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) -- U.S. stocks rose Thursday, as hopes for more stimulus from the Federal Reserve and upbeat housing data overshadowed concerns about the job market and mixed corporate earnings.

The Dow Jones industrial average (INDU) rose 114 points, or 0.9%, to end at 13,204.

Exxon Mobil (XOM, Fortune 500) was the biggest drag on the Dow after the oil company reported a decline in profit. Wal-Mart (WMT, Fortune 500) led gainers on the blue-chip index, rebounding after falling 8% so far this week due to an alleged Mexican bribery scandal.

The S&P 500 (SPX) gained 9 points, or 0.7%, to just under 1,400. The Nasdaq (COMP) added 21 points, or 0.7%, to 3,051.

Thursday's gains came one day after Fed chairman Ben Bernanke said central bank policy is "approximately in the right place at this point." But he added that the Fed is "prepared to take further action" if the economy deteriorates.

Some investors took the comments as a sign the Fed is willing to extend its asset purchasing program, known as quantitative easing, said Joseph Saluzzi, co-head of equity trading at Themis Trading.

"There's definitely some after-effects of Bernanke," Saluzzi said. "The stimulus addicts are still at it, and Bernanke certainly didn't shut the door."

* Occupy boardroom: Shareholders revolt

Meanwhile, investors digested reports showing that initial jobless claims remain elevated while pending home sales have increased.

The pending home sales data lifted shares of home builders such as PulteGroup (PHM, Fortune 500), DR Horton (DHI, Fortune 500) and Hovnanian (HOV).

"There is talk about a bottom in real estate," said Anthony Conroy, head trader at BNY ConvergEx Group.

In addition, stocks have been supported by better-than-expected corporate earnings.

As of Wednesday, nearly half of the companies in the S&P 500 have reported first-quarter results, and 76% of them have beat expectations, according to Capital IQ.

"I have been encouraged by corporate earnings overall," said Conroy. "There have been two clear leaders in financials and technology."

U.S. stocks finished higher Wednesday on news that the Federal Reserve boosted its economic growth projection and improved its outlook. A jump in Boeing (BA, Fortune 500) shares pushed up the Dow, while Apple's (AAPL, Fortune 500) earnings propelled the Nasdaq and S&P.

* Traders want more volatility

Economy: The number of people filing for first-time unemployment benefits dipped 1,000 to 388,000 in the most recent week, according to the Labor Department's weekly initial claims report.

The jobless claims number fell to four-year lows a few months ago, but has been climbing recently. Economists surveyed by Briefing.com had expected the report to show that 365,000 people filed for their first week of jobless claims last week, down from 386,000 the week before.

Meanwhile, pending home sales rose 4.1% in March, according to the National Association of Realtors. The pending home sales index, which reflect contracts but not closings, was expected to have risen 0.5%, according to a consensus of analysts surveyed by Briefing.com.
Wal-Mart's board: Can they handle the Mexican heat?

Companies: After the market closed, Starbucks (SBUX, Fortune 500) reported better-than-expected quarterly earnings and raised its outlook for the full year. The coffee chain said it earned 40 cents per share in the quarter, beating estimates by a penny.

The coffee giant raised its full-year earnings estimates to a range between $1.81 and $1.84 a share. But analysts are expecting full-year earnings of $1.86 per share, according to Thomson Reuters. Shares fell 4% in extended trading.

Also after the close, Amazon (AMZN, Fortune 500) said it earned 28 cents per share in the first quarter, down from 44 cents per share a year ago. But the results were much better than the 7 cent per share profit analysts had predicted.

Before the opening bell, Exxon Mobil reported earnings of $2 per share, below expectations of $2.09. The nation's No. 1 oil company generated $9.45 billion in profits the quarter, compared to $10.65 billion a year earlier.

In anticipation of its profits, the oil industry went on the offensive, saying that 1 in 10 U.S. jobs created in 2011 were from Big Oil.

Shares of H&R Block (HRB) plunged 11% a day after the tax preparer said it would cut 350 full-time jobs nationwide and close 200 "underperforming" offices. The move should save H&R between $85 million to $100 million annually by the end of fiscal year 2013.

