Concise Highlights   

Even with the mixed international and weakish US economic data Tuesday morning, the US equities felt it was time to violate near term topping activity to put in another aggressive upside rally extension. It was most interesting that this was only followed by a modest consolidation Wednesday on what was good better data, yet holding another key elevated technical threshold (more on all that below.) This morning’s equities strength on weakish Services PMI’s out of everywhere from Asia (except Chinese HSBC Services PMI) right through Europe (except a bit of improvement in Italy) raises a classical question: Are the equities back in a bad news is good news psychology?

That would be a fairly reasonable psychology with most central banks (except the BoE) still in a very accommodative mood. Aside from any further assumptions on the degree to which that might stimulate the global economy (belied by very weak corporate capital spending plans), it does still encourage the yield chase into riskier assets. We should know more soon based on the market response to this morning’s ECB press conference and even more so the very critical US Employment report.

_____________________________________________________________

Video Timeline: It begins with macro (i.e. fundamental influences) discussion of some of the factors noted above plus revisiting our focus on the importance of the US Employment report and that this morning also sees the US Non-Manufacturing PMI’s. It also reminds once again that the ECB meeting is not likely to be very radical after the major moves at last month’s meeting, and both that and the likely far more influential US Employment report impact the markets into an early US Fourth of July pre-holiday Close today.

It moves on to the SEPTEMBER S&P 500 FUTURE short-term trend view at 02:30 and intermediate term at 05:35, then the OTHER EQUITIES from 07:00, with GOVVIES analysis beginning at 10:00 (with an expanded view of the weekly Bund future chart) and SHORT MONEY FORWARDS at 15:30. That is followed by the US DOLLAR INDEX at 18:45 and only mention of most other FOREIGN EXCHANGE (so heavily analyzed Tuesday) but with a view of AUD/USD at 20:50 due to its recent sharp moves, and EUR/AUD as the only commensurately interesting CROSS RATE at 23:10, with a return to SEPTEMBER S&P 500 FUTURE at 24:00 for a final view and additional perspective. We suggest using the timeline cursor to access the analysis most relevant for you.

Concise Highlights   

Even with the mixed international and weakish US economic data Tuesday morning, the US equities felt it was time to violate near term topping activity (more on that below) to put in another upside extension. This was likely at least partially the flows that we mentioned previous need to be put to work at the top of each quarter. Yet it was also likely at least some degree of the continued recent FED-phoria along with so many other central banks’ accommodative stances helping the equities. In any event, for right now that seems to have trumped any of the international geopolitical concerns or still weak economic readings out of Europe. More of the same was apparent in this morning’s lower than expected Euro-zone Producer Price Index. So even if Europe is so clearly lagging the outlier strong sister US, it appears that after the recent modest reactions the bulls are still in the driver’s seat… but to where?

_____________________________________________________________

Video Timeline: It begins with macro (i.e. fundamental influences) discussion of some of the factors noted above and below plus revisiting our focus on the importance of the top-of-the-month investment flows from dividends and bond yields. That tends to be a constructive factor for equities as was glaringly apparent yesterday. Today also still brings the US ISM New York and Factory Orders. It also notes that the ECB meeting is not likely to be very radical after the major moves at last month’s meeting, and both that and the likely far more influential US Employment report impact the markets into an early US Fourth of July pre-holiday Close tomorrow.

It moves on to the SEPTEMBER S&P 500 FUTURE short-term trend view at 03:00 and intermediate term at 05:40, then the OTHER EQUITIES from 07:15, with GOVVIES analysis beginning at 12:00 (with an expanded view of the weekly Bund future chart) and SHORT MONEY FORWARDS at 17:00. That is followed by only mention of FOREIGN EXCHANGE at 20:35 (as it was so heavily analyzed Tuesday) but with a CROSS RATES discussion at 21:50 that includes a view of an expanded EUR/GBP weekly chart to review the critical nature of .8000-.7950, and a return to SEPTEMBER S&P 500 FUTURE at 24:00 for a final view and additional perspective. We suggest using the timeline cursor to access the analysis most relevant for you.

Concise Highlights   

With the data improving a bit again and the immediate impact of the geopolitical stress fading for now (even if still a risk factor), the recent FED-phoria along with other central banks’ accommodative stances is helping the equities. That is based in part on the US returning to economic data that is a bit better than expected as the important early month influences unfold this week. All of the US end-of-month readings Monday were good, and the global PMI’s so far this morning are at least passingly firm. So it seems the equities might be back in a state where ‘good news is good news’ if the Fed is really going to remain accommodative for longer than was expected into the last FOMC meeting. In spite of some other members’ comments and outside organizations’ opinions (most recently the Bank for International Settlements), the Fed Chair tends to dominate the psychology and actual rate decisions. Better data in conjunction with a still highly accommodative central bank is going to encourage equities strength, even if it is shown to be a bit of a bubble again later. So what could possibly negate that?

