151113_SPZ_CONCISE_0600Concise Highlights

While some weakness might have been expected at some point after Friday’s strong US Employment report, Monday’s drop from the opening after Friday’s December S&P 500 future holding action in the nearby 2,080-75 support. Some might say this is the natural ‘good news is bad news’ influence from the greater potential for and FOMC rate hike in December. As we have noted all week, there was an entirely different indication Monday morning from the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) Economic Outlook and Interim Economic Outlook. And it was quite downbeat, mirroring the slippage into atypical negative outlooks in all of its recent monthly Composite Leading Indicators. If you have not done so already, it is worth a look.

And that plays right into the central bank cross currents we noted Thursday morning were hitting the equities after December S&P 500 future tried to push back above 2,080-75 on Wednesday with no success. ECB’s Draghi was at the European Parliament noting more weakness there than previously acknowledged, yet Yellen & Co. was sharing views that left the impression the FOMC was likely ready to finally raise rates at its December meeting. Obviously the combination of worries about Europe and other economies while the Fed seems likely to raise rates is not positive for equities. The technical failure in the equities (revisited immediately below) seems a ‘good news is bad news’ function now.

That raises a real question over what the market response might be to the more than a bit critical US Retail Sales report. After sagging on much better US Employment indications last Friday (including the first real improvement in Hourly Earnings for quite some time) and better than expected US Wholesale Sales on Tuesday, will a strong US Retail Sales report be positive for equities? Or will it create more Fed dread regarding December?  

_____________________________________________________________

Video Timeline: It begins with macro (i.e. fundamental influences) mention of the factors noted above along with strong Employment figures spreading elsewhere. While that might be a sign that Q4 will be the recovery many have been anticipating, the next key indication will be whether  that is constructive for equities if central banks lessen accommodation.

It moves on to S&P 500 FUTURE short-term view at 03:00 and intermediate term at 05:45 with OTHER EQUITIES from 08:45 and only mention of GOVVIES from 12:15 including discussion of the BUND at 13:30, and SHORT MONEY FORWARDS from 14:00. Foreign exchange is also only mentioned, with US DOLLAR INDEX at 14:30, Europe at 15:00, ASIA at 16:00 and CROSS RATES showing weakness of the British pound at 17:00 prior to returning to the S&P 500 FUTURE short term view at 17:45.

Some might say this is the natural ‘good news is bad news’ influence from the greater potential for and FOMC rate hike in December. While that is possibly the case, the question is why that did not have more of an impact Friday?

There was an entirely different indication Monday morning which may be more so the culprit in the equities slam, US dollar stalling and the govvies stabilization: the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) Economic Outlook and Interim Economic Outlook.  And it was quite downbeat, mirroring the slippage into atypical negative outlooks in all of its recent monthly Composite Leading Indicators. If you have not done so already, it is worth a look.

While we will get back to that shortly, there are also central bank cross currents hitting the equities after December S&P 500 future tried to push back above 2,080-75 on Wednesday with no success. ECB’s Draghi was at the European Parliament noting more weakness there than previously acknowledged, yet Janet Yellen was sharing views on post-Crisis Fed monetary policy that left the impression the FOMC was likely ready to finally raise rates at its December meeting. Obviously the combination of worries about Europe and other economies while the Fed seems likely to raise rates is not positive for equities.

_____________________________________________________________

Video Timeline: It begins with macro (i.e. fundamental influences) mention of the strength of the US Employment report coming in the wake of other not so strong data last week. That said, mixed views from central bankers noted above were reinforced by the weak data out of Asia into stronger than expected US Wholesale Sales Tuesday. And positive Employment figures have spread around through Canada, the UK and Australia as well. While that might be a sign that Q4 will be the recovery many have been anticipating, the next key indication is Friday’s US Retail Sales… a key sign of any real consumer recovery.

It moves on to S&P 500 FUTURE short-term at 03:30 and intermediate term view at 05:30, OTHER EQUITIES from 07:00, GOVVIES beginning at 10:30 (with the DECEMBER BUND FUTURE at 13:45) and SHORT MONEY FORWARDS from 15:15. FOREIGN EXCHANGE covers the US DOLLAR INDEX at 17:45, EUROPE at 19:00 and ASIA at 21:30, followed by the CROSS RATES at 24:45 and a return to S&P 500 FUTURE short term view at 29:00. We suggest using the timeline cursor to access analysis most relevant for you.

151110_SPZ_GLOBAL_0645Global View: All Markets  

While some weakness might have been expected at some point after Friday’s strong US Employment report, Monday’s drop from the opening after Friday’s December S&P 500 future holding action in the nearby 2,080-75 support. Some might say this is the natural ‘good news is bad news’ influence from the greater potential for and FOMC rate hike in December. While that is possibly the case, the question is why that did not have more of an impact Friday?

There was an entirely different indication Monday morning which may be more so the culprit in the equities slam, US dollar stalling and the govvies stabilization: the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) Economic Outlook and Interim Economic Outlook. The reason it includes the interim view as well would seem to be the incorporation of monthly Composite Leading Indicators (CLI) into this major semi-annual assessment. And it was quite downbeat, mirroring the slippage into atypical negative outlooks in all of its recent monthly CLI. You can view this extensive review of both the developed and emerging economies at http://bit.ly/1QdIN1J.

