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.

S&P 500 Snaps Advance on Concern Over Greece Bailout

Feb. 10 (Bloomberg) -- Bloomberg's Pimm Fox and Deborah Kostroun report on the performance of the U.S. equity market today. U.S. stocks fell, snapping a five-week rally for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index, on concern that plans to help Greece avoid default were unraveling and as confidence among American consumers dropped more than forecast.

NEW YORK (CNN Money) -- It was a day of reckoning for the stock market.

Stock indexes have largely glided higher for most of 2012, but as investors grew concerned over Greece's ongoing debt drama, all three indexes dropped Friday, pushing them into negative territory for the week.

The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) moved down 90 points, or 0.7% Friday, falling 0.5% for the week.

The S&P 500 (SPX) fell 9 points, or 0.7%, losing 0.5% for the week. The Nasdaq (COMP) shed 23 points, or 0.8%, pushing the tech-heavy index down 0.06% for the week.

All three indexes still remain significantly higher for the year. The Dow, S&P, and Nasdaq are up 4.7%, 6.8% and 11.5% respectively.

Throughout the trading day Friday, the selling in the market was broad. Oil, gold and copper fell about 1%.

All 30 stocks in the Dow moved negative, with aluminum maker Alcoa (AA, Fortune 500) and chemical manufacturer DuPont (DD, Fortune 500) losing the most ground.

"There's an increase in the level of agita in the markets, because the Greek deal isn't done," said Guy LeBas, chief fixed income strategist at Janney Capital Markets. "The tone of the market has turned fairly negative."

The fresh bout of worries over Greece came after eurozone finance ministers called the new Greek austerity deal into question, saying it does not go far enough.

The finance ministers said they would need to see more spending cuts before signing off on a new €130 billion bailout, which is key to the debt-laden country making its payment on a €14.5 billion bond redemption next month and avoiding default.

"Despite the important progress achieved over the last days, we did not yet have all necessary elements on the table to make decisions today," said Jean-Claude Juncker, the prime minister of Luxembourg and head of the Eurogroup.

Specifically, Juncker said the reform package needs to be approved by the Greek parliament this weekend, and Greece's leaders need to pledge they'll continue to implement the measures after elections in April. He also said that Greece must cut an additional €325 million from its "structural expenditures" in 2012.

* Greece: One step forward, two steps back

If Greece meets those conditions, a bailout package could be signed as early as next week, when eurozone finance ministers are due to meet again.

Meanwhile, Greece is also working to finalize a deal with its private-sector creditors to write down a portion of its debt.

U.S. stocks posted slim gains Thursday, after Greek political parties struck a deal on the austerity measures.

World markets: European stocks closed lower. Britain's FTSE 100 (UKX) slipped 0.7%, the DAX (DAX) in Germany dropped 1.4% and France's CAC 40 (CAC40) fell 1.5%.

After European markets closed, Standard & Poors' downgraded 34 out of 37 Italian banks.

Asian markets ended mixed. The Shanghai Composite (SHCOMP) added 0.1%, while the Hang Seng (HSI) in Hong Kong shed 1.1% and Japan's Nikkei (N225) fell 0.6%.

China's trade surplus expanded in January as imports slumped 15%, sparking questions over the sustainability of China's rapid economic growth.

Economy: The December trade deficit for the U.S. expanded to $48.8 billion, from $47.1 billion the prior month.

* Video - Obama: Banks will 'right these wrongs'

Consumer sentiment dropped more sharply than expected in February. The February edition of the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index fell to 72.5 from 75 last month. The index was expected to come in at 74.

The Treasury Department reported a smaller budget deficit than expected of $27.4 billion for January. Analysts had expected the budget report to show a deficit of $40 billion.

Companies: Alcatel-Lucent (ALU) shares spiked 13%, after the telecom equipment maker posted an annual profit for 2011 -- its first since Alcatel and Lucent merged in 2006.

LinkedIn (LNKD) shares jumped almost 18% Friday, a day after the professional networking site's fourth-quarter profit surged 30% and revenue more than doubled.

Barclays (BCS) shares moved up 1.6%. The London-based bank posted an unexpected loss for the fourth quarter, but it also cut its its bonus pool by 25%. For employees at the investment bank, Barclays Capital, bonuses fell by almost a third and are capped at £65,000.