Video Timeline: It begins with macro (i.e. fundamental influences) discussion of some of the factors noted above plus the importance of the top-of-the-month investment flows out of dividends and bond yields. That tends to be a constructive factor for equities as they head into today’s US Manufacturing PMI and Construction Spending. It also notes that the ECB meeting is not likely to be very radical after the major moves at last month’s meeting. Yet both that and the US Employment report impact the markets into an early US Fourth of July pre-holiday Close on Thursday.

It moves on to the SEPTEMBER S&P 500 FUTURE short-term trend view at 01:45 and intermediate term at 05:10, then mention of the OTHER EQUITIES from 06:00, with mentions of the GOVVIES and SHORT MONEY FORWARDS at 06:40. FOREIGN EXCHANGE begins with the US DOLLAR INDEX at 07:50, EUROPE at 09:30, ASIA at 12:00 and the CROSS RATES at 15:30 (with a view of extended weekly EUR/GBP chart) prior to the return to SEPTEMBER S&P 500 FUTURE at 20:25 for a final view and additional perspective.

Concise Highlights   

We had cautioned that FED-phoria and other confidence in central banks’ accommodative approach right now might not be enough to overcome the sort of problems which those central bank efforts do not address, the equities downside reaction has been rather contained to this point. The specific worry impacting the equities of late (and assisting fixed income) is the apparent lack of any reasonable expectation the situation in Iraq can be resolved by the formation of the ‘unity’ government the US and West so strongly desire. That is of course more than just a political consideration. As we have seen, it is a direct influence in keeping crude oil prices high for now. For more on that see our Thursday post “Humpty Iraqi had a great fall”, which was the more specific follow on to our general concerns laid out in the previous Friday’s “Is the S&P 500 Psych TOO Bullish?” Even with all of that said, the central bank psychology underpinning the equities meant it was likely they would attract buying on the initial setbacks. The bigger question is what happens as the situations in various global geopolitical trouble spots evolve.

_____________________________________________________________

Video Timeline: It begins with macro (i.e. fundamental influences) discussion of the mixed-to-weak international data (including soft Euro-zone inflation figures that remain a concern) heading into the US Chicago PMI and Dallas Fed Manufacturing Index. It also notes much more prominent data and events from Tuesday’s beginning of this week’s global PMI’s right into both the ECB and US Employment report with an early US Fourth of July pre-holiday Close on Thursday.

It moves on to the SEPTEMBER S&P 500 FUTURE short-term trend view at 02:00 and intermediate term at 04:15, then mention of the OTHER EQUITIES from 05:35, with the GOVVIES beginning at 09:30 and SHORT MONEY FORWARDS at 15:30. FOREIGN EXCHANGE only includes the mention of the US DOLLAR INDEX and its relationship to other currencies at 18:40, moving on to the CROSS RATES with a mention of EUR/GBP at 20:25, with a return to SEPTEMBER S&P 500 FUTURE at 21:00 for a final view and additional perspective. We suggest using the timeline cursor to access the analysis most relevant for you.

Global View: All Markets  

While we had cautioned FED-phoria and other confidence in central banks’ accommodative approach right now might not be enough to overcome the sort of problems which those central bank efforts do not address, the equities downside reaction has been rather contained to this point. The specific worry that seems to have impacted the equities is the apparent lack of any reasonable expectation the situation in Iraq can be resolved by the formation of the ‘unity’ government the US and West so strongly desire. That is more than just a political aspect, as failure has the ability to affect energy prices as well. For more on that see our Thursday post “Humpty Iraqi had a great fall”, which was the more specific follow on to our general concerns laid out in last Friday’s “Is the S&P 500 Psych TOO Bullish?” Even with all of that said, the central bank psychology underpinning the equities meant it was likely they would attract buying on this initial setback. The bigger question is what happens as the situations in various global geopolitical trouble spots evolve.

_____________________________________________________________

Video Timeline: It begins with macro (i.e. fundamental influences) discussion of some of the factors noted above and below plus the firm Japanese data this morning being offset by weak Chinese and Euro-zone indications. There is also a lack of any US economic data today other than Michigan Sentiment. That is important heading into a much more prominent data and event week next week that includes both the ECB and US Employment report into an early US Fourth of July pre-holiday Close next Thursday.

It moves on to the SEPTEMBER S&P 500 FUTURE short-term trend view at 02:30 and intermediate term at 04:40, then the OTHER EQUITIES from 06:30, with GOVVIES analysis beginning at 11:10 and SHORT MONEY FORWARDS at 17:55. FOREIGN EXCHANGE begins with the US DOLLAR INDEX at 22:00, jumping over to EUROPE at 23:15 and ASIA at 25:30, followed the CROSS RATES at 29:00 (with an expanded EUR/GBP weekly chart to review the critical nature of .8000-.7950), and a return to SEPTEMBER S&P 500 FUTURE at 33:50 for a final view and additional perspective. We suggest using the timeline cursor to access the analysis most relevant for you.
