixed-income, more real estate, more stocks. SPY erases losses and gets back to flat premarket. 11 Comments [Breaking News]
