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.

Stocks Rise on Lower Borrowing Costs at Europe Auctions

Jan. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Bloomberg's Deborah Kostroun reports on the performance of the U.S. equity market today. U.S. stocks rose, sending the Standard & Poor's 500 Index higher for a fourth day, as a drop in borrowing costs at auctions in Europe overshadowed disappointing American jobless claims and retail sales data.

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Financial shares sparked a broad rally Wednesday that sent all three major indexes to fresh multi-year highs.

The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) added 83 points, or 0.7% to close at 11,755.44 -- its highest level since September 2008.

JPMorgan Chase (JPM, Fortune 500) was the Dow's biggest gainer, jumping more than 2%, followed by Bank of America (BAC, Fortune 500), American Express (AXP, Fortune 500) and Boeing (BA, Fortune 500).

Bank shares also got a lift Wednesday from Wells Fargo's upgraded outlook for the sector. "It's a group that lagged pretty badly in the fall, and they're still playing catch-up," said Timothy Ghriskey, CIO at Solaris Asset Management.

The S&P 500 (SPX) rose 11 points, or 0.9%, closing at 1,285.96 -- its highest level since August 2008.

The Nasdaq (COMP) gained 20 points, or 0.8%, ending the day at 2,737.33 -- a three-year high.

Europe continues to be a wild card as 2011 gets underway, so investors are looking for any signs that those issues are under control.

* How U.S., Portugal are alike

A rally in overseas markets spilled over to U.S. stocks early in the session as a solid auction of Portuguese bonds helped ease eurozone jitters.

"The bond offering went relatively decently for Portugal [and] that relieved the fears about a bailout." said John Wilson, Chief technical strategist at Morgan Keegan.

World markets: European stocks rose after Portugal's successful auction of government debt. The auction came amid recent speculation that Portugal might be the next eurozone country to need a bailout.

"They sold $1.249 billion at the auction, so basically money is costly but they are selling it, so that's a relief for the market," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Avalon Partners.. "Tomorrow is Spain's turn, and that auction shouldn't be a problem either, so the market is going to be moving higher on that as well."

Optimism about Thursday's upcoming bond auction in Spain lifted U.S.-listed shares of Spanish banking giant Banco Santander (STD), whose stock gained nearly 11%. Shares of rival bank Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria (BBVA) also rose about 11%.

The DAX in Germany ended the day up 1.8%, France's CAC 40 closed 2.2% higher, and Britain's FTSE 100 added 0.6%.

Asian markets also ended higher. The Shanghai Composite rose 0.6%, the Hang Seng in Hong Kong climbed 1.5% and Japan's Nikkei was barely above breakeven.

* The yuan problem isn't going away - The Buzz

Meanwhile, Bank of China is allowing customers in the United States to trade its currency, the yuan, for the first time.

Economy: Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner said China's policies are a growing source of concern in the United States and other countries. In a speech at Johns Hopkins, Geithner also said that China's undervalued currency and dependence on exports must be addressed. His remarks come ahead of next week's U.S. visit by Chinese President Hu Jintao.

* Video - Put Americans back to work

The Federal Reserve released its snapshot of economic activity for January Wednesday afternoon.

Known as the Beige Book, the report showed that the economy continued to grow moderately across the nation. Despite the lagging housing market, the Fed reported bright spots in manufacturing, retail, and non financial services sectors.

The December Treasury budget was also released Wednesday afternoon. The budget shortfall eased to $80 billion in December from $91.4 billion in the previous month.

Companies: AIG (AIG, Fortune 500) announced Wednesday that it has agreed to sell its Taiwan unit, Nan Shan Life Insurance Company, for $2.16 billion in cash. Shares of the insurer closed down 1.1%.

Shares of ITT (ITT, Fortune 500) ended the day up 16% after the manufacturing company announced plans to split into three publicly traded companies by spinning off its water-related businesses and defense division.
0:00 /00:54Lululemon gets a lift

A number of big names are hovering around 52-week highs Wednesday, including Exxon Mobil Corp. (XOM, Fortune 500), Chevron Corp. (CVX, Fortune 500), United Technologies Corp. (UTX, Fortune 500), and CNNMoney parent company Time Warner Inc. (TWX, Fortune 500)

Currencies and commodities: The dollar lost ground against the euro and the British pound, but gained slightly against the Japanese yen.

