- Saturday, May 11, 10:13 PM "They say unemployment rate, but they really mean" the S&P 500 (SPY), says David Rosenberg, referring of course, to the esteemed members of the FOMC. "After all, to get the wealth effect to work on spending, you have to generate the wealth," he continues. As for the sustainability of the rally in both equities and fixed income, Rosenberg is having déjà vu: "Distortions caused by negative real interest rates, the mis-pricing of risk and promotion of leverage sounds a lot like the previous cycle … enjoy it while you can." (Also: NYSE margin debt signals return of leverage) 10 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Friday, May 10, 8:33 AM The S&P 500 (SPY) has yet to have even a 4% correction this year, with the only other time since 1980 the index made it to this point without one being 1995, according to Miller Tabak. The S&P went on the finish 1995 with a 34% advance that was but a small precursor to gains yet to come. One difference: 1995's gain was led by cyclicals and tech. This year's by defensive sectors (though showing signs of rotation). 4 Comments
- Friday, May 10, 6:53 AM S&P 500 (SPY) and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) futures both +0.25%, behind moderate rallies throughout Asia and Europe. There's nothing moderate about Japan where the Nikkei jumped 2.9% as dollar/yen punched through resistance of ¥100 yesterday and kept going, now at ¥101.40. 2 Comments
- Thursday, May 9, 3:36 PM Apparently behind the mid-afternoon drop in the S&P 500 (SPY) (a not insignificant 10 points), the soaring dollar (UUP), and sinking commodities (GLD, USO) was the rumor of a Jon Hilsenrath article set to hit the WSJ claiming "tapering" of asset purchases is coming sooner rather than later. Thus far, nothing is up. 47 Comments
- Thursday, May 9, 8:46 AM More on Jobless Claims: The 4-week moving average slides 6.25K to 336,750. Continuing claims fall 27K to 3.01M, the 4-week average off 24.5K to 3.03M. SPY -0.2% premarket, QQQ -0.4%. Comment! [U.S. Economy]
- Tuesday, May 7, 7:48 AM 414 S&P 500 (SPY) earnings reports are in the books, reports tradefast, with 47% beating estimates on sales, 72% on EPS - with the aggregate earnings surprise 5.4% and Y/Y EPS growth of 2.5%. Annual sales growth is negative 1.4%. The numbers confirm it's sluggish out there, but companies are still able to profit by trimming costs. Comment!
- Tuesday, May 7, 6:49 AM S&P 500 (SPY) futures +0.1% and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) futures +0.2% following a major rally in Japan overnight and a solid rise midday in Europe (FEZ), +0.7%. Comment!
- Monday, May 6, 8:40 AM Laszlo Birinyi ups his S&P 500 (SPY) target this year to 1,900, the index having already hit his original 1,600 guess. He says this year's bull market most resembles the patterns etched in 1982 and 1990, suggesting another 20% of upside. "In addition to the historical parallels, we still view sentiment as subdued and nowwhere approaching extremes." 11 Comments
- Monday, May 6, 7:27 AM The S&P 500 (SPY) is fairly valued, says Goldman, but opportunity lies in cyclicals (XLY, XLE, XLI, XLB) which are more undervalued vs. defensives (XLU, XLP, XLV, XTL) than at any time in the last 15 years. "Given the 4 P/E multiple point head start, even a slight valuation normalization should translate into outperformance of cyclicals over defensives during the next 12 months." 1 Comment
- Monday, May 6, 7:12 AM Stock index futures (SPY, QQQ) are flat after last week's big gains. Asia was most higher following Friday's big rally in the States, but Europe - which already had its big gain on Friday - is lower by about 0.5%. Comment!
- Friday, May 3, 12:54 PM Stocks remain sharply higher midday (SPY +1.2%), with the year's leaders - healthcare (XLV +0.7%), utilities (XLU +0.2%), and staples (XLP +0.7%) - lagging, and the year's laggers - industrials (XLI +2.1%), tech (XLK +1.1%), and energy (XLE +1.9%) - leading. Treasurys (TLT -2.1%) are suffering one of their worst days of the year, and broader fixed income (AGG -0.3%). 1 Comment
- Friday, May 3, 8:43 AM Stock futures pop after the big NFP beat, SPY +0.8%, QQQ +0.7% premarket. The long bond dives, now down nearly a full point, TLT -1.2% premarket. Sporting losses earlier, the dollar moves into the green, UUP +0.4%. Nicely higher minutes ago, GLD -0.4%. Comment!
- Friday, May 3, 7:07 AM S&P 500 (SPY) and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) futures are about flat ahead of this morning's Nonfarm Payroll report. 1 Comment
- Thursday, May 2, 6:48 AM S&P 500 (SPY) futures +0.3%, Nasdaq 100 (QQQ) +0.3%, both pointing to at least an opening bounce after yesterday's slide. After opening solidly lower, Europe has pulled back to the flattish area as it awaits word from the ECB on a rate cut. The Stoxx 50 (FEZ) -0.05%. Comment!
- Wednesday, May 1, 2:12 PM More FOMC: Other than the pledge to adjust QE as necessary, there's little changed language in the policy statement. The one dissenting vote is again KC Fed Chief Esther George. The S&P 500 is marginally higher now than before the statement, (SPY -0.7%). Treasurys (TLT +0.6%) lose a little ground, but the 10-year yield is sharply lower on the day, down 5 bps to 1.63%. The dollar (UUP -0.2%) remains down for the session. 5 Comments [U.S. Economy]
- Wednesday, May 1, 10:16 AM More on the continued ISM decline: The guts look a little better as New Orders rose to 52.3 vs. 51.4 previously and Production moved to 53.5 from 52.2. The weakest numbers in the report are Inventories at 46.5 from 49.5 and Customers' Inventories at 44.5 from 47.5 - both suggesting a restocking is necessary. Stocks continue lower. S&P 500 (SPY -0.5%) and Nasdaq 100 (QQQ -0.3%), but Treasurys (TLT +0.7%) make new YTD lows in yield, the 10-year at 1.64%, the long bond at 2.84%. 2 Comments [U.S. Economy]
