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.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Nasdaq couldn't shake the software blues.

The Dow and S&P 500 ended the day barely in positive territory, after falling nearly 1% on fears over the health of European banks and worse-than-expected readings on the housing market continued to trouble the markets.

The Nasdaq trimmed some of the day's losses, but closed down 1% after most software stocks dropped dramatically following Oracle's surprisingly weak quarterly earnings released Tuesday night.

Earlier in the day a report on November's existing home sales came in well below analysts' forecasts also stoked fear among investors.

"You take housing data and add Oracle's earnings miss to it, and it's all sobering," said Sal Arnuk, head of trading at Themis Trading.

* Foreclosure sales still pummeling home prices

The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) closed up 4 points, or 0.03%; while the S&P 500 (SPX) added 2 points, or 0.2%.

The Nasdaq (COMP) lost 26 points, or 1%, as software makers pulled down the index. Oracle was the biggest drag on the index with shares dropping 12% on negative earnings. Competitors including Fortinet (FTNT), TIBCO Software (TIBX), and Teradata (TDC) dropped between 5.5% and 7%.

After a 23% rally Tuesday on stable earnings, investment bank Jefferies (JEF) received a downgrade from the Meredith Whitney Advisory Group. Its stock closed down 4%.

Bank of America (BAC, Fortune 500) shares ended the day up 1% after the Justice Department announced that a $335 million settlement with the bank Wednesday over the practices of failed mortgage lender Countrywide Financial. Bank of America acquired Countrywide in 2008.

After a bipolar week of trading for other bank stocks -- sharp losses Monday and then gains Tuesday -- Jefferies' competitors including Goldman Sachs (GS, Fortune 500), Morgan Stanley (MS, Fortune 500) and JPMorgan Chase (JPM, Fortune 500) ended the day up between 0.5% and 1.5%.

The market's midweek sobriety follows an upward swing of more than 300 points on Tuesday, as concerns about the European debt crisis eased, and investors welcomed signs of strength in the U.S. housing market.

Investors said it's difficult to read too much into this week's swings as trading is particularly light this time of year. "Volumes always go way down this time of year, and you start to see wild moves that don't make much sense," said Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist at Wells Capital Management.

Ahead of the opening bell Wednesday, markets in Europe and U.S. stock futures popped after the European Central Bank announced it had injected €489.19 billion ($643.18 billion) into the region's banks to address the eurozone debt crisis.

Investors initially read that €489.19 billion figure -- higher than an expected €300 billion -- as a positive, sending European markets up. But later, investors questioned whether the large sum actually means that European banks could be in more dire straits than initially expected.

* Latest news on Europe's debt crisis

The ECB announced a series of "non-standard" measures earlier this month, designed to boost liquidity for European banks struggling to secure funding in the wholesale market.

After the close of European markets Wednesday, Standard & Poors' lowered its rating on Hungary to BB+/B and put it on a negative outlook.

Companies: Shares of drugstore chain Walgreens (WAG, Fortune 500) dropped nearly 6% before ending the day down 0.4%. Its quarterly earnings missed analysts' expectations.

Used-car retailer CarMax (KMX, Fortune 500) shares declined 5.5%, after the company posted quarterly results before the bell that fell short of expectations -- with an earnings per share of 36 cents.

Currencies and commodities: The dollar gained strength against the euro and the Japanese yen, but fell against the British pound.

* Video - How low can the euro go?

Oil for January delivery added $1.66 to $98.91 a barrel.

Gold futures for February delivery fell $4.00 to $1,613.60 an ounce.

Bonds: The price on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury was little changed, with the yield holding steady at 1.92% from late Tuesday.

World markets: European stocks spiked on news of the ECB loan program, but then lost gains and closed Wednesday in negative territory. Britain's FTSE 100 (UKX) slipped 0.7%, while the DAX (DAX) in Germany shed 1.1% and France's CAC 40 (CAC40) edged lower 0.9%.

Asian markets ended mixed. The Shanghai Composite (SHCOMP) fell 1.1%, while the Hang Seng (HSI) in Hong Kong rose 1.9% and Japan's Nikkei (N225) gained 1.5%.

