Image Market Summaries

The below summaries by Bloomberg, CNNMoney and Yahoo! Finance helps me to do a quick review of the fundamentals, FED actions, global economics that had an impact on today's price action. Simply, I'm a strong believer that many variables (key market events) causes key changes in supply/demand and volatility that's arguably just as important as my technical analysis. Thus, I pay attention to these key market events from one trade to the next trade to give me the market context for my technical analysis.

Aug. 1 (Bloomberg) -- Bloomberg's Deborah Kostroun reports on the performance of the U.S. equity market today. U.S. stocks slumped, sending the Standard & Poor's 500 Index down for a sixth day, as slower-than-forecast growth in manufacturing erased a rally triggered by speculation lawmakers will raise the debt ceiling.

By Hibah Yousuf August 1, 2011: 4:57 PM ET

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Stocks took a wild ride Monday.

The day started with an early rally fueled by hopes of a resolution to the debt standoff in Washington. But a weak manufacturing report quickly deflated that optimism -- leaving stocks little changed as investors await a House vote.

The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) ended down 11 points, or 0.1%, marking the seventh straight day of losses. But the modest decline came after the index tumbled more than 1% earlier in the session -- following a 1% jump at the start of trading.

Home Depot (HD, Fortune 500) and Merck (MRK, Fortune 500) were the biggest laggards on the blue chip index, with shares falling 2%.

The S&P 500 (SPX) slid 5 points, or 0.4%; and the Nasdaq composite (COMP) lost 12 points, or 0.4%.

"The market is schizophrenic the way investors are getting overly panicked and overly excited," said Tyler Vernon, CIO of Biltmore Capital.

While investors showed early enthusiasm for the debt ceiling deal, which needs to be enacted by Tuesday, the fragile U.S. economy quickly took center stage.

* Deal or no deal. Economy still stinks.

Last Friday's second-quarter GDP report in particular served as a stark reminder that the economy is growing at a sluggish 1.3% pace.

The gloom continued into Monday, with a report that showed that the manufacturing sector nearly stood still in July. The Institute for Supply Management's manufacturing index slid to 50.9 in July -- much worse than the level of 54 that economists were expecting, and down from 55.3 in June.

"We keep seeing data that shows the economy is getting worse," said Kim Caughey Forrest, senior equity analyst at Fort Pitt Capital Group. "Earlier this year, we thought the economy would improve -- albeit gradually. But all the negative surprises are concerning investors."

Stocks posted their worst weekly performance in more than a year last week, losing $700 billion in market capitalization.

America's debt crisis: Obama announced late Sunday that lawmakers reached a deal to raise the debt ceiling and dramatically curb federal spending -- and to avoid a costly default in the end.

But the president cautioned that lawmakers' work was not done, with the deal expected to go for a vote Monday.

Even if the deal passes, which many investors are expecting at this point, Vernon said he doesn't think it will do much for markets. While there may be a short relief rally, the market is still facing serious longer-term headwinds.

"If I look out 18 months from now, I'm having a hard time seeing anything good for the economy -- no matter what deal is made," said Vernon, adding that investors are still concerned about high unemployment and the eurozone debt crisis.

* Debt ceiling: What they'll be voting on

"We're going to see some high volatility and more of a trading up, trading down environment until these clouds clear," he said.

Plus, a downgrade of the United States' credit rating still isn't out of the question -- even if the debt ceiling is raised.

"Eventually there's a downgrade coming, it depends on Moody's, S&P and Fitch and they're very slow-moving," PIMCO founder and managing director Bill Gross told CNN Sunday. "This country has $10 to 12 trillion worth of outstanding debt. In addition, however, we've got about $60 trillion worth of liabilities. I call this Debt Man Walking."

Economy: The job market remains one of the roughest spots in the economic recovery, and investors will be bracing for the July jobs report on Friday.

The U.S. economy is expected to have created 78,000 jobs last month, according to a consensus of analysts surveyed by Briefing.com. In June, the economy added a paltry 18,000 jobs.

"We're 25 months into the recovery, and the job market is moving in the right direction but it's still abysmal," said Mark Luschini, chief investment strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott. "If the figures on Friday come below estimates, that will only compound economic concerns and lift the probability of the economy falling back into a recession."