Oil for February delivery settled up 75 cents to $91.86 a barrel.

Gold for February ended the day up $1.50 to $1,385.80 an ounce.

Corn futures rose 3% Wednesday after the U.S. Department of Agriculture predicted corn supplies would fall to their lowest level since 1996.

The report is the latest sign of stretched food supplies at a time when growth in developing countries is fueling seemingly insatiable demand for agricultural goods.

Bonds: The price on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury fell, pushing the yield up to 3.35% from 3.34% late Tuesday.

Wednesday's $21 billion auction of 10-year notes was met with strong demand.

The bid-to-cover ratio of 3.3 means that there was more than $69 billion worth of demand for the $21 billion worth of debt.

Market Update

4:30 pm : Some disappointing data resulted in a shallow slide for stocks this morning, but the broad market staged a gradual recovery so that it settled with a modest gain. Stocks now enter Friday riding a week-to-date gain greater than 1%.

After a few days without any data of consequence participants anxiously awaited monthly retail sales numbers and the latest weekly initial jobless claims tally, but both came short of what had been widely expected. Specifically, retail sales during December increased 0.1%, while sales less autos actually fell 0.2%. Economists polled by Briefing.com had expected, on average, respective increases of 0.4% and 0.3%. Little attention was paid to the upward revisions of the prior month.

Initial weekly jobless claims mad an unexpected jump to 399,000 from 375,000, which is where many had expected them to remain. Continuing jobless claims climbed to 3.63 million from 3.61 in the prior week.

The data cast a pall over news that recent debt offerings from both Spain and Italy were successful, which initially helped drive Europe's bourses higher before sentiment was soured by cautious, although unsurprising, comments about downside risks to economic activity in the region from European Central Bank (ECB) President Draghi. Draghi's comments came in a press conference that followed the ECB's decision to keep its target interest rate at 1.00%. Also, the Bank of England opted to keep its interest rate at 0.5% and its asset purchase plan at 275 billion pounds.

The euro displayed resilience today. Selling undercut an early gain, but the currency rallied so that it was at $1.283, up 0.9%, by session's end.

As a consequence of the euro's rally, the dollar traded lower, but that failed to help energy prices. Natural gas fell another 2.5% to settle pit trade at a 28-month low of $2.70 per MMBtu, while oil futures settled pit trade with a 1.9% loss at a 2012 closing low of $99.07 per barrel.

Softer oil and gas prices weighed on the energy stocks all session. The sector settled with a 0.9% loss. In contrast, materials stocks staged a strong advance by scoring a 1.5% gain. While energy stocks made up the session's worst performing sector, materials were the best.

Financials faltered alongside the broad market in the early going, but were able to stage a gradual recovery. Banks were generally quiet ahead of the latest quarterly announcement from JPMorgan Chase (JPM 36.85, +0.19), which will set the bar for bank stocks when it reports tomorrow morning.

Although the broad market was basically without legitimate leadership for the second straight session, technical support played a part in today's advance. The stock market's early slide was stemmed when the S&P 500 tested the 1286 line, which was recently an area of resistance before the broad market measure gapped above it earlier this week.

Treasuries were quiet today, but there was a mild flurry of selling following results from an auction of 30-year Bonds. The auction drew a bid-to-cover of 2.60, dollar demand of $33.8 billion, and an indirect bidder participation rate of 31.9%. For comparison, an average of the previous six auctions results in a bid-to-cover of 2.69, dollar demand of $37.2 billion, and an indirect bidder rate of 29.8%.

Advancing Sectors: Materials +1.5%, Industrials +0.9%, Tech +0.4%, Financials +0.4%, Telecom +0.3%, Consumer Discretionary +0.3%, Health Care +0.2%
Declining Sectors: Consumer Staples -0.1%, Utilities -0.2%, Energy -0.9%DJ30 +21.57 NASDAQ +13.94 NQ100 +0.4% R2K +0.4% SP400 +0.2% SP500 +3.02 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1535/1.69 bln/967 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1838/770 mln/1151

3:30 pm : The CRB Index suffered a 1.2% loss today. A drop in energy prices weighed heavily.