Market Update

4:15 pm : A gradual afternoon ascent helped the broad market slash its loss, but pronounced weakness among tech issues undermined the rebound effort. That left the major equity averages to settle with varied results.

Stocks were dragged down in the early going when participants responded to a reversal by Europe's major bourses, which failed to sustain gains that followed a bank borrowing report from the European Central Bank. Although the report suggested that the needs of banks have been more than adequately met, it also indicated that more firms were in need of funding. The euro was never able to fully overcome selling pressure; it was down 0.5% against the greenback by session's end.

Oracle (ORCL 25.77, -3.40) added to the pessimistic tone of early trade. The software outfit disappointed investors with weaker-than-expected revenue and earnings. The company's quarterly report was further tainted by a tepid outlook. The stock was able to resist efforts to take it to a new 52-week low and even got some relief in late afternoon trade, but the shares still suffered their worst single-session slide in years.

Many other tech stocks were weakened by Oracle's report, such that the overall sector sank to a 2.0% loss. Tech stocks, which make up the largest sector by market cap, weighed heavily on broad market trade. In fact, tech was the only sector in 10 that failed to finish in positive territory, but the S&P 500 still only managed to muster a narrow gain. Meanwhile, the tech-rich Nasdaq was never able to catch up with its counterparts.

Leadership was never clear, but energy stocks helped provide a broad market lift in afternoon trade. Collectively they scored a 1.2% gain with help from higher oil prices, which closed at $98.70 per barrel for a 1.5% gain following an unexpectedly large draw from weekly inventories.

While the broad market was mired in the red for most of the session utilities ascended 1.5%, notching a new 52-week high along the way. Even when excluding dividends utilities have been one of the best performing sectors of the year; they're up more than 13% year to date. Constellation Energy (CEG 39.45, +0.95) came into closer focus when the stock dove in response to headlines that its merger with Exelon (EXC 43.24, +0.91) could be blocked, but that rumor was later dispelled.

A better-than-expected bottom line and a solid future orders increase gave shares of Nike (NKE 96.23, +2.60) strong gains, but not enough to send the stock back to the record high that it had set earlier this month. The rest of the discretionary space mustered only a modest gain.

Data today was limited to November existing home sales numbers, which improved to an annualized rate of 4.42 million units from 4.25 million units, but that was still short of the 5.03 million unit rate that had been expected, on average, among economists polled by Briefing.com. Authorities also reported that sales from 2007 through 2010 were revised downward by 14%.

Advancing Sectors: Utilities +1.5%, Energy +1.2%, Consumer Staples +1.1%, Health Care +0.7%, Financials +0.6%, Telecom +0.4%, Materials +0.3%, Consumer Discretionary +0.3%, Industrials +0.2%
Declining Sectors: Tech -2.0%DJ30 +4.16 NASDAQ -25.76 NQ100 -1.4% R2K +0.2% SP400 +0.2% SP500 +2.42 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1255/1.85 bln/1298 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1852/820 mln/1169

3:30 pm : Crude oil settled higher by 1.5% at $98.70 per barrel. Futures spiked sharply on the back of this morning's inventory data, which showed a substantially larger-than-expected drawdown. Futures put in highs at $99.25, but quickly pulled back from those highs. They spent the remainder of trade slowly pushing back toward those levels. Natural gas finished up 0.9% at $3.16 per MMBtu. Futures spiked in late-morning trade, eventually putting in highs at $3.19. Prices fell from those highs however to close just above flat.

It was a quiet session for the precious metals. Gold futures ended lower by 0.1% at $1613.40 per ounce, while silver futures closed down 0.8% at $29.27 per ounce.DJ30 -7.53 NASDAQ -30.06 SP500 -1.80 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1141/1.5 bln/1408 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1711/538.8 mln/1323

3:00 pm : The broad market was able to regain its footing after a recent slip and has even managed to move up to its best level since this morning.

Share volume has been weak. More specifically, less than a half billion shares have traded hands on the NYSE today and only an hour remains before the toll of the closing bell. The apathy among traders is most likely due to the fact that many regular participants have taken off for holiday vacations. That theme will likely persist into next week. DJ30 -34.25 NASDAQ -38.60 SP500 -2.12 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 965/1.27 bln/1575 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1430/455 mln/1565

2:30 pm : Stocks have been fighting to slash their losses, but momentum behind the market's move higher stalled when the S&P 500 came in contact with the rebound highs that it set this morning. Stocks have wavered in the wake of that action.