Companies: Shares of HSBC Holdings PLC (HBC) rose 1.6%, after the London-based bank announced it will eliminate 25,000 jobs by 2013. The bank has already trimmed 5,000 jobs. The job cuts are seen as a positive, since they will help the bank reduce costs. HSBC also posted a solid profit.

* Video - Defense contractors under debt deal cloud

Shares of defense firms slipped, since the debt deal includes as much as $2.4 trillion in spending cuts, some of which could hurt major government contractors.

Shares of Northrop Grumman (NOC, Fortune 500) and Lockheed Martin (LMT, Fortune 500) sank more than 1%, while Raytheon (RTN, Fortune 500) and General Dynamics (GD, Fortune 500) also declined.

Currencies and commodities: The dollar rose against the euro, British pound and Japanese yen.

Oil for September delivery fell 81 cents to settle at $94.89 a barrel.

Gold futures for December slipped $9.50 to $1,621.70 an ounce.

Bonds: The price on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury edged higher, pushing the yield down to 2.76% from 2.80% late Friday.

World markets: European stocks drifted into the red in the afternoon and also ended lower. Britain's FTSE 100 fell 0.7%, the DAX in Germany dropped 2.8% and France's CAC 40 sank 1.9%.

Asian markets ended the session with gains, with Tokyo's Nikkei leading the rally, after Obama announced the debt deal. The Shanghai Composite edged higher 0.1%, the Hang Seng in Hong Kong rose 1% and Japan's Nikkei climbed 1.3%.

Image Yahoo! Finance - Market Update

4:30 pm : Stocks started the session with a 1% gain, but rolled over to trade with a 1% loss as participants discarded news that legislative leaders agreed on a debt deal to focus on the tenuous U.S. economy.

Participants first applauded news that leaders of the House and Senate have agreed to certain spending cuts and an increased debt ceiling so as to help avoid a default on U.S. debt. Of course, many recognized that an official vote has yet to be made. Also, debt rating agencies have yet to weigh in, leaving some to wonder whether or not the U.S. will lose its coveted top-notch AAA credit rating.

Nonetheless, the news helped stocks stage a nice gap up at the open. The move offered stocks relief from the near 4% slide that they had suffered during the course of last week's trade. It didn't take long for support to fade, though. Stocks steadily descended from their opening high, then gained momentum to the downside with the release of the latest ISM Manufacturing Index.

The ISM Index for July was widely expected to come in at 54.0. It fell to 50.9 from 55.3 in the prior month instead. As for manufacturing activity abroad, China's PMI Manufacturing Index for July dipped to 50.7 from 50.9 in June. The final July reading for the eurozone PMI Manufacturing Index stayed at 50.5, but Germany's PMI Manufacturing Index for July came in at 52.0, which is slightly less than the 52.1 that was posted in the preliminary reading. France's PMI Manufacturing reading inched up to 50.5 from the 50.1 that was posted in the preliminary reading.

Europe's bourses suffered a rush of aggressive selling shortly before they closed. Their weak finish coincided with additional selling pressure in the broad U.S. equity market.

The S&P 500 may have settled in the red, which made for its sixth straight loss, but it was able to work its way up from its midday low. That meant that it avoided closing below its 200-day moving average after it had traded below the key technical line earlier in the day.

Favor for relatively conservative, dividend paying plays made telecom and utilities today's top performers. As a group, telecom stocks advanced 0.9%. Utilities managed to muster a collective gain of 0.3%.

Every other major sector suffered a loss. Health care stocks were hit the hardest. The sector ended the day with a 1.7% loss, although it had been down by about 2.5% at its session low. Managed care plays slumped as participants shrugged off an upside earnings surprise by Humana (HUM 72.36, -2.22) to focus on the threat of pricing pressure within the industry.

Overall weakness among stocks helped send Treasuries higher again. In turn, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Note dropped below 2.75% for the first time since November.

The greenback also benefited from buying interest. It had trailed a basket of major foreign currencies in the early going, but managed to rally to a 0.8% gain, as of the close of trade. The dollar is still down about 6% for the year, though.