Shares of Activision Blizzard (ATVI), maker of World of Warcraft and Call of Duty, slipped nearly 3% even after the game maker beat fourth-quarter profit and sales estimates.

Nuance Communications' (NUAN) shares fell 13%, after the software developer reported earnings that missed analysts' expectations.

Shares of First Solar (FSLR) plunged after the company announced a delay in funding for a massive solar farm it plans to build near Los Angeles.

Parent of the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE Euronext (NYX, Fortune 500), beat earnings' expectations Friday that pushed the stock up 4.5%. The company's CEO outlined the future of the exchange after it's failed takeover by Deutsche Borse.

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

Oil for March delivery slipped $1.17 to $98.67 a barrel.

Gold futures for April delivery fell $15.70 to $1,723.30 an ounce.

Bonds: The price on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury rose, pushing the yield down to 1.96% from 2.05% late Thursday.

Market Update

4:30 pm : Concerns that gridlock could keep Greece from getting more bailout money spurred some relatively aggressive selling that resulted in the stock market's worst session since December. Ensuing losses also sent the stock market into the red for the week, snapping a streak of five straight weekly gains.

News this morning that eurozone officials are likely to suspend funds intended for Greece until the country agrees to more austerity measures and the country signs them into law aroused suspicions that the plan will face another prolonged debate in parliament that will ultimately take the flagging country closer to default.

Headlines about a forthcoming agreement helped lift the euro to a near two-month high against the greenback yesterday, but it rolled over in response to today's story. By session's end it was at $1.318 for a 0.7% loss.

The greenback's strength today was augmented by an interest in safety, which also helped take Treasuries higher. That took the yield on the benchmark 10-year Note back below 2.00% from the 10-day high that it set in the prior session.

Perhaps of little surprise, defensive-oriented stocks suffered the least today. For instance, the Utilities sector shed only 0.1%, while the Consumer Staples sector settled with a loss of just 0.2%. Health Care fell 0.3%.

Cyclically sensitive stocks were hit hard. As a consequence, the Materials sector sank 1.8%. Its loss was the worst of the 10 major sectors.

With market participants less tolerant of risk the Volatility Index spiked to a three-week high of almost 22. It eased back from there, but was still up more than 11% by the closing bell.

Selling also extended into the commodity complex, resulting in a 1.1% loss for the CRB Index. Oil prices tumbled 1.2% to $98.68 per barrel, while gold prices closed pit trade with a 0.9% loss at $1725 per ounce and silver settled with a 1.2% loss at $33.60 per ounce.

Prior to Friday stocks didn't move very dramatically. As such, the broad market finished with a fractional loss on Monday. Trade on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday finished with modest gains after the broad market managed to overcome some modest morning selling pressure. Those measured moves still put the S&P 500 at its best level in seven months by Thursday.

Earnings this week were generally upbeat, but the reports had little influence on overall trade. Nonetheless, both Akamai Tech (AKAM 38.43, +0.37) and Visa (V 113.90, +1.48) impressed with their latest quarterly report, but fellow tech play and Dow component Cisco (CSCO 19.90, -0.10) was clipped in the session that immediately followed its upside earnings surprise. Fellow blue chip Coca-Cola (KO 67.94, -0.03) posted its own upside earnings surprise this week. Rival PepsiCo (PEP 63.95, -0.32) did the same. Dow component Walt Disney (DIS 41.45, -0.08) also posted better-than-expected earnings. Time Warner (TWX 37.52, -0.19) did, too, but complemented its upside surprise with a dividend hike. BP Plc (BP 46.35, -0.42) also announced an increase to its dividend.

Domestic data was light this week. Friday featured a preliminary reading on consumer sentiment for February from the University of Michigan. It made a surprise slip to 72.5 from 75.0 in the prior month. The Treasury deficit for January made an unexpectedly steep drop to $27.4 billion from the near $50 billion deficit posted in the prior month, while the overall trade deficit grew by $1.7 billion to $48.8 billion in December.