Utilities have been on a tear today. The sector is up 1.2% and trading at a new 52-week high. Collectively, utilities stocks are now up more than 13% this year. That doesn't even include the hefty dividend yields offered by the sector. DJ30 -44.80 NASDAQ -45.40 SP500 -3.78 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 945/1.18 bln/1590 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1420/420 mln/1560

2:00 pm : The broad market is at its best level of the afternoon. Energy stocks have been a key source of support in its effort to trim its loss -- energy stocks are now up 0.7%. Energy-related issues continue to benefit from a bounce in oil prices, which are now up 1.7% to $98.90 per barrel following an unexpectedly large draw from weekly inventories.DJ30 -36.13 NASDAQ -41.26 SP500 -2.95 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 780/1.08 bln/1740 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1145/385 mln/1830

1:30 pm : The stock market's attempt to improve its position has lost momentum. Still, its success in reducing losses has put added pressure on Treasuries. Treasuries have also had a negative response to the latest auction of 7-year Notes. The auction drew a bid-to-cover ratio of 2.68 and an indirect bidder participation rate of 42.0%.DJ30 -65.05 NASDAQ -49.38 SP500 -6.26 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 770/990 mln/1745 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1155/355 mln/1780

1:00 pm : Sellers have kept stocks in the red since the open, but the major averages are now trying to trim their losses. That has left the broad market down only modestly on the day, but the tech-rich Nasdaq remains weak in the wake of a disappointing report from Oracle.

Market participants took their early cues from Europe's major bourses, which failed to sustain gains that followed a bank borrowing report from the European Central Bank that suggested the needs of lenders have been met more than adequately. Weakness was exacerbated by the tech sector, which has since dropped to a near 3% loss after software outfit Oracle (ORCL 25.22, -3.95) posted weaker-than-expected revenue and earnings, and also issued a tepid outlook. The stock has been able to secure support modestly above the 52-week low that it set in August.

With so many other tech stocks trading lower in sympathy the Nasdaq has had to wrestle with an outsized loss all session. Defensive-oriented plays like consumer staples stocks, which are collectively up 0.7%, have helped prop up the Dow and the S&P 500. Although up just 0.2%, energy plays have also been a source of support with oil prices trading with a 1.4% gain at $98.60 per barrel.

Nike (NKE 96.02, +2.39) hasn't done much for the discretionary space following its latest quarterly report, which featured an upside earnings surprise.

Limited in breadth, today's economic data has had little sway with traders. Participants basically brushed aside November existing home sales numbers that proved less than expected at an annualized rate of 4.42 million units. Data was also released that showed a 14% downward revisions to sales numbers recorded from 2007 through 2010. DJ30 -48.17 NASDAQ -47.69 SP500 -6.12 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 655/895 mln/1855 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 980/320 mln/1930

12:30 pm : Stocks continue to descend deeper into negative territory, but their losses have yet to offset the prior session's heady gains.

Even in the face of today's weakness Treasuries are trading lower, such that the yield on the benchmark 10-year Note is up narrowly to 1.94%. The pressure among Treasuries precedes results from the latest auction of 7-year Notes at 1:00 PM ET. DJ30 -101.57 NASDAQ -58.93 SP500 -11.79 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 675/800 mln/1800 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 945/290 mln/1955

12:00 pm : Utilities stocks have been performing relatively well in the face of today's weakness; the sector is currently up 0.4% Although today's gain may make for only a modest gain, the sector's 12% year-to-date gain is much more impressive, especially with the S&P 500 down almost 2% this year. The sector's exceptionally strong year-to-date performance is likely owed to the attractiveness of steady business models and relatively robust dividend yields when the broad market becomes challenged by tenuous economic and financial conditions.

Although many utilities stocks are displaying strength today, shares of Constellation Energy (CEG 35.70, -2.80) recently took a dramatic dive in response to headlines that the company's merger with Exelon (EXC 42.56, +0.23) could be blocked. DJ30 -73.34 NASDAQ -46.43 SP500 -7.35 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 700/712 mln/1760 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1040/255 mln/1850

11:30 am : All three major equity averages recently confirmed session lows. Although the tech sector is getting most of the attention today, due to pronounced weakness in that space, industrials and financials have also been wrestling with some selling pressure. In turn, financials have fallen to a 0.6% loss, while industrials trade 0.9% lower for the day.

