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 rallied Friday on hopes that central banks in Europe and the United States will take steps to support the economy.

The Dow Jones industrial average was up 188 points, or 1.5%, to end above the 13,000 mark, a psychologically important level it has not crossed since early May.

The S&P 500 added 26 points, or 1.9%, and the Nasdaq gained 65 points, or 2.2%.

The major indexes are all ended higher for the week. The Dow rose 2% for the week, the S&P added 1.7% and the Nasdaq gained 1.1%.

Friday's rally was driven mainly by "chatter" the European Central Bank will intervene in the bond market to ease borrowing costs for Spain and Italy, said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Rockwell Global Capital.

"Stocks are moving higher on the hopes that we finally will see some action to stabilize the situation in Europe," said Cardillo.

French President François Hollande and German Chancellor Angela Merkel said in a joint statement Friday that they are "committed to do everything to protect the eurozone." ECB president Mario Draghi said Thursday that the bank will do "whatever it takes" to preserve the euro.

Draghi will meet this weekend with officials from the German central bank, which has resisted buying bonds in the secondary market, ahead of next week's policy meeting, according to Bloomberg. The wire service said Draghi is pushing a plan to buy bonds, lower interest rates and offer additional liquidity to European banks.

* Fear & Greed Index

Meanwhile, investors also responded to the latest U.S. economic data and corporate reports.

The U.S. economy grew at a 1.5% annual rate in the second quarter of 2012, down from a 2% rate in the first three months of the year, according to the government.

While the report was slightly better than expected, the outlook for growth remains lackluster as the weak job market curtails consumer spending. Many traders expect the Federal Reserve, which also meets next week, to take additional steps to stimulate growth.

"We've learned that you never fight the Fed when they want to get something done and have the ammunition to do it," said Anthony Conroy, head trader at BNY ConvergEx Group.

Economy: The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan's final reading on the overall index on consumer sentiment fell to 72.3 in July from 73.2 in June. It was the lowest level since December.

Economists had expected the index to remain unchanged in July at 72, according to a survey of analysts by Briefing.com.

Companies: Facebook (FB) shares fell to an all-time low after the social network company's first quarterly earnings release as a public company. Facebook beat analysts' revenue expectations slightly and earnings matched forecasts, but that was apparently not enough for Wall Street.

Starbucks (SBUX, Fortune 500) shares also tumbled after quarterly earnings that missed analysts' expectations.

Expedia (EXPE) shares surged after the online travel booking company reported strong quarterly results.

Despite reporting mixed quarterly results and a disappointing outlook, Amazon (AMZN, Fortune 500) shares moved higher as investors focused on the online retailer's long-term growth prospects.

Shares of Barclays (BCS) gained after the bank apologized for the Libor scandal while reporting a $6.3 billion profit for the first half of 2012.

Merck (MRK, Fortune 500) shares rose after the pharmaceutical company beat earnings and sales expectations and affirmed its outlook for the year.

Del Frisco's (DFRG), a high-end steakhouse chain, raised $75 million in its initial public offering late Thursday, as shares priced at $13, below the range of $14 to $16. The stock finished its first day on the Nasdaq unchanged.

World markets: European markets closed higher. Britain's FTSE 100 rose nearly 1%, the DAX in Germany gained 1.6%, while France's CAC 40 surged 2.2%.

Asian markets ended higher. The Shanghai Composite ticked up 0.1%, the Hang Seng in Hong Kong gained 2% and Japan's Nikkei added 1.5%.

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

Oil for September delivery rose 70 cents to $90.09 a barrel.

Gold futures for August delivery rose $2.90 to $1,618 an ounce.

Bonds: The price on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury fell, pushing the yield up to 1.51% from 1.43% late Thursday.

Market Update

4:25 pm : Today's session was an extension of Thursday's rally initiated by Mario Draghi's comments aimed at restoring investor confidence in the euro zone. The 1.9% advance in the S&P 500 turned the index positive on the week.