Earlier in the week data was limited to news that the latest tally of initial weekly jobless claims totaled 358,000, which is less than the 370,000 initial claims that had been generally expected among economists polled by Briefing.com. Consumer credit spiked during December to $19.3 billion to more than double what had been widely expected. Wholesale inventories showed a surprisingly sharp 1.0% increase during December.

Fed Chairman Bernanke testified to the Senate Budget Committee about the economy and its outlook in the first half of the week, but becaue his comments did not deviate from those delivered last week to the House Budget Committee market participants considered it a non-event.

Data from abroad was also in the mix this week, but a focal point was European Central Bank (ECB) President Draghi's decision to expand ECB collateral guidelines, effectively making policy there more accommodative. The ECB did keep its target lending rate at 1.00%, though. As an aside, the Bank of England opted to leave its target rate at 0.5%, but expanded its lending program by 50 billion to 225 billion pounds. DJ30 -89.23 NASDAQ -23.35 NQ100 -0.7% R2K -1.4% SP400 -1.1% SP500 -9.31 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 654/1.77 bln/1880 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 742/750 mln/2300

3:30 pm : Market participants displayed risk aversion in response to uncertainty surrounding Greece and its efforts to secure another bailout. That brought about a concerted selling effort that clipped most commodities and cut down the CRB Index for a 1.1% loss. For the week, the CRB fell 0.7%.

Oil prices tumbled 1.2% to $98.68 per barrel, but natural gas prices managed a flat finish at $2.48 per MMBtu. Precious metals were clipped, such that gold prices closed pit trade with a 0.9% loss at $1725 per ounce and silver settled with a 1.2% loss at $33.60 per ounce. DJ30 -131.16 NASDAQ -28.36 SP500 -12.74 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 595/1.36 bln/1920 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 640/475 mln/2375

3:00 pm : Stocks enter the final hour of the session holding the same levels that they set about an hour ago. Should the position hold, the S&P 500 will book its worst single-session loss since December.

The week ahead brings plenty of potential catalysts for trade. Below is a rundown of some of the more major events.

On Monday, February 13, the White House will publish its budget for fiscal 2013. Tuesday, February 14 brings January retail sales, export and import prices, and monthly business inventories. Eurozone industrial production data and the latest eurozone ZEW Survey will also be released. Wednesday, February 15 features the February Empire Manufacturing, domestic industrial production and capacity utilization. Minutes from the most recent FOMC meeting will also be posted. France will post a preliminary glimpse of its GDP, as will Germany. Thursday, February 16 offers weekly initial jobless claims, housing starts and building permits, and producer price data. The latest Philadelphia Fed Survey will also be posted. Friday, February 17 offers January CPI and monthly Leading Indicators.DJ30 -129.98 NASDAQ -26.53 SP500 -11.12 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 635/1.30 bln/1870 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 685/445 mln/2320

2:30 pm : Stocks continue to slog along in negative territory. Today's loss is shaping up to be the worst that the S&P 500 has suffered since December, but for some of the market's more bullish participants the slide could be considered a positive for the stock market's upward trend since it allows the gains achieved in the past several weeks to consolidate. Some market pundits would say that such selling opens the door for new buyers to step back in and put the broas market back on an upward trajectory.DJ30 -128.09 NASDAQ -23.28 SP500 -11.70 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 630/1.21 bln/1870 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 645/410 mln/2340

2:00 pm : Stocks recently moved another leg lower, breaking out of the sideways crawl that had appeared to be forming. The move puts stocks at their worst levels of the afternoon.

Meanwhile, the euro has also lost ground against the greenback, such that it now trades at $1.32 for a 0.7% loss.

The Treasury Budget for January was just released. It showed a $27.4 billion deficit, which is considerably less than the $40.0 billion deficit that had been broadly expected among economists polled by Briefing.com. It also marks a contraction from the near $50 billion deficit posted in the prior month. DJ30 -140.92 NASDAQ -25.76 SP500 -13.01 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 620/1.11 bln/1860 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 610/380 mln/2365

1:30 pm : Stocks appear to have entered into a sideways drift. In contrast to recent sessions, though, such a drift comes with stocks still in negative territory.