Especially of note is the slideshow (enlarge to full screen) and the video of the Outlook presentation. Of particular interest in the press conference video discussion by Secretary General Angel Gurria and others is the focus from approximately 03:00 on the extreme weakness of global trade (we have noted previous), and (from 05:15) the fact that structural reform we have been so focused on all year is the only policy lever left after monetary and fiscal tools have been mostly exhausted. It is an interesting view and read; and distinct counterpoint to the euphoria from last Friday’s US Employment figures.

_____________________________________________________________

Video Timeline: It begins with macro (i.e. fundamental influences) mention of the strength of the US Employment report coming in the wake of other not so strong data earlier on Friday. That said, the economic data had been firmer overall and last Thursday’s BoE Inflation Report press conference was more dovish than expected. And it is important it is all now Q4 data as well. Yet this week’s data has weakened once again on Trade figures as we await US Wholesale Sales today. While there is other important data through the week, we suspect Friday’s US Retail Sales are very critical in the wake of the Employment report.

It moves on to S&P 500 FUTURE short-term at 03:30 and intermediate term view at 06:30, OTHER EQUITIES from 08:30, GOVVIES beginning at 11:45 (with the DECEMBER BUND FUTURE at 15:45) and SHORT MONEY FORWARDS from 17:00. FOREIGN EXCHANGE covers the US DOLLAR INDEX at 20:00, EUROPE at 22:45 and ASIA at 26:00, followed by the CROSS RATES at 28:30 and a return to S&P 500 FUTURE short term view at 31:45. We suggest using the timeline cursor to access analysis most relevant for you.

151106_SPZ_CONCISE_0645Concise Highlights

This is indeed going to be a very concise highlight this morning, because it is important to move right into how the various asset classes are positioned prior to release of the US Employment report. Anyone desiring more fundamental background review should refer to Thursday afternoon’s follow up post on the very interesting (and dovish) Bank of England Inflation Report and press conference, or our previous Global View TrendView video analysis post and Market Observations.

Yet on the markets, much is set up to be critical in front of this morning’s US Employment report in light of last month’s abysmally week indications. That even included a downward revision to August (which will be included in the Two-Month Employment Revision this morning) in addition to the major headline Non-Farm Payrolls miss at 142,000 against an estimate of 200,000. That was the report that restored the ‘bad news is good news’ psychology after the late September selloff. As we have noted extensively previous, it was the nasty news that put paid the continued Fed assertions of the likelihood of a rate hike by the end of 2015. And so today’s number is also going to be critical for that psychology.

In the event the December S&P 500 future is up near 2,100, yet with more telling support back into 2,080-75, and resistance up into 2,120 and the 2,132 lead contract futures all-time high from back in May. And the other equities are lagging the US rally now, yet still taking their lead from the US.

_____________________________________________________________

Video Timeline: It begins with macro (i.e. fundamental influences) mention of the weaker data being back almost across the board previous now turning into stronger data of late. Yet that makes the US Employment report that much more interesting and critical.

It moves on to S&P 500 FUTURE short-term view at 02:30 and intermediate term at 04:30 with only mention of OTHER EQUITIES from 06:45 and GOVVIES from 07:45 including discussion of the BUND at 09:00, and SHORT MONEY FORWARDS from 09:30. Foreign exchange is also only mentioned, with US DOLLAR INDEX at 09:45, Europe at 10:30, ASIA at 11:30 and CROSS RATES showing weakness of the British pound at 12:15 prior to returning to the S&P 500 FUTURE short term view at 12:30.

COMMENTARY (Non-Video): Thursday, November 5, 2015

Commentary: No blarney from Carney

BOEinflREPORTpcGRAPHIC-1501105It is refreshing to hear candor from a central banker. While there are times when central banks need to ‘fudge’ their communication on either the economy or their intentions for a short time, this has reached ridiculous proportions of late for some. On the other hand, the message from Bank of England Governor Carney this morning was crystal clear and on target. While he never said this in so many words, we interpret the bottom line from the Inflation Report press conference as, “Yes we were a bit more hawkish and upbeat on the economy previous. But things change; get over it.”

As he took pains to remind everyone that as he was communicating a summary view on behalf of the Monetary Policy Committee, it is possible the other members might not have shared his blunt rejection of any ‘error’ or ‘mischaracterization’ in previous BoE views. That especially pertains to the criticism of his previous perspective on late 2015 being a time when the horizon for a rate increase “will come into sharp relief.”

While it is natural for a reporter to attempt to turn this into a significant issue, the question was framed in terms of whether he regretted making that statement over the summer. His answer was quite straightforward: “No.” And he went on to note in so many words that the BoE MPC is ‘data dependent’… imagine that. A central bank that allows that conditions can change meeting to meeting, and they are willing to adapt.

For anyone who has not seen it already, the webcast archive of the Inflation Report press conference is available at http://bit.ly/1WDghFH

 

The Fed’s ‘Normalcy Bias’ problem

The Fed has a unique set of pressures we will explore in another post soon. Yet its continued insistence there is some intrinsic value to pushing up the US base rate from the ZIRP (Zero Interest Rate Policy) lows before the end of 2015 looks increasingly mindless. That is due to continued weakening of the global and even US economic data.