Natural gas prices extended their downtrend by falling another 2.5% to settle pit trade at $2.70 per MMBtu, which makes for its lowest close in more than two years. Not even news of a greater-than-expected draw from inventories could help the energy component trade higher.

Oil prices were up this morning, but rolled over in afternoon trade. Oil futures settled pit trade with a 1.9% loss at $99.07 per barrel. That makes for its lowest close of 2012.

Precious metals saw some of their gains petered out, but still settled higher for the session. Specifically, gold gained 0.5% to end the day at $1648 per ounce, while silver scored a 0.8% gain by settling at $30.15 per ounce. DJ30 +15.59 NASDAQ +11.65 SP500 +2.14 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1440/1.32 bln/1060 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1760/505 mln/1240

3:00 pm : The Nasdaq just notched a new session high, but its gain remains only modest. Nonetheless, it is outperforming its counterparts for the second straight session.

Among Nasdaq constituents, shares of Fossil (FOSL 86.16, +6.79) are at the top of today's best performers by percent gained and are also among today's most actively traded names by volume. The breakout today has taken the stock back to the one-month high that it set in late December. DJ30 +12.15 NASDAQ +12.38 SP500 +2.08 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1400/1.18 bln/1100 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1700/455 mln/1290

2:30 pm : Broad market trade remains lackluster, but materials stocks continue to outperform. The sector's 1.2% gain is about triple that of the telecom sector, which is the next best performing sector of the session.

Energy stocks have been unable to garner buying interest for two straight sessions. In addition to the sector's 1.3% decline yesterday, energy plays are collectively down another 1.0% today. Energy stocks have been hurt by softer energy prices -- natural gas prices have been in a downtrend for some time and oil prices have completely given up a sizable early gain so that they are now down nearly 2% at $99.10 per barrel. DJ30 -6.69 NASDAQ +7.85 SP500 -0.02 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1305/1.10 bln/1175 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1575/430 mln/1380

2:00 pm : The broad market continues to dance along the neutral line. An absence of legitimate leadership has left it mired there for about an hour.

The stock market's lack of strength comes in the face of a resurgent euro, which is sporting a 0.9% gain at $1.283 and is on pace for a weekly gain of nearly 1%. Strength in the euro is often regarded by many market participants as a barometer of improved sentiment in Europe.

The euro's strength comes in the face of cautious comments regarding downside risk to economic activity from European Central Bank President Draghi, who held a press conference this morning in a follow up to the ECB's decision to leave its benchmark lending rate at 1.00%. Neither the rate decision nor the cautious comments should have come as a surprise. DJ30 -2.83 NASDAQ +7.98 SP500 +0.75 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1260/1.00 bln/1180 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1560/395 mln/1380

1:30 pm : Results from the 30-year Bond sale proved somewhat disappointing, causing Treasuries to drift lower. The auction drew a bid-to-cover of 2.60, dollar demand of $33.8 billion, and an indirect bidder participation rate of 31.9%. For comparison, the prior auction drew a bid-to-cover of 3.05, dollar demand of $39.7 billion, and an indirect bidder rate of 32.5%, while an average of the previous six auctions results in a bid-to-cover of 2.69, dollar demand of $37.2 billion, and an indirect bidder rate of 29.8%.DJ30 -2.08 NASDAQ +7.58 SP500 +0.61 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1300/920 mln/1115 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1650/365 mln/1290

1:00 pm : For the second straight session the broad market has worked its way to the flat line following modest, morning selling pressure. Broad market action generally remains lackluster.

Successful debt offerings from both Spain and Italy drove Europe's bourses higher, but they eventually reversed course to book a mixed finish. The decision by the European Central Bank (ECB) and Bank of England to keep interest rate targets unchanged came as little surprise, but the recognition of substantial downside risks to economic activity in the region by ECB President Draghi dampened sentiment. The comment also cut down the euro, but the currency has since rallied back so that it now leads the greenback by nearly 1%.

Data was also a bit of a letdown this morning. Retail sales during December increased by just 0.1% while sales less autos actually fell 0.2%. Neither was as strong as what had been widely anticipated.

Initial weekly jobless claims unexpectedly climbed to 399,000 and continuing jobless claims climbed to 3.63 million from 3.61 million.