Among financial plays, shares of investment banks and brokerage firms are in particularly weak shape. Insurers are more mixed. As for industrial issues, construction and engineering outfits are being backed down. Power equipment and generation makers are also suffering at the hands of sellers. DJ30 -67.36 NASDAQ -47.81 SP500 -8.14 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 630/590 mln/1765 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 955/220 mln/1920

11:00 am : Stocks have failed to sustain a recent rebound attempt. The ensuing reversal has taken the tech-rich Nasdaq to a new session low, but its counterparts aren't yet back to the depths that they set in the early going.

Technology stocks, which collectively represent the largest sector by market weight, continue to suffer from aggressive selling. As a group, tech stocks are down 2.6%, which is more than triple the loss of the next poorest performing sector (industrials, -0.7%). The sector's weakness stems from a precipitous drop by Oracle (ORCL 25.12, -4.05) following an ugly quarterly report from the software outfit. DJ30 -48.59 NASDAQ -42.34 SP500 -5.90 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 700/455 mln/1600 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1220/172 mln/1605

10:35 am : The dollar index pushed above the 80.00 mark this morning and hit a new session high of 80.07. The index pulled back quickly, however, which drove commodities higher. The CRB Index just hit a new session high of 302.47.

Crude oil moved into positive territory just ahead of the open of pit trading. At the open, crude rallied and almost hit the $98 mark. Just ahead of inventory, crude hit a new session high of $98.29/barrel. Following the data, which showed a draw of 10.6 mln versus consensus which called for a draw of 2.1 mln barrels, crude spiked to new session highs and is now up 1.8% at $99.00/barrel.

Natural gas is down 0.5% at $3.11/MMBtu, while heating oil, RBOB gasoline and brent crude are all in positive territory.

Metals are mixed this morning. Copper futures are up 2 cents at $3.39/lb. Gold is up 20 cents at $1618.10, while silver is down 0.3% at $29.45/oz.DJ30 -14.53 NASDAQ -33.32 SP500 -3.03 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 741/419 mln/1550 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1216/163 mln/1596

10:05 am : Pronounced weakness among tech stocks continues to weigh most heavily on the Nasdaq, leaving it to suffer an outsized loss relative to its counterparts.

Market participants haven't really had much of a reaction to the latest home sales data. Existing home sales for November hit an annualized rate of 4.42 million units, which is less than the rate 5.03 million units that had been expected, on average, among economists polled by Briefing.com. However, the pace set in November marked an increase from the rate of 4.25 million units logged during October.

The National Associate of Realtors also recently released downward revisions to historic existing home sales data. More specifically, sales numbers for 2007 through 2010 were revised downward by 14.3%. A minor impact on future revisions to GDP are expected. DJ30 -58.65 NASDAQ -41.05 SP500 -8.23 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 435/118 mln/1650 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 745/65 mln/1885

09:45 am : The major equity averages are down in the opening minutes of trade. The slide has been led by the tech sector, which is down 2.2% after Oracle (ORCL 25.30, -3.87) offered up a disappointing quarterly report that included tepid guidance. The stock's price is now about a half of a dollar above its 52-week low, which was set in August.

Defensive-oriented issues are displaying relative strength, however. Health care (+0.2%), telecom (+0.3%), consumer staples stocks (+0.4%), and utilities (+0.8%) are in the best shape this morning. DJ30 -48.89 NASDAQ -36.27 SP500 -7.06 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec NA/NA/NA NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec NA/NA/NA

09:15 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -0.40. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -13.80. Stock futures came under pressure as Europe's major bourses gave up early gains to trade with losses, but the tone has improved more recently. With so many participants taking their cues from Europe, it comes as little surprise that the uptick in domestic stock futures coincides with a rebound effort in Europe.

Although the region's major bourses have managed to trim losses, the euro continues to trade with a marked loss of about 0.5% against the greenback. The euro's decline today has put it at the flat line for the week, but down about 2.5% year to date.

