- Friday, April 26, 6:57 AM S&P 500 (SPY) futures slide 0.3%, Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) -0.3% ahead of this morning's first look at Q1 GDP. Europe's off about 1% across the board, though Japan managed to post a minor gain even as the BOJ offered no new candy at its policy meeting. 3 Comments
- Thursday, April 25, 3:59 PM Not really news, but good enough to knock stocks (DIA, SPY, QQQ) well of their highs in the last hour is the Bundesbank - in a filing to Germany's high court - signaling its displeasure with the ECB's Outright Monetary Transactions. OMT hasn't been used yet, but was put in place by the central bank last year to - if necessary - buy the debt of peripheral countries. 1 Comment [Global & FX]
- Thursday, April 25, 3:02 PM Stocks ease off gains an hour before the bell, the Dow (DIA +0.3%) boosted by financials and tech, but dragged by 3M and Exxon after their earnings disappointed. The S&P (SPY +0.5%) and the Nasdaq (QQQ +0.5%) fare better. 2 Comments
- Thursday, April 25, 8:35 AM S&P 500 (SPY) futures extend gains, +0.5% after jobless claims fall to their lowest level in 6 weeks. Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) +0.7%. The 4-week moving average fell 4.5K to 357.5K. Comment!
- Wednesday, April 24, 10:10 AM Turning 10 this week, the Guggenheim S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (RSP) has outperformed the SPY by 5,900 basis points since its launch. The RSP was one of the pioneers of equal-weighting - created in the aftermath of the 2000 bust to give investors exposure to stocks without so high a focus on large caps (the so-called "Cisco effect"). It's time for a renaming to the "Apple effect" as QQQE - the Nasdaq 100 Equal Weighted ETF - has outperformed the QQQ by 850 bps YTD. 3 Comments
- Wednesday, April 24, 6:54 AM S&P 500 (SPY) futures +0.15% following yesterday's big rally here and especially across the pond. Europe tacks on more gains, the Stoxx 50 +0.4% as momentum continues to build for an ECB rate cut next week. Apple is lower by 0.75%, erasing gains in the 5% area after the earnings and its plan to take on debt to return cash to shareholders. Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) futures +0.2%. 5 Comments
- Tuesday, April 23, 5:52 PM The SEC will give a closer look to the "bogus" tweet from the AP that (for four minutes) interrupted today's stock rally by forcing a near-1% drop in the S&P 500 (SPY). Commissioner Dan Gallagher says a review of today's action will help evaluate the effectiveness of measures introduced after the "Flash Crash" of May 2010. 3 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Tuesday, April 23, 10:27 AM Stocks continue higher, SPY +0.9% as Europe soars (FEZ +2%) following economic data (there, here, and in China) that on balance was pretty weak. Leading the gains in the states is the banking sector - XLF +1.3% - following a big upgrade for Bank of America (up 3%). 2 Comments
- Tuesday, April 23, 9:09 AM More on the big Flash PMI miss: It's the largest monthly decline since June 2010, "raising concerns that the U.S. manufacturing expansion is losing momentum rapidly," says Markit. "With backlogs of work falling at one of the fastest rates since the height of the financial crisis, firms will also look to cut headcounts soon." S&P 500 (SPY) futures back off earlier gains, now +0.35%. 3 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Monday, April 22, 11:08 AM "When the cover of a major financial magazine features a cartoon of a bull leaping through the air on a pogo stick, it's probably about time to cash in the chips," writes John Hussman, commenting on Saturday's Barron's cover. Ryan Detrick notes the Barron's big money poll was decidedly more bearish 6 months and 1,000 Dow (DIA) points ago. 5 Comments
- Friday, April 19, 7:06 AM S&P 500 (SPY) futures +0.7% and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) +0.6% following well-received earnings reports from Google and Microsoft, but not-so-hot numbers from IBM. Sizable rallies in Asia and Europe help as well. Shanghai +2.2%, Stoxx 50 +1.2%. 1 Comment
- Thursday, April 18, 9:03 AM After dropping to the lowest level since March 2009 last week, bulls gain 7.5 points to 26.8% in the AAII Investor Sentiment Survey. The long-term average of bulls is 39%. Those bearish drop 6.3 points to 48.2% - still well above the long-term average of 30.5%. From Bespoke is this chart of the SPY vs. the AAII bulls since 2009. 3 Comments
- Thursday, April 18, 6:57 AM S&P 500 (SPY) +0.35%, Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) +0.4% following yesterday's ugly session, with the two downside leaders - Apple and BofA - up marginally in the premarket. Helping is a moderate rally in Europe, which has really struggled of late - Germany's DAX's bad string has returned it to flat for the year. 2 Comments
- Wednesday, April 17, 7:22 AM Futures post sizable losses - the S&P 500 (SPY) -0.7% and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) -0.8% - as Europe fails to participate in a fairly broad global rally, the Stoxx 50 (FEZ) off 1.3%. Also not helping are Bank of America and Yahoo down more than 2% following earnings. 6 Comments
- Tuesday, April 16, 8:57 AM Stocks are "far from the overextended levels that prevailed at the prior peaks," says BAML, comparing the S&P 500 (SPY) today to March 2000 and October 2007. Earnings and dividend yields today are far higher; PE ratios, Price/Book, EV/EBITDA are all lower. "Third time a charm?" 1 Comment
- Tuesday, April 16, 7:05 AM S&P 500 (SPY) futures show at least an early bounce from yesterday's sorry action, +0.5%. Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) +0.6%. 1 Comment