Advanced GDP for the second quarter suggested the economy grew at a 1.5% rate when an increase of 1.2% had been expected. The first quarter chain deflator reportedly increased by 1.6%, which is what had been anticipated. Equities surged to highs this afternoon on reports that cited the ECB’s Draghi as saying he is considering bond buys, a rate cut, and a new LTRO program.

Financial stocks contributed to the broad market rally with Citigroup (C 27.30, +1.02) and Goldman Sachs (GS 101.64, +3.58) advancing by 3.9% and 3.7% respectively. Health care was one of the top sectors today with Gilead Sciences (GILD 55.50, +3.82) outperforming the rest of the pack. The company beat on both earnings and revenues while indicating progress in developing an improved hepatitis C treatment.

Expedia (EXPE 55.21, +9.50) was the top S&P 500 performer, up nearly 21% after earnings and revenue surprised to the upside.

Starbucks (SBUX 47.42, -4.98) and Amazon (AMZN 237.32, +17.31) both reported disappointing earnings. Despite negative results from the two, their stocks saw drastically different market reaction. Down 9.5%, Starbucks was the main S&P 500 laggard on the day. Amazon however, was one of the session leaders, up 7.9%.

European markets ended Friday on a positive note with Spain's IBEX gaining 3.9% and Italy's MIB posting a 2.9% advance. Afternoon buying pushed France's CAC to a 2.3% gain.

The yield on Spain's 10-yr government debt ended the week at 6.74% after declining by 18 basis points.

Lifted by Mario Draghi's comments, the euro posted an advance on the week, settling around 1.2300.

A busy week of earnings and European volatility.

Looking back on the week, Monday started with reports suggesting Greece may see its aid cut off if the country fails to meet its commitments. Both Italy and Spain announced short-selling bans which had their U.S. listings under pressure. Traders continued to watch peripheral yields as both the Italian and Spanish 10-yr yields were up close to 20 basis points at their respective 6.31% and 7.40%., during the day. In corporate news, McDonald's (MCD 89.18, +0.18) missed expectations as headwinds from overseas and rising costs of food products weighed on results. The S&P 500 fell 0.8% on Monday. After the bell, Moody's placed the ‘AAA' ratings of Germany, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands on ‘negative watch.'

Tuesday saw the S&P 500 and Nasdaq decline at nearly 1% each. The day's action was driven by slim earnings outperformance coupled with lowered full year guidance from multiple firms. China's HSBC Flash Manufacturing PMI rose to 49.5 (48.2 previous), but the reading still pointed to a contraction in the manufacturing sector of the world's second largest economy. After the bell, tech giant Apple (AAPL 585.16, +10.28) missed earnings and revenue estimates, and also slashed their guidance for the upcoming quarter. Apple fell over 4% the following day.

Wednesday began with mixed earnings and a new home sales reading that missed expectations. Egan Jones issued a downgrade of Italy's sovereign rating to CCC+ from B+. Earnings season continued as Zynga (ZNGA 3.09, -0.09) was one of the weakest performers following a second quarter loss and slowing revenue growth. Its shares fell almost 40%. The S&P 500 was near the unchanged mark on the day.

Thursday morning saw a sharp increase in futures at around 7:00 AM ET following comments from Mario Draghi. Mr. Draghi is being quoted as saying "sharing national sovereignty on EU level to come" and that the European Central Bank is "ready to do whatever it takes to preserve the euro." The S&P 500 soared nearly 2% on these comments. At day's end, the much anticipated earnings from Facebook (FB 23.70, -3.14) crossed the wires. The company reported earnings that were mostly in line, but the stock fell nearly 10% in the after-hours session as the company failed to give any guidance on the conference call.

Earnings season in full-swing; bottom-line beats remain prevalent while top-line performance weakens.