Advancing Sectors: Telecom +0.9%, Utilities +0.3%
Declining Sectors: Energy -0.1%, Tech -0.2%, Consumer Staples -0.3%, Financials -0.3%, Materials -0.4%, Industrials -0.5%, Consumer Discretionary -0.6%, Health Care -1.7%DJ30 -10.75 NASDAQ -11.77 NQ100 -0.4% R2K -0.5% SP400 -0.7% SP500 -5.34 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1189/2.23 bln/1400 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1616/1.11 bln/1428

3:30 pm : Precious metals rallied off of their respective intraday lows following this morning's ISM econ number, which was worse than expected. Dec gold futures rallied back to unchanged, momentarily trading into positive territory, but pulled back from that area heading into the close. They finished lower by 0.5% to $1621.70 per ounce. Sept silver came up just shy of unchanged, but like gold, pulled back into negative territory heading into the close. It finished lower by 2% to $39.31 per ounce.

The ISM number caused Sept crude oil, which settled lower by 0.9% to $94.89 per barrel, to sell off throughout the morning. It notched lows at $93.42 in mid-morning trade, marking a sell off of over 5 points. Futures managed a modest bounce in afternoon trade, to finish with modest losses. Sept natural gas ended higher by 1.1% to $4.19 per MMBtu. DJ30 -15.33 NASDAQ -15.47 SP500 -5.32 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1138/1.8 bln/1446 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1598/779.9 mln/1444

3:00 pm : Stocks have started to break free from their recent trading range. The effort has the stock market at its best level of the afternoon.

Stocks still have a ways to go before they can fully erase this session's loss. Failure to do so would result in the stock market's sixth straight slide. Although such a stretch may seem rare, the stock market actually endured an equally bad slide in early June. DJ30 -31.33 NASDAQ -19.20 SP500 -7.42 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1112/1.60 bln/1455 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1534/688 mln/1482

2:30 pm : The stock market remains range bound in the 1280 zone. It has been dancing along the line for the past two hours.

The broad market's sideways drift has limited the number advancing issues. Among the few that have mustered gains, AT&T (T 29.38, +0.12) and Verizon (VZ 35.65, +0.36) are in the best shape. Their strength comes as participants show favor for relatively conservative, dividend paying plays. DJ30 -39.89 NASDAQ -36.98 SP500 -14.48 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 915/1.49 bln/1660 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1265/640 mln/1765

2:00 pm : Action remains listless. That has left the broad market mired near its low for the day. Losses come largely in response to dour data, which followed what was already fading enthusiasm for the latest debt deal.

The dollar continues to outperform, however. Even though the threat of a debt rating downgrad remains a possibility, given various particulars or shortcomings of the debt ceiling agreement and the fact that it has yet to go to vote, the greenback has maintained a heady lead over competing currencies. That lead has the Dollar Index up 0.8%. DJ30 -75.27 NASDAQ -29.79 SP500 -11.78 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 945/1.40 bln/1625 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1827/600 mln/1680

1:30 pm : The S&P 500 continues to drift along the 1280 line, just beneath its 200-day moving average. The benchmark average last probed the key technical line in late June, but it hasn't actually closed below the line since September.DJ30 -87.53 NASDAQ -30.78 SP500 -12.54 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 920/1.30 bln/1627 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1280/562 mln/1722

1:00 pm : News that legislative leaders reached an agreement on raising the debt ceiling caused stocks to gap up in the early going, but as traders refocus their attention on the tenuous state of the U.S. economy, the stock market has reversed course to trade with a sharp loss at a one-month low.

Efforts by leaders of the House and Senate to avoid a default by the U.S. helped the S&P 500 start the session with a gain of about 1%. That offered stocks some relief from the 4% loss that they had suffered during the course of last week's trade. Buying didn't last long, though.

Despite their encouraging start, support for stocks started to wane within the first 30 minutes of trade. Sellers' efforts intensified with the release of the latest ISM Index, which mad a surprisingly sharp drop to 50.9 for July from 55.3 for the prior month. Aggressive selling in the wake of the report has the S&P 500 down about 1% and beneath its 200-day moving average for the first time in more than nine months.

Health care stocks have been hit the hardest this session. Pricing pressure on health care related services has been an ongoing threat. That said, managed care plays have been among the sector's poorest performers, even though Humana (HUM 71.80, -2.78) actually posted an upside earnings surprise for its latest quarter.

Telecom and utilities have held up relatively well in the face of broad market selling pressure. Telecom stocks are up 0.3% as a group, while utilities have limited their loss to only a fractional slide.