PepsiCo's (PEP, Fortune 500) stock edged lower after the company reported earnings of 69 cents per share and net revenue of more than $12.4 billion, beating expectations.

UPS (UPS, Fortune 500) reported earnings of $1 per share, missing expectations by 2 cents. The parcel delivery company, often seen as a bellwether of economic activity, reported revenue that was roughly in line with estimates. Shares fell 1.8%

Citrix Systems (CTXS) shares rose 12% after the business software maker said Wednesday that revenue rose 20% in the first quarter and raised its outlook for 2012 sales.

World markets: European stocks ended mixed. Britain's FTSE 100 (UKX) and the DAX (DAX) in Germany both rose 0.5%, while France's CAC 40 (CAC40) fell 0.1%.

The Italian government auctioned €8.5 billion worth of 6-month notes at a yield of 1.77%. That's higher than last month's auction, signaling weaker demand since yields and prices move in opposite direction.

The yield on Italian 10-year bonds has been hovering around 6% for the past week or so. Italy will offer 5- and 10-year bonds Friday.

Asian markets ended mixed. The Shanghai Composite (SHCOMP) finished slightly in the red, while the Hang Seng (HSI) in Hong Kong added 0.8% and Japan's Nikkei (N225) ended just above breakeven.

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

Oil for June delivery rose 43 cents to settle at $104.55 a barrel.

Gold futures for June delivery rose $18.20 to $1,660.50 an ounce.

Bonds: The price on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury rose, pushing the yield down slightly to 1.95% from 1.98% late Wednesday.

Market Update

4:30 pm : Early action was choppy and listless as market participants responded to renewed weakness in Europe, where an economic sentiment indicator from the European Commission made a steeper-than-expected decline during April. Disappointing weekly jobless claims data at home didn't help the mood of morning trade. The latest initial claims count totaled 388,000, which is greater than the 373,000 claims that economists polled by Briefing.com had generally expected, and is consistent with the prior week tally of 389,000 claims.

Stocks responded positively to news that pending home sales spiked in March by 4.1%, which is far greater than the 0.5% increase that economists polled by Briefing.com had generally expected. The SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB 21.35, +0.42) climbed to a near 2% gain shortly after the release of the report, but that gain was given back before the ETF made a steady ascent alongside the broad market in afternoon trade.

The broad market had difficulty building on the bit of buying that followed the pending home sales report, leaving the major equity averages to chop along in a rather tight range not too far above the neutral line. However, the tone of trade improved in the afternoon. The buying that ensued put the broad market on a steady climb that made for a nice extension of the prior session's advance. The S&P 500 had cleared the 1400 line for before it eased back to close there. The broad market measure now enters Friday sporting a week-to-date gain of about 1.6%, which would make for the best weekly performance in six weeks of trade.

Telecom has been one of the best performers of the past week. The sector bested every other sector today by advancing another 1.7%, which puts it on pace for a weekly gain of nearly 4%. Financials, Energy, and Tech -- typical leaders -- all traded in stride with the broader market, settling with gains of 0.8%, 0.7%, and 0.6%, respectively.

The latest round of earnings proved less impressive than those of the recent past. Flaws in the reports of Akamai Tech (AKAM 33.15, -5.60), Dow Chemical (DOW 34.85, -1.23), and Las Vegas Sands (LVS 56.97, -1.81) overshadowed their better-than-expected earnings. PepsiCo (PEP 66.37, -0.30) also failed to put together a gain, despite its upside earnings surprise. Meanwhile, Exxon Mobil (XOM 86.07, -0.78) and UPS (UPS 78.25, -1.40) both came short of the consensus. Colgate-Palmolive (CL 99.47, -0.11) and BristolMyers (BMY 33.76, -0.53) both had in-line earnings.

Advancing Sectors: Telecom +1.7%, Consumer Discretionary +1.2%, Consumer Staples +0.8%, Financials +0.8%, Energy +0.7%, Tech +0.6%, Industrials +0.6%, Utilities +0.6%
Declining Sectors: Health Care -0.1%, Materials -0.2%DJ30 +113.90 NASDAQ +20.98 NQ100 +0.6% R2K +0.8% SP400 +1.0% SP500 +9.29 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1575/1.75 bln/946 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2048/775 mln/953

3:30 pm : Precious metals had a strong session. They extended their gains with a stead climb that culminated in a 1.1% gain for gold and a 2.5% gain for silver. The two settled at $1660.30 per ounce and $31.17 per ounce, respectively.