The combination of disappointing data and a downturn by Europe's bourses left domestic averages to slip at the open of the session. Stocks managed to get support when the S&P 500 returned to the 1286 line, which had been a point of resistance before the broad market measure gapped above the line earlier this week. Stocks have slowly worked their way higher from there, but only just poked into positive territory.

Although they lack weight, materials stocks are displaying strength for the second straight day. The sector is up 1.4%, which is far better than what any other sector has managed this session. In fact, nearly every other sector is either narrowly above or below the neutral line. Metals plays have the biggest drivers of the materials sector's climb, more than offsetting weakness in agricultural-related issues.

Meanwhile, a few heavyweight tech issues have helped give the Nasdaq a narrow lead over the other major averages for the second straight session. Many of the Composite's solar power constituents are suffering from some profit taking, however.DJ30 -6.58 NASDAQ +6.77 SP500 +0.52 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1220/840 mln/1200 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1545/335 mln/1370

12:30 pm : Even though the stock market is having another listless session, Treasuries haven't attracted much attention today. That has kept the benchmark 10-year Note near the neutral line so that its yield remains only narrowly above 1.90%. The yield on the 30-year Bond is at 2.95% ahead of auction results due at the top of the hour.DJ30 -21.53 NASDAQ +4.96 SP500 -0.80 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1155/760 mln/1225 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1465/305 mln/1445

12:00 pm : Materials stocks have run up to a session high for a 0.7% gain. The sector's climb comes with help from metals and mining issues like Newmont Mining (NEM 63.99, +0.65) and aluminum player Alcoa (AA 9.81, +0.18). Their strength is helping to offset weakness in shares of agricultural players like Agrium (AGU 72.97, -1.32) and CF Industries (CF 161.90, -5.26).DJ30 -33.94 NASDAQ +2.79 SP500 -2.37 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1105/680 mln/1250 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1380/275 mln/1520

11:30 am : Although it is only at the neutral line, the Nasdaq Composite continues to keep a narrow lead over its counterparts, just as it did in the prior session. The relative strength of the tech-rich Index comes as the likes of Google (GOOG 629.65, +3.69) and Broadcom (BRCM 31.90, +0.84) trade higher. Solar stocks were a source of strength for the Nasdaq yesterday, but in the wake of their climb names like First Solar (FSLR 40.47, -1.33) and SunPower (SPWR 7.27, -0.16) are suffering from some profit taking.DJ30 -37.16 NASDAQ +0.47 SP500 -2.70 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 920/565 mln/1405 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1255/235 mln/1625

11:00 am : Stocks recently descended to session lows, but overall losses remain modest, even amid a lack of legitimate leadership.

Telecom stocks make up the best performing sector of the session. They're collectively up 0.5%, but they still lack the market weight to have much of an influence over broader action. Nonetheless, wireless telecom play Sprint (S 2.35, +0.05) is up with an enviable gain, while integrated telecom giant and Dow component AT&T (T 30.20, +0.21) sports an impressive gain of its own. Verizon (VZ 38.92, +0.02) remains mired near the neutral line, though. DJ30 -39.01 NASDAQ -6.22 SP500 -3.92 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 750/455 mln/1550 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1040/200 mln/1800

10:35 am : Natural gas prices continue to come under pressure. Their latest leg lower, which has taken the commodity down to $2.72 per MMBtu for a 3.0% loss, comes in the wake of weekly natural gas inventory data that showed a draw of 95 bcf, even though that is greater than the draw of 90 bcf that had been broadly expected.

In contrast, oil futures prices have managed to build on early strength. The energy component was last quoted at $102.30 per MMBtu, which makes for a 1.4% gain.

Precious metals have sported gains all morning. Gold now trades at $1655 per ounce, which makes for a 1.0% gain. Silver is up 1.7% to $30.40 per ounce. DJ30 -37.91 NASDAQ -6.56 SP500 -3.65 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 835/290 mln/1350 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1260/140 mln/1500

10:00 am : Early action has been choppy and listless, much like it was during the majority of the prior session. The tone ahead of the open had actually been positive, but buying interest was undermined by disappointing retail sales numbers and the latest weekly initial jobless claims count.

