Image Market Summaries

The below summaries by Bloomberg, CNNMoney and Yahoo! Finance helps me to do a quick review of the fundamentals, FED/ECB/IMF actions or any important global economic events 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 results in swing points and strong continuation price actions. 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. Just as important, these summaries becomes my archives to allow me to understand what was happening on any given trading day in the past...something I can not get from my broker statements alone.

Aug. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Bloomberg's Deborah Kostroun reports on the performance of the U.S. equity market today. U.S. stocks advanced, preventing the longest Dow Jones Industrial Average slump since 1978, amid speculation the Federal Reserve may consider another economic stimulus program to prevent a recession.

By Ken Sweet, contributing writer August 3, 2011: 5:05 PM ET

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- After trading sharply lower most of the day, stocks slowly climbed back to end Wednesday's session modestly positive, ending an eight-day losing streak for the Dow.

The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) rose 30 points, or 0.3%, to close at 11,896. The S&P 500 (SPX) gained 6 points, or 0.5%, to 1,260; and the Nasdaq Composite (COMP) added 24 points, or 0.9%, to 2,693.

It was a big comeback for the market, where the Dow had been down as much as 166 points earlier in the session. Investors found some solace in upbeat comments from Fed governors Donald Kohn, Vincent Reinhart and Brian Madigan, who told the Wall Street Journal that the Fed may consider another round of stimulus.

"It looks like all bets are back on that we will get some form of additional stimulus, possibility a QE3," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economy with Rockwell Global Capital.

U.S. stocks plunged on Tuesday as fears about the weak U.S. economy were fueled by another disappointing economic report.

"It's been this accumulation of bad economic data -- durable goods, last week's Beige Book commentary, Monday's ISM data -- that continues to force people to sell stocks," James said.

Even with Wednesday's modest gains, investors are still seeking safety in the traditional safe havens of bonds and gold. The yield on the 10-year Treasury note hit 2.6% -- its lowest level since early November.

Gold prices, meanwhile, surged to a fresh intraday record high of $1,675.90 an ounce, before backing off to $1,672.50. Oil dropped $1.86, or nearly 2%, to close at $91.93 a barrel.

Economy: The number of planned job cuts surged to a 16-month high in July -- rising 60% to 66,414 from June's 41,432, according to outplacement consulting firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

The ADP private employment report presented a more positive picture of the job market. The payroll processing firm said the private sector gained 114,000 jobs in July, beating expectations that the private sector would have hired 100,000 workers in July.

All of that came ahead of Friday's report, which is expected to show that the U.S. economy created 75,000 jobs in July, according to a consensus of 16 economists surveyed by CNNMoney.

In June, the economy added a paltry 18,000 jobs. The unemployment rate is expected to hold steady at 9.2%.

In other economic data, the Institute for Supply Management's service sector index fell to a reading of 52.7 -- worse than the 53.7 reading that economists had hoped for, but still indicating expansion in the sector. In addition, the Commerce Department said June factory orders fell 0.8%, which was slightly better than the 1% decline expected by economists.

"You've seen economic number after number come in weaker than expected -- and that's much more to blame for the recent sell-off than the Washington debt ceiling drama," said Michael James, senior equity trader at Wedbush Morgan Securities.

America's Debt Crisis: Investors remain cautious as questions about the economic recovery and the United States' pristine credit rating linger.

Fitch Ratings and Moody's Investors Services confirmed the nation's AAA status Tuesday, following a resolution to raise the debt ceiling and cut fiscal spending. But Standard & Poor's has not yet weighed in on the country's debt rating, after putting it on negative watch last month.

* Does a downgrade even matter?

Companies: Time Warner (TWX, Fortune 500), the media company and parent to CNNMoney, beat earnings expectations. Shares fell more than 1%.Time Warner reported net income of $638 million, or 59 cents per share, and revenue of $7 billion. The media company was expected to report a profit of 56 cents per share and revenue of $6.8 billion.

Dunkin' Brands (DNKN) reported its first earnings since going public last week. The parent of the Dunkin' Donuts chain reported that global sales jumped 7% in the second quarter, compared to the year-earlier quarter, while same-store sales in the United States edged up about 3%.

But the growth in sales failed to lift profits. Net income was practically unchanged at $17.2 million for the quarter. The company's stock slid about 4%.

