Market Context Summaries The below summaries by
Bloomberg,
CNNMoney,
Reuters and
Yahoo! Finance helps me to do a quick review of the fundamentals,
FED/
ECB/
BOE/
IMF actions or any important global economic events (e.g.
Eurozone,
MarketWatch.com) that had an impact on today's price action in many trading instruments I monitor during the trading day. Simply, I'm a strong believer that key market events causes key changes in supply/demand and volatility resulting in
trade opportunities (swing points and strong continuation price actions) that reach profit targets. Thus, I pay attention to these key market events, intermarket analysis (e.g. Forex EurUsd, EuroFX 6E futures, Gold GC futures, Light Crude Oil (WTI) CL & Brent Oil futures, Eurex DAX futures, Euronext FTSE100 futures, Emini ES futures, Emini TF futures, Treasury ZB futures and U.S. Dollar Index futures) while using WRB Analysis from one trade to the next trade to give me the
market context for price action trading before the appearance of my
technical analysis trade signals. Therefore, I maintain these
archives to allow me to understand what was happening on any given trading day
in the past involving key market events to help better understand my trade decisions (day trading, swing trading, position trading)...something I can
not get from my broker statements alone. Further, most financial websites remove (delete) their archives after a few years to make room for new content. Therefore, I maintain my own archives of the news content so that I have it available for me when financial websites no longer archives their content.

click on the above image to view today's price action of key markets S&P 500 Erases Loss for Year as Stocks Rally for 2nd Day By Callie Bost and Michelle F. Davis Jan 8, 2015 4:50 PM ET
The Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (SPX) rallied a second day, wiping out its losses for the year, on speculation central banks will support growth even as the American economy shows signs of strength.
The S&P 500 added 1.8 percent to 2,062.14 at 4 p.m. in New York, after rallying 1.2 percent yesterday to halt a five-day selloff. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 323.35 points, or 1.8 percent, to 17,907.87, also erasing its loss for 2015. The Nasdaq 100 Index soared 1.9 percent and the Dow Jones Transportation Average climbed the most since October. More than 7.3 billion shares changed hands on U.S. exchanges, 4.8 percent above the three-month average.
“The New Year hangover has finally cleared,” said Justin Urquhart Stewart, who helps oversee about $10 billion at Seven Investment Management LLP in London. “Yesterday’s turnaround broke the negative line of falls and has given a chance to push back against poor sentiment. There should be a positive fillip to the market.”
The S&P 500 has gained 3 percent over two days, following the worst start to a year since 2008. The benchmark index has recovered more than two-thirds of its losses after tumbling 4.2 percent over the previous five days as crude oil plunged below $48 a barrel for the first time since 2009.
Equities rallied yesterday on relief that Federal Reserve minutes signaled no change in interest-rate policy and optimism over employment growth. Most central bank officials agreed their new policy guidance means they are unlikely to raise interest rates before late April and a number expressed concern inflation could remain too low.
The minutes also showed some Fed officials are concerned about risks posed by overseas economies. Policy actions by foreign central banks may help, the minutes said.
A ‘Catastrophe’Those sentiments were echoed in comments yesterday by Fed Bank of Chicago President Charles Evans.
“I don’t think we should be in a hurry to increase interest rates,” Evans said during a discussion with Lars Peter Hansen, a Nobel prize-winning economist at the University of Chicago. Later in the presentation, Evans said such a move to tighten too soon would be a “catastrophe.”
Stocks extended gains after European Central Bank President Mario Draghi said in a letter published today that central bank stimulus measures may include sovereign-bond buying. Producer prices slid more than analysts anticipated in the euro area and German factory orders fell more than forecast in November, underlining the fragile state of Europe’s economy and strengthened the case for more stimulus.
The next interest-rate decision by the ECB is scheduled for Jan. 22 when officials will consider a quantitative-easing package that will probably include buying government bonds. Policy makers disagree about whether action is required, with some arguing deflation risks have increased and others pointing to the stimulating effects of lower prices on the economy.
Jobs ReportThe weakness overseas contrasts with growing signs of strength in the U.S. Data today showed fewer Americans filed for unemployment benefits last week. Jobless claims decreased by 4,000 to 294,000 in the week ended Jan. 3, the Labor Department said today in Washington.
Labor Department figures tomorrow are projected to show payrolls climbed by 240,000 in December, which would put the gain in employment for all of 2014 at 2.89 million, the most since 1999, according to the median estimate of economists surveyed by Bloomberg. The jobless rate is forecast to drop to 5.7 percent, making it the lowest since June 2008.
“Domestically, we’re looking pretty good,” Walter Todd, who oversees just over $1 billion as chief investment officer for Greenwood, South Carolina-based Greenwood Capital Associates LLC, said by phone. “The swing factor is, will Europe be able to recover and what will the ECB do later this month?”
Commodity SharesThe Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index slid 12 percent to 17.01, bringing its two-day decline to 19 percent.
All 10 major groups in the S&P 500 rose today. UnitedHealth Group Inc. and DuPont Co. surged more than 3 percent to lead gains in the Dow.
The Dow Jones Transportation Average jumped 2.2 percent, with Union Pacific Corp., Southwest Airlines Co. and FedEx Corp. advancing at least 2.3 percent.
Raw-material producers climbed 2.4 percent. MeadWestvaco Corp. surged 5.8 percent after saying it plans to spin off its specialty chemicals business, as the packaging company responds to criticism from activist shareholder Starboard Value LP.
Energy shares advanced 2.2 percent, rising for a second day. West Texas Intermediate held steady after rebounding 1.5 percent yesterday. Oil has declined more than 50 percent since June.
QEP Resources Inc. soared 5.2 percent, while Valero Energy Corp. increased 5.7 percent. Chevron Corp. rallied 2.3 percent and Exxon Mobil Corp. climbed 1.7 percent.
Technology RallyTechnology companies in the S&P 500 gained 2.3 percent as the Nasdaq 100 Index (VIX) rose a second day, increasing 1.9 percent. Microsoft Corp. and Intel Corp. increased at least 1.9 percent.
Constellation Brands Inc. soared 4.5 percent to a record. The global seller of wine and spirits boosted its profit forecast for the year after sales of beer brands such as Modelo Especial and Corona Extra fueled growth.
Yahoo! Inc. jumped 3.4 percent. Starboard Value, also an activist investor in Yahoo, ramped up the pressure on the company in a new letter urging Chief Executive Officer Marissa Mayer to unlock value by monetizing assets -- which include stakes in Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. and Yahoo Japan Corp. -- trimming costs and exploring a combination with AOL Inc.