The market hasn't really flinched in response to some recent headlines regarding a downgrade of many of Italy's banks by analysts at S&P. According to preliminary reports, 34 out of 37 reviewed banks had their ratings lowered by the firm. DJ30 -121.17 NASDAQ -21.07 SP500 -10.69 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 685/1.03 bln/1765 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 700/350 mln/2260

1:00 pm : Stocks have worked their way off of session lows, but the broad market remains on pace for its worst single-session performance in six weeks. Additionally, the move lower has threatened to snap the stock market's streak of five straight weekly gains.

Concerted selling has come in response to concern that dealings between Greece and eurozone officials will be prolonged, effectively suspending payment of more bailout funds and bringing the flagging country closer to default, since eurozone officials are want to add new austerity measures and have them signed into law.

As a result of widespread weakness this session, the Volatility Index spiked to a three-week high this morning. It has eased off of that mark, but is still up 10% for the day.

All 10 of the stock market's major sectors are in negative territory, but materials stocks are in the worst shape. The sector's near 2% tumble comes as market participants make an especially strong push against mining and metals plays.

An interest in safety has helped take Treasuries higher today, such that the yield on the benchmark 10-year Note is now back below 2.00%. Meanwhile, the dollar is up 0.6% against a collection of competing currencies. Gold hasn't garnered any buying interest, however; the yellow metal was last quoted with a 1.0% loss at $1724 per ounce.

Domestic economic data has featured a preliminary reading on consumer sentiment for February from the University of Michigan. It made a surprise slip to 72.5 from 75.0 in the prior month.

Separately, the US trade deficit grew by $1.7 billion to $48.8 billion in December. The latest Treasury Budget will be announced this afternoon at 2:00 PM ET.DJ30 -109.13 NASDAQ -16.97 SP500 -8.99 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 655/949 mln/1770 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 655/325 mln/2290

12:30 pm : The stock market's slide today has spurred interest in traditional safe havens like Treasuries. Demand for the benchmark 10-year Note has its yield back below 2.0%.

The greenback has also garnered support. It was last quoted with a 0.6% gain against a collection of competing currencies. DJ30 -120.11 NASDAQ -20.84 SP500 -10.90 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 605/860 mln/1800 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 605/300 mln/2335

12:00 pm : Today's descent has dashed the modest gains that stocks achieved in each of the three preceding sessions. As a consequence, the S&P 500 is now down 0.3% for the week. Should that persist, stocks will book their first weekly loss in six weeks. The streak of five straight weekly gains is the best stretch for the stock market since it scored seven straight to round out 2010 and start 2011.DJ30 -110.95 NASDAQ -18.80 SP500 -9.83 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 585/790 mln/1810 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 590/275 mln/2350

11:30 am : Europe's bourses are in the process of settling their latest round of trade. Losses well in excess of 1% are generally expected. Selling there was primarily spurred by disappointment over the latest developments in Greece, which has been asked by eurozone officials to add new austerity measures to its plan and also to sign those measures into law. There is concern that those demands will only prolong the process and delay the payment of more bailout funds. That runs the risk of bringing Greece closer to default.DJ30 -123.82 NASDAQ -21.93 SP500 -11.57 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 585/655 mln/1790 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 540/235 mln/1370

11:00 am : Stocks continue to contend with steady selling pressure, which has left the major equity averages wrestling with losses of almost 1%. Weakness has been widespread since the start of trade.

The Volatility Index has spiked as a result of such a concerted selling effort. It was last quoted at about 20.7, which makes for an 11% surge. The move puts the euphemistically labeled Fear Gauge at a three-week high. DJ30 -115.80 NASDAQ -20.95 SP500 -11.26 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 500/510 mln/1860 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 445/190 mln/2440

10:35 am : The dollar index is showing some strength this morning, which is weighing on the commodities space. The index hit a new session high of 79.20 around 8:50am ET and currently remains right above the 79.00 level.

In energy, Mar crude oil has been in the red all morning and sold off even further at the open of pit trading, which pulled crude down to a new session low of $97.32. In recent trade, crude is trading 1.5% lower at $98.32. Feb natural gas has spent most of its time in positive territory this morning and after some choppy action this morning, the energy component is now down 0.8% at $2.465/MMBtu.