Crude prices rallied in early pit trade and set a session high of $104.92 per barrel, but eventually retreated. Additional swings in the last hour of pit trade took prices back near session highs, but the energy component closed the session with a 0.4% gain at $104.57 per barrel. Natural gas prices opened pit trade in positive territory and even spiked to a session high of $2.19 per MMBtu following weekly inventory data that showed a build of 47 bcf when a build of 50 bcf had been broadly expected. However, gains were quickly sold, sending prices back to the unchanged line. Followng an attempt to recover, prices sold-off into the close to settle its session with a 2.9% loss at $2.01 per MMBtu. DJ30 +126.81 NASDAQ +24.92 SP500 +10.33 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1545/1.35 bln/960 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2010/500 mln/965

3:00 pm : The stock market's afternoon ascent has evened out, leaving stocks to consolidate their gains with the arrival of the final hour of trade.

With only 60 minutes to trade many market participants are turning their attention to the next round of earnings reports. Briefing.com will cover reports from approximately 120 companies after the close. Nearly 50 more will be reviewed when they are released tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning also brings the advance reading of first quarter GDP data. The final reading on consumer sentiment for April from the University of Michigan will also be released tomorrow morning. DJ30 +122.04 NASDAQ +24.55 SP500 +9.97 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1555/1.25 bln/930 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2015/465 mln/940

2:30 pm : Stocks continue to stretch higher in afternoon trade. The action has all 10 major sectors at their best levels of the day.

Although stocks are adding to their gains, defensive-oriented assets aren't seeing much rotational selling. Instead, the benchmark 10-year Note continues to trade with a modest gain while the dollar continues to drift sideways with a narrow loss. Even gold prices are still up near $1660 per ounce in electronic trade -- the precious metal closed pit trade at $1660.30 per ounce for a gain of $18.40. DJ30 +124.50 NASDAQ +23.24 SP500 +9.59 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1490/1.14 bln/985 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1950/420 mln/980

2:00 pm : Stocks have extended their afternoon advance to set new session highs. Energy, Financials, and Tech continue to trade in-line with the broad market, while Consumer Discretionary, up 1.0%, and Telecom, up 1.8%, show leadership. Meanwhile, Materials and Health Care are only now at the neutral line.DJ30 +106.11 NASDAQ +19.41 SP500 +8.23 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1455/1.03 bln/1000 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1900/380 mln/1015

1:30 pm : Stocks recently pushed up to their best levels of the day, but overall gains remain modest. The move comes without any clear catalyst or headline to account for the move.

Results from an auction of 7-year Notes were released about 30 minutes ago, but Treasuries haven't really shown much of a reaction. The offering drew a bid-to-cover of 2.83, dollar demand of $82.1 billion, and an indirect bidder participation rate of 38.2%. For comparison, the prior auction drew a bid-to-cover of 2.72, dollar demand of $78.9 billion, and an indirect bidder rate of 42.8%, while an average of the last six auctions produces a bid-to-cover of 2.84, dollar demand of $82.3 billion, and an indirect bidder participation rate of 38.7%. DJ30 +56.99 NASDAQ +6.02 SP500 +2.27 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1370/930 mln/1075 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1740/345 mln/1155

1:00 pm : The major equity averages are up modestly despite a lack of leadership and some disappointing weekly initial jobless claims numbers.

A neutral tone to premarket trade soured slightly in response to news that the latest initial jobless claims tally totaled 388,000, which is little changed from the prior week, but greater than the 373,000 claims that economists polled by Briefing.com had generally expected. However, stocks attracted some support upon the start of the session.

A surprisingly strong spike of 4.1% in monthly pending home sales was followed by a flurry of buying, but action has since been choppy, especially as the more influential sectors like Financials, Energy, and Tech all muddle along with modest gains. Meanwhile, Telecom is having another impressive day, sporting a 1.3% gain, which is more than double what any other sector has scored today.