The second heavy week of second quarter earnings season has established a trend which started appearing last week. Nearly 300 companies in the S&P 500 have reported second quarter results thus far. Roughly two thirds of them have beat earnings estimates; this is down modestly over last quarter.

However, the Street is more focused on the fact that nearly 60% of the firms have missed top line expectations. That figure was below 30% at this juncture during the first quarter earnings season.

Next week, over 800 companies are expected to report quarterly earnings. This includes more than 100 from the S&P 500. A majority of the largest firms have already reported their quarterly results. As such, the statistics regarding earnings surprises tend to trail lower as the reporting season progresses.DJ30 +187.73 NASDAQ +64.84 SP500 +25.95 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1921/2.04 bln/566 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2568/913.1 mln/492

3:30 pm : Crude oil rose for a fourth consecutive session as it followed gains in the broader markets. It dipped into negative territory to its pit session low of $89.29 per barrel in morning action but quickly recovered. The energy component popped to a session high of $90.53 per barrel in afternoon action and settled with a 0.8% gain at $90.15 per barrel. Despite the recent strength, crude settled the week 0.9% lower.

Natural gas spent its entire pit session in the red. It slid below the $3.00 per MMBtu level in afternoon action, but a rally heading into the close cut some of its losses. Natural gas settled at $3.03 per MMBtu for a weekly loss of 1.6% despite yesterday's better-than-expected inventory data.

Gold and silver slid off their respective session highs of $1628.60 per ounce and $27.85 per ounce set moments after pit trade opened in response to a rally in the dollar following GDP data. The metals reacted again to numerous European headlines regarding Greek debt and efforts to safeguard the euro.

Despite a volatile day, both metals closed their sessions modestly higher. Gold booked a 2.2% weekly gain as it closed at $1618.30 per ounce, while silver settled at $27.50 per ounce, or 0.7% higher than last week's closing price.DJ30 215.43 NASDAQ 65.29 SP500 +28.02 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1663/1654.6/5634 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2543/593 mln/502

3:00 pm : Heading into the final hour of the session, stocks are maintaining their gains. The Nasdaq leads the three main indices with a 2.1% gain. The S&P 500 and Dow are not far behind, advancing 1.9% and 1.5% respectively.

Looking to next week, over 800 companies are expected to report quarterly earnings. This includes more than 100 from the S&P 500. A majority of the largest firms have already reported their quarterly results. As such, the statistics regarding earnings surprises tend to trail lower as the reporting season progresses.DJ30 +193.71 NASDAQ +59.43 SP500 +25.39 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1884/1.52 bln/576 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2514/538.1 mln/504

2:30 pm : Stocks are slowly coming off session highs that were reached following reports the European Central Bank was considering the possibility of additional measures to alleviate the region's sovereign debt crisis. The Nasdaq paces the advance, up nearly 1.9%.

The afternoon rise in equities has been especially pronounced in the financial sector. Following the European reports, the SPDR Financial Select Sector ETF (XLF 17.75, +0.26) climbed off its midday high of $14.65 to nearly $14.80. Citigroup (C 27.11, +0.83) and Goldman Sachs (GS 100.96, +2.91) are seeing gains of 3.4% and 3% respectively.DJ30 +180.35 NASDAQ +55.16 SP500 +23.40 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1872/1.41 bln/582 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2513/495.2 mln/498

2:00 pm : Equities are extending their gains following reports out of Europe. The S&P 500 added 10 points after a news report indicated European Central Bank President Mario Draghi is considering additional easing measures.

In the wake of the report, the volatility index, or VIX, has declined to 16.62 which is its lowest level in a week.DJ30 +204.76 NASDAQ +58.99 SP500 +25.33 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1862/1.31 bln/574 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2553/449.3 mln/443

1:30 pm : After reaching session highs in the last half hour, stocks are holding firm.