In metals, Apr gold and March silver are both in negative territory this morning, largely on the strength in the dollar index, but have been climbing higher off of recently-hit session lows. Gold fell as low as $1706.40 and silver declined as far as $33.17, while in current trade, gold is down 1.1% at $1721.90 and silver is down 0.8% at $33.65/oz.DJ30 -123.29 NASDAQ -24.24 SP500 -11.91 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 495/469 mln/1861 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 403/181 mln/2478

10:00 am : The preliminary reading on consumer sentiment for February from the University of Michigan came in at 72.5, which is less than both the Briefing.com consensus call for a reading of 74.0 and the prior month reading of 75.0.

Disappointment over the reading has resulted in more selling among stocks. The effort has taken the Dow to a new morning low, while both the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq probe the depths that were set in the opening minutes of trade. DJ30 -127.15 NASDAQ -27.71 SP500 -13.05 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 400/132 mln/1820 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 365/75 mln/2355

09:45 am : Widespread weakness has the broad market down with a sizable loss this morning.

Pressure is most pronounced among materials stocks, which are off by 1.5%. Metals and mining plays are especially weak.

Meanwhile, defensive-oriented sectors like utilities and consumer staples have limited their losses. Both sectors are down 0.4%, which is about half of what the broad market has surrendered this morning. DJ30 -101.04 NASDAQ -20.83 SP500 -10.45 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec NA/NA/NA NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec NA/NA/NA

09:15 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -12.10. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -18.50. Concern about the possible direction of Greece's dealings with eurozone officials has undermined sentiment among market participants, such that a sharply lower start for today's trade is expected. That would eat into the modest gains that the market has mustered in recent sessions, and also threaten to snap the stock market's streak of weekly gains, which currently stands at five in a row. Economic data has, thus far, failed to offer encouragement to traders. Reports from both Europe and China have been underwhelming, while domestic data has been limited to news that the trade deficit grew slightly more than expected to $48.8 billion. Still on tap, the first monthly reading on consumer sentiment from the University of Michigan will be posted at 9:55 AM ET. The latest Treasury Budget will be announced this afternoon at 2:00 PM ET.

09:05 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -13.10. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -19.30. More risk aversion among market participants has weakened the commodity complex, such that the CRB Index is currently down 1.0%. Crude oil prices are under sharp pressure. Specifically, the energy component is down 2.1% to $97.75 per barrel in early pit trade. Meanwhile, natural gas prices are off by 0.5% at $2.46 per MMBtu. Rather than benefit from a flight to safety, precious metals are also under pressure. Selling there has taken gold down by 1.7% to $1713 per ounce. Silver is off by 1.6% to $33.39 per ounce.

08:35 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -12.20. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -19.00. Stock futures remain in weak shape, unfazed by the latest domestic trade data, which indicated that the US trade deficit for December grew to $48.8 billion from a downwardly revised $47.1 billion in the prior month. Economists polled by Briefing.com had expected, on average, that the deficit would total $48.2 billion. Still on tap, the first monthly reading on consumer sentiment from the University of Michigan will be posted at 9:55 AM ET. The latest Treasury Budget will be announced this afternoon at 2:00 PM ET.

08:05 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -12.70. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -20.50. Stock futures are under pressure in conjunction with a sell-off in Europe, where sentiment has soured in response to news that eurozone leaders still have unmet demands for Greece and want the austerity measures signed into law before more bailout funds are released to the flagging country. That has many market participants concerned about the potential for another debacle by Greece's parliament.

Headlines about a possible deal had helped take the euro higher in recent sessions, but a pronounced pullback this morning has left it down 0.7% against the greenback. Economic data from Europe has failed to provide a boon to the currency.

China also released some disappointing data overnight, further undermining early sentiment.

Domestic data on tap for today features international trade numbers, which will be released at 8:30 AM ET. The first monthly reading on consumer sentiment from the University of Michigan will be posted at 9:55 AM ET. The latest Treasury Budget will be announced this afternoon at 2:00 PM ET.

06:31 am : [BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: -9.00. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -11.00.

06:30 am : Nikkei...8947.17...-55.10...-0.60%. Hang Seng...20783.86...-226.20...-1.10%.

06:30 am : FTSE...5874.41...-21.10...-0.40%. DAX...6724.10...-64.70...-0.80%.