The dollar is in strong shape after it lagged a collection of competing currencies earlier this morning. It currently leads that collection by 0.8% after it had sported a 1% gain just an hour ago. DJ30 -91.50 NASDAQ -30.96 SP500 -12.81 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 888/1.20 bln/1645 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1209/528 mln/1796

12:30 pm : Broad-based selling has left the stock market to slide to a new session low. It had been up 1% this morning, but now it is down with a 1% loss. The change in tone comes as traders look past the progress of debt deal talks to refocus their attention on the tenuous state of the U.S. economy. The shift in focus comes after the latest ISM Manufacturing Index showed its slowest monthly growth in about two years.DJ30 -116.10 NASDAQ -31.85 SP500 -14.39 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 960/1.10 bln/1577 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1273/485 mln/1728

12:00 pm : There isn't a single sector in positive territory. That comes in complete contrast to the action of the early going, when all 10 sectors were in higher ground and half of them traded with gains of almost 1% or more.

Health care stocks continue to represent the poorest performing sector. Collectively, health care stocks are down 2.6%. Managed care plays are weigheing most heavily on the health care space. Shares of UnitedHealth (UNH 46.38, -3.25), Aetna (AET 39.67, -1.82), and CIGNA (CI 47.47, -2.30) are all down sharply in the wake of the latest report from Humana (HUM 71.10, -3.48), which actually posted an upside earnings surprise. Much like the rest of the market, shares of HUM were actually up nicely in early action. DJ30 -133.09 NASDAQ -33.85 SP500 -15.71 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 929/995 mln/1581 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1259/440 mln/1725

11:30 am : Stocks are sitting at session lows with sizable losses. Soured sentiment has stoked buying interest in Treasuries, such that the yield on the benchmark 10-year Note is now down below 2.75%, which makes for its lowest level since November. Just one week ago the yield on the 10-year Note had been above 3.00%.DJ30 -77.99 NASDAQ -18.38 SP500 -10.07 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1094/823 mln/1394 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1493/360 mln/1476

11:00 am : The stock market had sported a 1% gain in the first few minutes of trade, but it is now in the red with a sizable loss. The reversal came after early buying interest began to wane and then participants received a disappointing ISM Manufacturing reading.

The stock market's downturn has coincided with a rally by the dollar. The greenback had trailed a basket of competing currencies in the early going, but it has since swung up to a 1.0% gain.

Despite the dollar's upturn, gold has managed to pare its loss. In turn, the yellow metal is now essentially unchanged at $1630 per ounce. That's about $10 above the levels that it probed just two hours ago.DJ30 -77.27 NASDAQ -15.96 SP500 -9.37 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1148/645 mln/1303 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1483/290 mln/1466

10:35 am : Commodities pulled back following the ISM data, which fell far short of expectations, and most have consolidated since. Energy markets and ag commodities are showing gains this morning, while metals are weak.

Crude oil futures have been in positive territory all morning, but have pulled back sharply from its session highs of $98.61/barrel, which were hit when equity markets opened. Currently, crude is up 0.3% at $95.98/barrel. Natural gas futures are up 1.2% at $4.19/MMBtu.

Gold and silver have been in the red all morning. Both precious metals rallied when equity markets opened off of session lows, but gold and silver still remained in negative territory. In current trade, gold is down 0.3% at $1626.60/oz and silver is 1.2% lower at $39.65/oz.DJ30 -40.64 NASDAQ -8.35 SP500 -5.35 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1257/598 mln/1175 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1616/282 mln/1283

10:00 am : Stocks have extended their slide off of their opening highs. The downturn has already more than halved the stock market's initial gains. Momentum to the downside is quickly increasing as participants react to news that the ISM Index for July fell to 50.9 from 55.3 in the prior month. It had been expected to come in at 54.0, based on the consensus estimate produced by economists polled by Briefing.com.

Health care stocks, now down 0.3%, remain the poorest performers. In fact, the sector is the only one in negative territory. Humana (HUM 75.01, +0.43), which posted an upside earnings surprise for the latest quarter, has managed to put together a solid gain, though. DJ30 +50.18 NASDAQ +11.49 SP500 +4.25 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1647/152 mln/704 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2130/91 mln/736

09:45 am : The major equity averages opened the session sharply higher, but they have begun to drift off of that mark. Still, overall gains remain strong.

Support for stocks has been generally broad based, but materials (+1.1%), industrials (+0.9%), tech (+0.9%), and energy (+0.9%) make up the top performing sectors. Health care stocks, collectively up 0.3%, are relative laggards.