The latest round of earnings reports hasn't been as impressive as those of recent days. Although Akamai Tech (AKAM 34.14, -4.61), Dow Chemical (DOW 34.83, -1.25), and Las Vegas Sands (LVS 55.94, -2.84) all surpassed consensus earnings estimates, flaws in the rest of their reports have resulted in sharp losses. PepsiCo (PEP 66.48, -0.19) also posted an upside earnings surprise, but its shares have also traded in the red. Exxon Mobil (XOM 85.58, -1.27) and UPS (UPS 77.24, -2.41) posted disappointing bottom line results, while Colgate-Palmolive (CL 99.01, -0.57) and BristolMyers (BMY 33.78, -0.51) both had in-line earnings. DJ30 +56.99 NASDAQ +6.02 SP500 +2.27 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1355/850 mln/1065 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1700/310 mln/1170

12:30 pm : Financials and Energy stocks continue to trade quietly, just as they have in recent days, when the sector either moved in stride with the broad market or slightly lagged it. The two sectors are up 0.3% and 0.2%, respectively, today.

Tech stocks are also relatively quiet today. The sector is only narrowly above the neutral line. One difference between its performance today versus that of either Financials or Energy is that the sector is resting from a 3% surge in the prior session.

Although less popular in its media appeal, Telecom is a standout in today's trade. The sector's 1.2% gain makes it the best peformer of the session. DJ30 +56.99 NASDAQ +6.02 SP500 +2.27 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1380/780 mln/1020 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1720/290 mln/1140

12:00 pm : Aside from Materials, which are down modestly, Health Care stocks make up the only other major sector that is currently in negative territory. Their collective loss of 0.3% comes after several pharmaceutical companies announced quarterly results.

Among the more widely held names that reported since the prior session close, AmerisourceBergen (ABC 37.12, -0.73) and BristolMyers (BMY 33.90, -0.39) both posted in-line earnings. AstraZeneca (AZN 43.36, -2.55) posted an upside earnings surprise, but its top line was light relative to expectations. The company also lowered its core earnings projection. The company also announced that its chief executive will retire at the beginning of June. DJ30 +56.19 NASDAQ +5.75 SP500 +2.28 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1340/660 mln/1030 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1670/260 mln/1165

11:30 am : Telecom stocks had a quiet session yesterday, but in the previous day the sector outperformed by posting an impressive gain. Buying in the sector has been rekindled today, driving it to a gain of 1.0%, which is more than double what any other sector has scored this session. Integrated Telecom plays AT&T (T 32.17, +0.43) and Verizon (VZ 39.94, +0.46) are leading the effort. Shares of the former are actually at a new multi-year high, but despite that feat the stock's current dividend yield still stands at about 5.5%.DJ30 +50.40 NASDAQ +5.80 SP500 +1.88 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1195/570 mln/1125 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1505/220 mln/1300

11:00 am : Tech stocks displayed relative strength in the early going, but the sector has since faltered so that it trads at the flat line. With Financials up only modestly and Energy fighting with a fractional loss the broad market is lacking leadership. That has left the S&P 500 to chop along near the neutral line.DJ30 +36.67 NASDAQ +2.23 SP500 -0.03 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1240/455 mln/1040 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1525/180 mln/1255

10:35 am : Crude oil prices continue clinging to an incremental gain; it was last quoted with a 0.1% gain at $104.20 per barrel. However, natural gas prices remain elevated. In fact, the energy component recently extended its advance to a new session high of $2.18 per MMBtu, which makes for a 5.4% gain that comes on top of the strong move that it already made in the prior session. News that weekly inventories increased by 47 bcf when a build of 50 bcf had been expected is helping propel the energy component higher.