Corporate news has been limited to a handful of announcements, including a disappointing quarterly report from Oracle (ORCL 25.79, -3.38) and better-than-expected earnings from Nike (NKE 95.40, +1.77). Note: all ticker quotes reflect premarket prices.

There hasn't been any economic data to trade on just yet, but participants will get their hands on the latest existing home sales numbers at 10:00 AM ET.

09:05 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +0.40. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -10.80. Commodities are mixed after making heady gains in the prior session. Specifically, oil prices are building on the prior session's advance, which exceeded 3%, by climbing another 0.7% to $97.93 per barrel ahead of the weekly oil inventory report at 10:30 AM ET. Natural gas prices are down 0.8% to $3.10 per MMBtu, offsetting the 0.6% gain that they booked in the prior session. Among precious metals, gold prices are up 0.2% to $1620 per ounce. That comes on top of the 1.3% gain that the yellow metal logged yesterday. Silver is presently off by 0.2% at $29.49 per ounce after it had scored a gain greater than 2% during yesterday's trade.

08:35 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -1.00. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -13.80. Europe's bourses retreated into the red after staging gains earlier, but the have managed to retrace part of that move in recent trade. Buying interest earlier had been bolstered by a report from the European Central Bank that essentially indicated bank borrowing needs are being met adequately. Germany's DAX has since dropped to a 0.4% loss. SAP AG (SAP 52.81, -2.92) has been the heaviest drag. The stock has been implicated by a disappointing report from rival Oracle (ORCL 26.32, -2.85). Infineon Tech is also under pronounced pressure. France's CAC has fallen to a 0.6% loss. Vallourec SA was recently the only name in the 40-member Index that managed to maintain a gain. Carrefour and Alcatel-Lucent (ALU 1.53, -0.05) continue to suffer some of the harshest selling pressure. Britain's FTSE has been pushed down to a 0.5% loss. Energy-related issues are among the heavier drags, but banking plays like Lloyds Group (LYG 1.53, +0.09) and Barclays (BCS 11.08, +0.18) are providing support.

Most of the major equity averages of Asia rallied overnight as they played catch-up with what was achieved on Wall Street yesterday. Specifically, Japan's Nikkei scored a 1.5% gain. Shinsei Bank, Sony Corp (SNE 17.31, +0.00), and Kubota (KUB 40.04, +0.00) were primary leaders. Declining issues were limited to only a dozen names. To little surprise, Olympus was among those that logged a loss. Hong Kong's Hang Seng put together a 1.9% gain. Several energy-related issues like PetroChina (PTR 119.77, +0.00) outperformed. Global banking giant HSBC (HBC 38.04, +0.03) also staged a strong jump. Mainland China's Shanghai Composite climbed to a strong gain, but completely reversed that move to log a 1.1% loss. Ping An Insurance was a primary source of weakness. Resource plays were also pressured.

Note: all ticker quotes reflect US premarket prices.

08:05 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -3.70. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -16.50. Stocks bounded to their best one-day gain of December yesterday, but broad market equity futures have been unable to sustain a follow through bid. Their pullback comes as Europe's major bourses drift lower after displaying strength following a bank borrowing report from the European Central Bank. The euro has also fallen under renewed selling pressure; it is currently down 0.5% against the greenback.

On the corporate front, Oracle (ORCL 26.19, -2.98) shares are gapping down as premarket participants respond to a disappointing quarterly report from the enterprise software firm. In contrast, shares of Nike (NKE 95.23, +1.60) are up solidly ahead of the open, thanks to a pleasing quarterly report that featured an upside earnings surprise. Note: all ticker quotes reflect premarket prices.

The economic calendar remains light, filled only by monthly existing home sales figures, which will be posted at 10:00 AM ET. Also on tap for today are weekly oil inventories at 10:30 AM ET and results from an auction of 7-year Notes at 1:00 PM ET.

06:30 am : [BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: +8.20. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +2.50.

06:30 am : Nikkei...8459.98...+123.50...+1.50%. Hang Seng...18416.45...+336.30...+1.90%.

06:30 am : FTSE...5450.68...+31.10...+0.60%. DAX...5890.80...+43.80...+0.80%.