The latest dose of data was just posted. It showed that business inventories increased by 0.3% during November. A 0.5% increase had been generally expected. DJ30 -9.15 NASDAQ +1.02 SP500 -0.68 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 935/125 mln/1095 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1400/80 mln/1260

09:45 am : The major equity averages opened narrowly higher, but those modest gains were quickly surrendered so that stocks are now generally mixed in morning trade.

Energy issues are experiencing selling pressure for the second straight session. As a group energy stocks slid more than 1% yesterday to suffer the worst loss of any major sector. Today they are down another 0.5%, which makes them the poorest performers of the early going. DJ30 -12.11 NASDAQ -1.39 SP500 -0.10 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec NA/NA/NA NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec NA/NA/NA

09:15 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +4.80. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +7.20. Stronger sentiment in Europe following a series of successful debt offerings from both Spain and Italy helped bolster buying interest earlier this morning, but disappointing monthly retail sales and weekly initial jobless claims undermined bullishness. Still, a gain by the euro has been regarded as a positive catalyst among premarket participants, although mention of substantial downside risk to economic activity in Europe by European Central Bank President Draghi did cause some knee-jerk selling in the euro earlier this morning. The currency has since rebounded to a 0.5% gain against the greenback.

Still on the docket are the latest monthly business inventory numbers, which are due at 10:00 AM ET. Energy traders get their hands on the latest weekly natural gas inventory report at 10:30 AM ET; the commodity continues to come under pressure ahead of that release. Results from an auction of 30-year Bonds will be posted at 1:00 PM ET. Last on the list, the monthly Treasury Budget will be released at 2:00 PM ET.

09:05 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +4.00. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +5.50. Natural gas prices continue to come under pressure, such that the energy component was last quoted with a 1.9% loss at $2.75 per MMBtu. Weekly natural gas inventory numbers are due at 10:30 AM ET. Oil prices have pushed higher following a prior session loss, however. Oil futures prices are currently up 0.8% to $101.70 per barrel.

Precious metals are performing relatively well. Specifically, gold prices are up 1.0% to $1657 per ounce, while silver sports a 1.6% gain at $30.36 per ounce.

Overall strength in the commodity complex has the CRB Index up a solid 0.4% this morning.

In the backdrop, the dollar is down about 0.3% against a collection of competing currencies.

08:35 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +3.80. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +4.50. Stock futures have slipped following a flurry of disappointing data. Retail sales during December reportedly increased by a tepid 0.1%, which is less than the 0.4% increase that had been generally expected among economists polled by Briefing.com. Excluding autos, sales actually fell 0.2%, which comes in contrast to the 0.3% increase that had been widely anticipated. However, sales and sales less autos for the prior month were both revised upward to reflect increases of 0.4% and 0.3%, respectively.

Separately, the latest lot of initial weekly jobless claims climbed to 399,000 from 375,000, which is where many had expected the claims count to remain. Continuing jobless claims also climbed. They hit 3.63 million after coming in at 3.61 million in the prior week.

At the same time the data was released, European Central Bank President Draghi began a press conference. His words are still making their rounds, but the initial response by the euro has been to retreat back to the neutral line.

08:05 am : S&P futures vs fair value: +7.50. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +10.00. The prior session saw the broad market finish flat, but buyers are showing more interest ahead of today's open. Their bid comes in conjunction with renewed strength in Europe, where the region's major bourses have responded positively to successful debt offerings from Spain and Italy. Improved sentiment has also helped the euro gain some ground against the greenback. The unsurprising decision by the European Central Bank to keep its benchmark lending rate at 1.00% has had less sway with traders, but a press conference set to begin at the bottom of the hour could prove influential in the rest of Europe's session. The bottom of the hour also brings the latest weekly initial jobless clams count and monthly retail sales results. Business inventory data are due at 10:00 AM ET. The Treasury Budget won't be posted until 2:00 PM ET.

06:42 am : [BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: +6.00. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +10.00.

06:42 am : Nikkei...8385.59...-62.30...-0.70%. Hang Seng...19095.38...-56.60...-0.30%.

06:42 am : FTSE...5692.28...+21.50...+0.40%. DAX...6244.24...+91.90...+1.50%.
