Global View: All Markets  

Weak Crude Oil price responsible for equities rout?! We doubt it. While that may be the received wisdom from some quarters, it totally flies in the face of the reality of all of the major economies that benefit from lower energy prices. As we have noted extensively of late, that is due not just to lower corporate operating expenses, but also greater consumer discretionary spending that can be directed away from heating and cooling as well as transportation fuel.

If there is one aspect of these sharply lower Crude Oil prices which might be a concern for global equities, it might be the geopolitical risk engendered by the pressures on higher cost producers who are also international troublemakers. Obviously that includes Russia most prominently, followed by Iran, Venezuela and others. However, to conclude that the equities weakness is based on geopolitical ‘tail’ risk rather than recently weaker data sounds a bit far-fetched. Might it simply be that the much lower international trade turnover apparent in recent Chinese and European data is giving the equities pause?

And then there was Monday's OECD Composite Leading Indicators. While they always try to put a positive spin on their six-month forward view (in this case on the typical two-month delay from October), a closer look would indicate that upside momentum is stalling in the US while weakness remains throughout Europe, Japan and the UK with China being problematic.

_____________________________________________________________

Video Timeline: It begins with macro (i.e. fundamental influences) discussion of some of the factors noted above along with the weakness of the economic data after last Friday’s US Employment report upside blowout (interestingly with better-than-expected German Factory Orders as well.) However, most of the recent data out of Europe and especially Asia has been weaker than expected as we head into only US Wholesale Trade and Inventories along with a couple of other minor numbers today.

It moves to DECEMBER S&P 500 FUTURE short-term view at 03:10 and intermediate term at 05:35, then the OTHER EQUITIES from 07:45, with GOVVIES analysis beginning at 11:30 and SHORT MONEY FORWARDS at 16:25. FOREIGN EXCHANGE begins with the US DOLLAR INDEX at 19:40, jumping over to EUROPE at 20:30 and ASIA at 22:30, followed by the CROSS RATES at 26:00 and a return to DECEMBER S&P 500 FUTURE short term view at 28:10 for a final look and additional perspective. We suggest using the timeline cursor to access analysis most relevant for you.

Concise Highlights  

A bit earlier this morning the US Orion spacecraft was the first successful launch of its type in 42 years. The question now is whether the US equities can also achieve the ‘escape velocity’ necessary to escape the sustained intermediate term trend from the significant 2011 selloff lows? While the trend has been bullish overall, the QE vacillation by the ECB yesterday left equities under pressure prior to rebounding in the wake of its announcement AFTER the press conference ended that there would be more aggressive QE in January!! That is important for a DAX that set a new all-time high prior to slipping back below its previous June 10,050 all-time high. Whether it can exceed that once again will be a key factor as we head into the US Employment report and other data today.

If the further strength in the December S&P 500 future should carry it above the 2,075 major weekly topping line (which rises to 2,079 next week), it will likely be headed for the low-2,100 area. That would seem to imply the DAX should also be headed significantly higher if it can breach its previous all-time high. With the ECB now seemingly (finally) committed to more aggressive QE, the rest is with the US Employment response today.  

_____________________________________________________________

Video Timeline: It begins with macro (i.e. fundamental influences) discussion of some of the factors noted above along with the return to strength in some of the Asian and European economic data of late. It also notes the release of US Factory Orders and Consumer Credit data later today.

It moves on to the DECEMBER S&P 500 FUTURE short-term trend view at 02:30 and intermediate term at 05:10, with OTHER EQUITIES from 06:30, with only mention of GOVVIES and SHORT MONEY FORWARDS at 11:25. FOREIGN EXCHANGE is also only mentioned, beginning with the US DOLLAR INDEX at 12:25, EUROPE at 12:45 and Asia at 13:20 prior to returning to the DECEMBER S&P 500 FUTURE short term view at 14:30 for a final look and additional perspective.

Global View: All Markets  

SPECIAL PRE-ECB PRESS CONFERENCE EDITION: The balance of our global politico-economic perspective remains much the same as Tuesday’s assessment. With the weaker recent European economic data versus some better indications elsewhere, the ECB press conference becomes an even more major focus than usual this today. While the news out of Europe has still been weaker than expected for the most part, the equities are holding up fairly well on more upbeat indications elsewhere. And against the odds on recent economic data influences, the DAX is back near its June 10,050 all-time high. While this still represents a major negative divergence from the US equities (and now Japan) that have so markedly exceeded their late-Spring highs, it recalibrates the trend psychology.

If the further strength in the December S&P 500 future should carry it above the 2,075 major weekly topping line, it will likely be headed for the low-2,100 area. That would seem to imply the DAX should also be headed significantly higher if it can breach its previous all-time high. The reason quite a bit of this rests with the ECB is the degree to which Mario Draghi has alluded of late to the potential for a more forceful Quantitative Easing program. That would include significant direct purchases of government bonds not seen in the Euro-zone during previous ECB actions. Will he do that right away, or wait a bit? Our guess is he will continue to lay groundwork today for an early 2015 move.  

_____________________________________________________________

Video Timeline: It begins with macro (i.e. fundamental influences) discussion of some of the factors noted above along with the weakness of the economic data late last week into Monday’s weak global Manufacturing PMI’s (especially China and Germany.) It also notes the improvement of the data since then, at least outside of Europe. In addition to the critical ECB influence today, we are headed for the US Employment report tomorrow.