Health care is one of the top sectors today with Gilead Sciences (GILD 55.22, +3.54) outperforming the rest of the pack. The company beat on both earnings and revenues while indicating progress in developing an improved hepatitis C treatment.

Drug maker Merck (MRK 44.98, +1.65) also exceeded expectations, and saw its shares rise to the highest level of the year.DJ30 +121.32 NASDAQ +53.30 SP500 +22.41 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 1822/1.15 bln/599 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 2517/380.1 mln/455

1:00 pm : U.S. markets are extending their gains for a second consecutive day as investors received a stronger-than-expected GDP report and mixed corporate earnings.

The yield on Spain's 10-yr government debt declined to 6.74%.

Following yesterday's 20% gain sparked by a revenue beat, Sprint Nextel (S 4.25, +0.20) is trading 4.4% higher this morning.

After yesterday’s earnings, Facebook (FB), Amazon (AMZN), and Starbucks (SBUX) will be in focus.

Michigan Sentiment – Final will be released at 9:55 AM ET.

09:01 am : [BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: +6.30. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +9.50. Thursday's broad rally followed through into the Asian Session. The Hang Seng rallied 2%, while the Japan's Nikkei advanced by nearly 1.5%.

Shipping companies were one of the beneficiaries of the rally in Japan. The country's second-biggest steelmaker, JFE Holdings, reported favorable profits as well as improved guidance. As a result, the firm's shares rose 7%.

Automakers also posted advances. Honda and Toyota added 3.8% and 2.2% respectively while Nissan gained 2.8% despite a reported drop in quarterly profit.

In London, Barclays beat earnings expectations and the stock responded with a 6.8% gain.

France's CAC is being lifted by tire producer Michelin and carmaker Renault. The two stocks are rising 7.4% and 6.2% respectively.

In response to slowing demand, German steelmaker ThyssenKrupp announced plans to temporarily reduce working hours at their facilities. Despite the news, which clouds the outlook for the company, shares are advancing 3.3%.

Following a stronger-than-expected second quarter U.S. GDP report, the euro has weakened against the dollar. After touching a session high near 1.2320, the common currency fell to 1.2280.

08:31 am : [BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: +7.50. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +8.20. The advance GDP reading for the second quarter suggested the economy grew at a 1.5% rate in the second quarter when an increase of 1.2% had been expected, on average, among economists polled by Briefing.com. The first quarter chain deflator reportedly increased by 1.6%, which is same as the 1.6% increase that had been broadly anticipated.

08:00 am : [BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: +3.50. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +2.70. Following Thursday's rally in the U.S. and Europe, stocks failed to maintain their exuberance in early European trading. After a slow morning, France's CAC spiked nearly 1% on reports by French ‘Le Monde' of a possible asset purchase program by the European Central Bank. The program, aimed at reducing borrowing costs of Italy and Spain would involve secondary market purchases of government bonds of the two nations.

The spike in the CAC was not followed with a corresponding rise in the German DAX. This was likely due to the Bundesbank spokesman announcing the central bank's opposition to further asset purchases by the European Central Bank.

After Thursday's closing bell, a few notable companies released their earnings for the past quarter. Notably, Facebook (FB) reported in-line earnings, but a lack of guidance contributed to the stock shedding nearly 10% in after-hours trading.

Starbucks (SBUX) is also seeing losses close to 10% before today's open. The decline was caused by the firm's earnings and revenue misses.

Ahead of the U.S. open, investors await second quarter GDP growth, which is set to be released at 8:30 AM ET. In addition, the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index for July will be released at 9:55 AM ET.

U.S. futures are pointing to a slightly higher open.

06:50 am : [BRIEFING.COM] S&P futures vs fair value: +2.00. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +1.00.

06:50 am : Nikkei...8566.64...+123.50...+1.50%. Hang Seng...19274.96...+382.20...+2.00%.

06:50 am : FTSE...5575.74...+2.60...0.00. DAX...6578.14...-4.80...-0.10%.