Shares of Open Table (OPEN) dropped 5.5% after the online provider of restaurant reservations disappointed investors by missing sales estimates.

MasterCard (MA, Fortune 500) shares jumped 13% after the company posted a 33% increase in quarterly profits well ahead of analysts' expectations.

World markets: Fears about a slowing global economy triggered losses in world markets.

European stocks closed broadly lower. Britain's FTSE 100 tumbled 2.3%, the DAX in Germany fell 2.3% and France's CAC 40 decreased 2%.

Asian markets ended in the red. The Shanghai Composite slipped 0.3%, the Hang Seng in Hong Kong dropped 1.9% and Japan's Nikkei tumbled 2.1%.

Currencies: The dollar was lower against the euro, the Japanese yen and British pound.

4:30 pm : A midmorning drop of more than 1% threatened to give the stock market its eighth straight loss before buyers began to bid stocks higher in afternoon action.

Listlessness among stocks during early trade caused the S&P 500 to roll over to a new 2011 low. From its 10-day high to this session's low, the S&P 500 was down more than 8%.

Data didn't do anything to stop sellers from applying more pressure, even though the July ADP Employment Change showed that private payrolls increased by 114,000, which is greater than the increase of 100,000 that had been widely expected. The July ISM Services Index was expected to improve to 53.7, but instead it slipped to 52.7 from 53.3 in the prior month. Factory orders for June fell by 0.8%, which is less steep than the 1.0% decline that had been broadly anticipated.

Selling pressure in recent sessions has led to several technical breakdowns, but stocks were able to secure support at the 38% retracement level of the surge that spanned from July 2010 to May 2011. Support at that point helped trigger a rebound that many traders began to chase.

Although it initially encountered some resistance, the Nasdaq had an easier time turning higher, mostly because tech stocks began to provide leadership. Tech stocks collectively climbed 1.2%. Many consider MasterCard (MA 338.47, +39.98) to be a financial play, but the stock was actually a top performer in the tech sector. Its surge to a new record high came after the company posted an impressive quarterly report. There was a barrage of other earnings reports, most of which were better than expected, but none had any real impact on broad market trade.

As a group, energy stocks suffered a 0.6% loss, which made them the worst performers of the day. Weakness in the space came as oil prices fell almost 2% to close pit trade slightly below $92 per barrel. While weekly inventory data showed a slightly smaller-than-expected build, macro concerns continue to weigh on the price of oil. Oil has actually closed lower in five of the past six sessions.

An interest in safety sent gold futures higher by 1.3% to settle pit trade at $1665.70 per ounce, while silver soared 3.9% to close at $41.69 per ounce. Gold actually registered an all-time high of $1675.90 per ounce in overnight trade. Silver set a multi-month high of $42.06 per ounce.

A weaker dollar made it easier for precious metals to push higher. The dollar ended the day with a 0.7% loss against a collection of competing currencies. The dollar's downturn was partly attributable to efforts by the Swiss National Bank to weaken the franc.

Share volume on the NYSE cleared 1 billion for the fourth straight session. That marks a sharp pick up in participation over the paltry volume levels seen on the Big Board during recent months.

Advancing Sectors: Tech +1.2%, Telecom +1.0%, Industrials +0.8%, Consumer Discretionary +0.7%, Consumer Staples +0.6%, Financials +0.5%, Materials +0.4%, Health Care +0.1%
Declining Sectors: Utilities -0.1%, Energy -0.6%DJ30 +29.82 NASDAQ +23.83 NQ100 +0.9% R2K +0.8% SP400 +0.5% SP500 +6.29 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1519/2.61 bln/1034 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1743/1.35 bln/1262

3:30 pm : The flight to safety in precious metals continued as more poor economic data and continued concerns about macro conditions in Europe hammered other asset classes. December gold futures finished higher by 1.3% at $1665.70 per ounce, while September silver gained 3.9% to end at $41.69 per ounce. Gold futures rallied in overnight trade to an all-time high of $1675.90 per ounce. The remainder of trade was spent in a range just shy of that level. Silver futures traded to session highs of $42.06 in mid-morning trade, but pulled back from those levels as the close approached.