It moves to DECEMBER S&P 500 FUTURE short-term view at 02:35 and intermediate term at 05:15, then the OTHER EQUITIES from 06:20, with GOVVIES analysis beginning at 10:00 and SHORT MONEY FORWARDS at 16:30. FOREIGN EXCHANGE begins with the US DOLLAR INDEX at 20:00, jumping over to EUROPE at 21:00 and ASIA at 23:40, followed by the CROSS RATES at 27:40 and a return to DECEMBER S&P 500 FUTURE short term view at 31:20 for a final look and additional perspective. We suggest using the timeline cursor to access analysis most relevant for you.

Global View: All Markets  

Regardless of weaker recent economic data the equities are holding up fairly well. And that’s of note in the context of both the fixed income rallying on the weakish data, and the US Dollar Index keeping the bid on the serial weakness rotating around between the different foreign currencies. On balance the latter still feels like a bullish US dollar ‘confluence’ against the others either being through or very near their critical technical support areas. Yet in the wake of Monday’s slightly better than expected US Manufacturing PMI and NYMEX January Crude Oil finally finding a bottom after only slightly overrunning 65.00-64.25, the fixed income seems to have hit the sort of resistance from which it can react back down near term.

As the market is a creature of expectations, the short term view must allow that the economic data is also going to improve into midweek. The global Services PMI’s have been a bit less negative of late (the most critical remaining above 50.0), and Wednesday afternoon’s Federal Reserve Beige Book has sounded a bit of an upbeat note of late. However, once that is priced into the markets the ECB meeting and press conference on Thursday and US Employment report on Friday will revert to being the more prominent influences. While those are presumed to be constructive (more QE and a positive number, respectively), that is also where the real risk factors return for equities and other markets.

Video Timeline: It begins with macro (i.e. fundamental influences) discussion of some of the factors noted above along with the weakness of the economic data late last week into Monday’s weak global Manufacturing PMI’s (especially China and Germany.) It also notes the remaining data this morning being ISM New York and US Construction Spending.

It moves to DECEMBER S&P 500 FUTURE short-term view at 02:30 and intermediate term at 05:55, then the OTHER EQUITIES from 07:30, with GOVVIES analysis beginning at 12:00 and SHORT MONEY FORWARDS at 19:45. FOREIGN EXCHANGE begins with the US DOLLAR INDEX at 23:15, jumping over to EUROPE at 24:50 and ASIA at 28:40, followed by the CROSS RATES at 34:00 and a return to DECEMBER S&P 500 FUTURE short term view at 38:36 for a final look and additional perspective. As this is an especially extensive analysis due to the govvies expiration rollover discussion and extensive review of critical contingencies in foreign exchange, we suggest using the timeline cursor to access analysis most relevant for you.

Global View: All Markets  

MACRO INFLUENCE ALERT: Due to Thursday’s US Thanksgiving Day holiday, almost all end of month US data was jammed into Wednesday. Today only sees NAPM Milwaukee in the US.  However, there was still quite a bit of important data from other centers throughout the balance of the week. That makes for a very interesting finish to the month today. Due to Thanksgiving being a midweek holiday, all US markets have early Closes today, around 12:00 CST.  

And regardless of the nature of the data, there are other important influences which have impacted the markets of late. As just one example, Monday morning’s Markit Triennial Survey was a negative shock. And Tuesday’s OECD Economic Outlook that was focused on Europe pointed up the reasons it was likely to remain weak in the near term, even if it agreed with the need for the ECB’s intensified Quantitative Easing program. With a few exceptions, the economic data remains downbeat. Yet that is buffered to a goodly degree for the equities by the continued major energy price slide, which also supports govvies.

The entire OECD report and full webcast video are available on the OECD website. (link it  www.oecd.org/economy/economicoutlook.htm ) That very good (if lengthy at just under one hour) webcast recording of the discussion by OECD Chief Economist Catherine Mann is worth viewing. In fact, their analysis is easier viewing than reading. Most importantly, it highlights a very telling point for the global economy: the Euro-zone problem now is more so a lack of domestic demand than the previous lack of competitiveness. And in that it definitely supports ECB President Draghi’s current accelerated QE efforts.

_____________________________________________________________

Video Timeline: It begins with macro (i.e. fundamental influences) discussion of some of the factors noted above, weakness of Thursday’s Chinese Industrial Production and Industrial Profits offset modestly by somewhat better than expected Euro-zone end of month sentiment indicators. The bigger influence is the NYMEX JANUARY CRUDE OIL FUTURE drop from 77.00 earlier this week to 68.00 overnight (i.e. below 70.00 support.)

It moves to DECEMBER S&P 500 FUTURE short-term view at 02:00 and intermediate term at 04:00, then the OTHER EQUITIES from 06:30, with GOVVIES analysis beginning at 10:15 and SHORT MONEY FORWARDS at 16:30. FOREIGN EXCHANGE begins with the US DOLLAR INDEX at 19:45, jumping over to EUROPE at 21:50 and ASIA at 24:40, followed by the CROSS RATES at 28:40 and a return to DECEMBER S&P 500 FUTURE short term view at 32:30 for a final look and additional perspective. As this is an especially extensive analysis due to the major macro influence discussion, we suggest using the timeline cursor to access analysis most relevant for you.