The dollar has ticked higher in recent trade. It had trailed a collection of competing currencies by a modest margin earlier this morning, but it was most recently quoted with a 0.2% gain. DJ30 +83.67 NASDAQ +23.53 SP500 +8.77

09:15 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +13.40. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +24.20. Although a final vote still has to be made and debt rating agencies have yet to weigh in, news that legislative leaders have agreed on a debt deal has spurred stock futures higher ahead of the open. As things currently stand, the cash market is expected to start the week with a 1% gain. Still, that would only recover a portion of the 4% loss that was suffered during the course of last week. Corporate news flow has been less consequential to broad market participants this morning, mostly because there have been only a limited number of reports to assess and many of the companies are considered second tier among investors. Still to come, though, are the latest ISM Manufacturing Index and monthly construction spending numbers. Both will be posted at 10:00 AM ET.

09:05 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +13.80. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +25.70. Oil prices have extended their morning climb into the first few minutes of pit trade. The energy component now trades with a 2.0% gain at $97.55 per barrel. Natural gas prices are up an impressive 1.2% to $4.20 per MMBtu. Precious metals have moved in the opposite direction. As such, gold prices are down 0.7% to $1620.50 per ounce while silver was last quoted with a 2.0% loss at $39.30 per ounce. Generally, strength among energy-related commodities have helped take the CRB Commodity Index to a 0.8% gain.

08:30 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +16.30. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +28.70. Overseas markets have been helped higher by a positive response to news that U.S. leaders are closer to a debt deal. Specific to Europe, the positive tone has taken the EuroStoxx 50 up 0.5%. The final July reading for the eurozone PMI Manufacturing Index stayed at 50.5. Meanwhile, the eurozone's unemployment rate for June remained at 9.9% from the prior month. Germany's DAX is up 0.5%. Linde AG is leading the way with a 5.0% gain. Meanwhile, Deutsche Telekom and Adidas are lagging. Germany's PMI Manufacturing Index for July came in at 52.0, which is slightly less than the 52.1 that was posted in the preliminary reading. Broad-based buying has helped France's CAC climb to a 0.5% gain. Air Liquide is a leading issue while Veolia Environnement SA tops a short list of laggards. France's PMI Manufacturing reading inched up to 50.5 from the 50.1 that was posted in the preliminary reading. Britain's FTSE has also benefited from broad-based buying, which has taken the Index to a 1.4% gain. Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and Lloyds Group (LYG) are on the short list of losing issues, but HSBC (HBC) is a top performer following its latest quarterly report.

Action in Asia took Japan's Nikkei to a 1.3% gain. Oki Electric was the top performing play; it spiked almost 8%. Furukawa, Tokyo Electric, Ebara Corp, and Toto Ltd. all scored gains in excess of 5%, too. Both Hong Kong's Hang Seng and mainland China's Shanghai Composite closed with 1.0% gains. China's PMI Manufacturing Index for July dipped to 50.7 from 50.9 in June.

08:00 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +16.30. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +26.20. News that leaders of the House and Senate have reached an agreement on raising the debt ceiling so as to avoid a default by the U.S. has stoked premarket buying interest. In turn, stock futures suggest that the cash market will open sharply higher, after sliding about 4% during the course of action last week. The news hasn't done much for the dollar, though; it was last quoted with a 0.1% loss against a basket of major foreign currencies. Meanwhile, gold prices are down 0.6% to $1621 per ounce, but crude oil prices are presently up by 1.0% to $96.70 per barrel in electronic trade. Treasuries have benefited from a modest bid, such that the yield on the benchmark 10-year Note is now at 2.78%, which lines up with its lowest level since November. There aren't any economic releases until 10:00 AM ET, when the latest ISM Manufacturing Index and monthly construction spending figures will be posted. As for the latest lot of earnings announcements, Loews Corp (L) came short of the consensus earnings estimate, but both Allstate (ALL) and Humana (HUM) posted big beats.

07:06 am : [BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: +19.40. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +33.50.

07:05 am : Nikkei...9965.01...+132.00...+1.30%. Hang Seng...22663.37...+223.10...+1.00%.

07:05 am : FTSE...5892.66...+77.50...+1.30%. DAX...7212.70...+53.90...+0.80%.