Crude oil in the September contract closed at $91.93 per barrel, its worst closing price in over a month, for a 1.9% loss. Inventory data showed a modestly smaller-than-expected build in crude oil, but a sizeable build in gasoline inventories. Still, macro concerns remained the primary driver of action around the energy component, driving crude oil prices lower for the fifth time in six sessions. September natural gas ended lower by 1.6% at $4.09 per MMBtu. Futures sold off sharply following the open of pit trade then extended that sell-off into afternoon trade, notching lows at $4.07, before recouping some losses into the close. DJ30 +27.92 NASDAQ +23.78 SP500 +5.33 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1436/2.09 bln/1116 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1586/962 mln/1409

3:00 pm : The S&P 500 enters the final hour of the session sitting at the flat line. A slip into negative territory would risk the eighth straight loss for the stock market. During the course of the past seven sessions, stocks surrendered almost 7%.

The weakness of the past week has ushered in considerable trading volume. In fact, with nearly 900 million shares having already been traded on the NYSE today, it is almost certain that total share volume on the Big Board will eclipse 1 billion for the fourth straight session. The heightened participation comes after many investors had remained on the sidelines for several months. DJ30 -21.31 NASDAQ +15.39 SP500 +0.65 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1374/1.95 bln/1162 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1419/892 mln/1577

2:30 pm : Failure to sustain support has left the stock market to slip back into negative territory. Despite that, retailers are staying strong. In turn, the SPDR S&P Retail ETF (XRT 51.39, +0.55) is up more than 1%. Its strength precedes a big batch of same-store sales results, which are scheduled for release tomorrow.

Among the more widely watched names, Gap (GPS 18.94, +0.16), Kohl's (KSS 51.75, -0.73), JC Penney (JCP 30.42, +0.14), and Limited (LTD 35.57, -0.20) will be reporting. Teen retailers Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF 69.51, -0.26), Aeropostale (ARO 16.39, +0.31), and American Eagle Outfitters (AEO 12.85, +0.17) are no longer making monthly announcements. DJ30 -35.50 NASDAQ +9.95 SP500 -1.44 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1305/1.80 bln/1224 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1293/815 mln/1708

2:00 pm : After being rebuffed on a few separate occasions, the Nasdaq has not only moved back into positive territory, but it has also set a new session high. The S&P 500 has also moved into higher ground, but it is wavering as it attempts to stabilize in positive territory.

Tech has been a primary driver of the market's upturn. Tech stocks, which collectively represent the largest sector in the S&P 500, are up 0.8% to their best level of the day.

Treasuries have turned lower in response to the stock market's improved position. In fact, the benchmark 10-year Note is now in negative territory. That has put its yield back above 2.60%. DJ30 -13.85 NASDAQ +12.52 SP500 +0.30 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1363/645 mln/1165 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1364/400 mln/1633

1:30 pm : Overall action remains choppy and listless. That has left the Dow and S&P 500 to remain mired in negative territory. Meanwhile, the Nasdaq continues to repeatedly fight its way back to the flat line. The tech-rich Index has yet to put together anything more than an incremental gain in afternoon trade.DJ30 -64.49 NASDAQ -1.78 SP500 -5.97 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1100/939 mln/1415 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1013/520 mln/1969

1:00 pm : Stocks had appeared to garner support ahead of the open, but once trade began the path of least resistance led the major averages back into the red. Although stocks have worked their way up from session lows, the S&P 500 remains on pace for its eighth straight loss.

The market's movement in recent sessions has been mostly driven by conerns about the economy, but there wasn't much of a reaction to the latest dose of data. The July ADP Employment Change showed an increase in private payrolls by 114,000, which is greater than what had been widely anticipated. However, the ISM Services Index fell unexpectedly to 52.7 from 53.3 in the prior month. Factory orders fell by 0.8%.

Earnings have also had little impact on overall trade, but a better-than-expected quarterly report from MasterCard (MA 324.62, +26.13) has helped the company's shares spike to a record high in the face of broad market weakness.

Unable to free itself from persistent selling pressure, the broad market is down markedly and on pace for its eight straight loss. The slide has left the S&P 500 to trade at a new 2011 low.

Ongoing weakness among stocks continues to spur support for traditional safe havens like Treasuries and precious metals. As such, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Note has dropped to a new nine-month low beneath 2.60%. Meanwhile, gold prices set a new record high above $1675 per ounce and silver set a new three-month high above $41 per ounce. DJ30 -93.70 NASDAQ -9.83 SP500 -9.00 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 950/902 mln/1544 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 844/500 mln/2123

12:30 pm : Renewed selling pressure has sent the Nasdaq back into the red. Still, its loss isn't as steep as that of either the Dow or the S&P 500.