Precious metals have been strong performers all morning. Gold has extended its climb to $1656 per ounce for a 0.8% gain, while silver sports a 1.5% gain at $30.83 per ounce. Their impressive gains have come even though the dollar is down only fractionally today. DJ30 +40.56 NASDAQ +6.98 SP500 +0.80 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1235/320 mln/985 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1545/130 mln/1190

10:00 am : Pending home sales spiked by 4.1% during March. That was far better than the 0.5% increase that economists polled by Briefing.com had generally expected. The news has helped lift the broad market to a modest gain, but shares of homebuilders are looking especially strong -- PulteGroup (PHM 9.27, +0.57), KB Home 8.52, +0.30), Hovnanian (HOV 1.99, +0.05), and DR Horton (DHI 15.96, +0.25).DJ30 +51.58 NASDAQ +8.90 SP500 +2.06 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1020/135 mln/1095 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 1165/70 mln/1465

09:45 am : Early weakness among Materials stocks has forced the sector to an early loss of 1.0%. Dow Chemical (DOW 34.75, -1.33) has been a heavy drag on the space following its latest quarterly report, which featured earnings that slightly edged out what Wall Street had expected, but company revenue proved relatively light.

Despite a 9% drop in shares of Akamai Tech (AKAM 35.12, -3.63), the broader Tech sector is up 0.3%, which actually makes it the best performing sector this morning. The sector's advance may be modest, but it comes on top of the 3% rally that it scored yesterday. DJ30 +21.87 NASDAQ +6.36 SP500 -0.53 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec NA/NA/NA NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec NA/NA/NA

09:15 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -4.30. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -5.50. Stocks scored strong gains in the prior session, but a rather disappointing weekly jobless claims count has stock futures pointing to a slightly lower open for trade today. The latest round of earnings reports has also been slightly less impressive than in recent days, given that the number of in-line reports and earnings misses have outnumbered upside surprises among the more widely held issues this morning. Outside of equities, commodities are sporting varied gains, helping drive the CRB Index to a solid gain in the early going. Treasuries have also benefited from a solid bid, but the dollar has been generally flat for the past couple of hours.

09:05 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -4.00. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -6.00. Generally positive action in the commodity complex has the CRB Index up 0.4% this morning. Crude oil prices moved upward with the approach of pit trade, which began only minutes ago. The energy component currently trades at $104.25 per barrel for a slight gain of 0.1%. Natural gas has extended its prior session bounce by pushing up to $2.11 per MMBtu for a 2.0% gain in early floor trade. Prices could experience some swings with the release of weekly inventory numbers at 10:30 AM ET. Precious metals have also attracted strong buying interest. As a result, gold prices are up 0.7% to $1654 per ounce, which is just shy of the yellow metal's morning high. Meanwhile, silver is sporting a 1.4% gain at $30.77 per ounce.

08:35 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -4.30. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -6.80. Stock futures have slipped in response to a relatively disappointing weekly initial jobless claims tally. Initial claims filed for the week ended April 21 totaled 388,000, which is greater than the 373,000 claims that economists polled by Briefing.com had expected on average. The latest tally is consistent with the prior week total of 389,000. Meanwhile, continuing claims climbed to about 3.32 million from 3.31 million in the prior week.

08:05 am : S&P futures vs fair value: -0.80. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: -1.80. Stock futures are essentially flat after easing lower in overnight trade. The pullback came as Europe's bourses reverted to trading in the red. The euro is also at the neutral line after it put together a modest gain overnight.

A barrage of earnings reports is being digested by premarket participants. Akamai (AKAM 36.84, -1.91), Las Vegas Sands (LVS 57.22, -1.56), Dow Chemical (DOW 34.89, -1.19), and PepsiCo (PEP 66.99, +0.32) are among the more widely-held names that exceeded earnings expectations, while Altria (MO 31.80, +0.11), AmerisourceBergen (ABC 37.85, +0.00), BristolMyers (BMY 34.23, -0.06), and Colgate-Palmolive (CL 99.99, +0.41) offered up in-line results. Numbers from Deutsche Bank (DB 43.39, -2.08) were more muddled, but both Exxon Mobil (XOM 85.90, -0.95) and UPS (UPS 78.15, -1.50) came short of the consensus. The former has failed to redeem itself with news of a dividend increase, based on premarket prices, which are quoted here.

The bottom of the hour brings weekly initial jobless claims numbers. An index on national activity from the Chicago Fed will also be released at that time. Monthly pending home sales will be posted at 10:00 AM ET.