With stocks unable to fight off sellers, Treasuries continue to attract buying interest. In turn, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Note is down to 2.58%. It had actually approached 2.55% earlier today. That made for a new nine-month low. DJ30 -123.94 NASDAQ -15.23 SP500 -11.77 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 883/817 mln/1606 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 749/455 mln/2210

12:00 pm : The Nasdaq is now at the neutral line after encountering some resistance earlier. Tech stocks have provided it with support.

As a group, tech stocks are up 0.3%. That makes them the best performing sector. MasterCard (MA 323.90, +25.42) is a top performer in the sector, thanks to a strong quarterly report. That has helped prop up Visa (V 85.40, +1.84) shares, too.

Energy stocks are having a hard time finding support, though. The sector is presently down 1.7%, which makes it the worst performing sector. Marathon Oil (MRO 27.03, -2.09) shares have been hit especially hard, causing the stock to extend its prior session slide, which came amid a confluence of broad market weakness and a disappointing quarterly report. DJ30 -71.90 NASDAQ -2.56 SP500 -5.46 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1154/700 mln/1311 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 997/370 mln/1940

11:30 am : Stocks have extended their rebound. So far, only the Nasdaq has been able to come within reach of the neutral line, but resistance there has kept it in negative territory with its counterparts.

The stock market's bounce comes after support was offered to the S&P 500 at the 38% retracement level of the surge that spanned from July 2010 to May 2011. This is the same retracement level that provided support following the 2009 to 2010 surge.

With U.S. stocks rebounding, Europe's major bourses have been able to work their way up from session lows as they approach the close of their trading day. Still, widespread weakness across that continent has the EuroStoxx 50 down 1.9%. DJ30 -64.30 NASDAQ -6.58 SP500 -6.02 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1066/694 mln/1393 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 931/330 mln/1996

11:00 am : After failing to put together any kind of upward push in early trade, stocks took the path of least resistance by dropping into the red to extend the prior session's sell-off. The drop took the stock market down more than 1% to a new 2011 low.

However, stocks have started to rebound from the depths of their intraday lows. Although they remain in the red, stocks have managed to slash their losses in half. The recent bounce hasn't been the result of any particular headline, but it has come amid renewed support for the many sectors that make up the S&P 500. DJ30 -75.50 NASDAQ -17.44 SP500 -8.74 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 860/630 mln/1556 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 742/290 mln/2170

10:30 am : The dollar index remains near session lows this morning, of around 73.95, however, this is not providing price support to the commodity complex.

Crude oil futures have been in the red all morning and extended those losses about 10 minutes after pit trading began by dropping ~$1/barrel to new session lows of $92.43/barrel. Crude was still trading right near this level just ahead of inventory data figures. Following the data, which showed a build of 0.95 million versus consensus which called for a build of 1.5 million barrels, crude extended losses to new session lows of $92.10/barrel and is now down 1.9% at $92.05/barrel.

Natural gas on the other hand has chopped around the unchanged line for the majority of morning trade and is now 0.1% higher at $4.16/MMBtu.

Gold rose to new all-time highs of $1675.90/oz (continuous contract) earlier this morning and has been in positive territory all session. Silver is showing significant gains this morning and is currently near session highs, now up 4.3% at $41.81/oz. Gold is up 1.8% at $1673.10/oz.DJ30 -55.63 NASDAQ -19.26 SP500 -7.78 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 824/516 mln/1565 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 790/239 mln/2045

10:00 am : Each of the three major equity averages recently slipped into negative territory, but pressure has abated. Still, overall action remains choppy.

The stock averages have had a mixed reaction to the latest dose of data, which featured the July ISM Services Index and June factory orders figures.

The ISM slipped to 52.7 from 53.3 in the prior month. Economists polled by Briefing.com had expected, on average, that it would improve to 53.7.

As for factory orders, they fell by 0.8%, which is less steep than the 1.0% decline that had been broadly anticipated. DJ30 -5.68 NASDAQ +1.85 SP500 -0.69 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1160/160 mln/1109 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1175/80 mln/1626

09:45 am : Despite the moderately positive tone to premarket trade, stocks are looking listless in the early going. In turn, the major equity averages are mired near the neutral line.

Of the major sectors, materials are in the best shape. The sector currently leads the others as it moves along with a tepid 0.2% gain. Amid gold's advance to a new record high, Newmont Mining (NEM 56.85, +0.72) is a leader. Meanwhile, utilities are down 0.5%, which makes them the worst performing sector. They are being dragged down by ONEOK (OKE 70.40, -1.10), which reported an earnings miss after the prior session's close. DJ30 -32.32 NASDAQ -3.30 SP500 -2.90 NASDAQ Adv/Dec 1080/1084 NYSE Adv/Dec 1031/1696

09:15 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +2.70. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +7.50. Stock futures point to a positive start for today's trade. The uptick comes after the stock market suffered seven straight losses for a cumulative decline of almost 7%. Relief buying has been supported somewhat by a better-than-expected ADP Employment Change, which portends a positive reading of the official payrolls report on Friday. Still to come, though, are the latest readings on the ISM non-Manufacturing Index and factory orders figures. They are due at 10:00 AM ET.

Even though the mood among premarket participants is improved, precious metals continue to attract plenty of buyers. Gold's spike to a new record high above $1670 per ounce and silver's surge past $41 per ounce has been helped along by the dollar's downturn today. The Dollar Index is currently down 0.7%, partly in response to efforts by the Swiss National Bank to weaken the franc.

Although quarterly announcements continue to come in droves, there haven't been any bellwethers or market movers in the bunch. In turn, earnings reports have had little impact on action ahead of the open.

09:05 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +3.70. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +8.20. Gold prices have eased back a bit in recent trade. The yellow metal was most recently quoted with a 1.4% gain at $1667.60 per ounce after it had set a new record high above $1670 per ounce earlier this morning. Meanwhile, silver is boasting a 2.6% gain as it trades at $41.12 per ounce. Overnight continuous contract prices had been up around $41.25 per ounce for a new three-month high. Oil prices are under modest pressure. The energy component was quoted with a 0.2% loss at $93.58 per barrel in its first few minutes of pit trade. Early morning electronic trade actually took oil prices below $93 per barrel. Weekly inventory data are due at 10:30 AM ET. As for natural gas, prices are unchanged at $4.16 per MMbtu.

08:30 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +2.80. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +6.70. Stock futures have made an incremental move higher following news that the ADP Employment Change suggests that private payrolls increased by 114,000 during July. That is greater than the increase of 100,000 that had been anticipated, on average, among economists surveyed by Briefing.com. However, the ADP Change for June was revised downward to reflect an increase of 145,000, instead of the increase of 157,000 that had been reported previously. Still on the economic calendar are the latest ISM non-Manufacturing Index and factory orders figures, both of which are due at 10:00 AM ET.

08:00 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +2.30. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +5.00. Stocks are finally getting some relief after the S&P 500 fell in each of the past seven sessions for a cumulative loss of almost 7%. Not only was the prior session's 2.6% loss the worst one-day drop in almost one year, it also left the stock market to settle at its lowest level since March.

But after all of that bloodletting, buyers are showing tentative signs of interest. In turn, stock futures suggest that the cash market will open with a modest gain. Of course, sentiment could sour if the ADP Employment Change, due at 8:15 AM ET, disappoints, especially since so much of the selling interest of recent sessions has come in response to rekindled concerns about economic activity. Also on the economic calendar are the latest ISM non-Manufacturing Index and Factory Orders figures, both of which are due at 10:00 AM ET.

Despite early signs of support for stocks, precious metals prices continue to push higher. Gold has extended its climb by another 1.6% to clear $1670 per ounce for a new record. Silver is up an even headier 2.6% to $41.15 per ounce.

Meanwhile, the dollar is down about 0.6% against a basket of major foreign currencies.

Treasuries have also encountered some selling pressure. As a result, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Note has eased up a couple of basis points to 2.63%.

06:56 am : [BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: +5.20. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +11.50.

06:56 am : Nikkei...9637.14...-207.50...-2.10%. Hang Seng...21992.72...-428.70...-1.90%.

06:56 am : FTSE...5670.17...-48.20...-0.80%. DAX...6745.32...-51.40...-0.80%.
