Stock Futures Strong on Italian Debt Auction. Stocks to Watch: AAPL, CSIQ, GOLD, ARMH, SNY, BAC

December 28, 2011 By Leave a Comment

US futures were following news out of Europe this morning with Dow futures adding 23 points to 12,242. Nasdaq futures are also climbing, up 5.75 to 2,290. The S&P is rounding out the pre-market gains, up a modest 2.50 to 1,262.75.

All eyes are fixated on Europe this morning after short-term borrowing costs fell sharply in Italy. Their 6-month bond auction was deemed a success with yields dropping substantially. The two-year auction also saw strong interest. This could be a sign of the sovereign debt crisis easing in the EU, or it could be an outlier in what could be a another difficult year in 2012.

Economic data points from yesterday are helping to underpin equity movements. Consumer confidence numbers blew past expectations and buoyed hopes that the US would avoid a double dip recession in 2012.

Today’s data release schedule is sparse as investors gear up for the deluge of data set for release on Thursday. Jobless claim numbers, November housing and purchasing index out of Chicago are all slated for a Thursday AM release. Maximize Your Trades With Profitly

Asian markets were mostly lower overnight, though China did rebound off a 33-month low set in the previous trading session. There is increasing concern that the country is heading for a hard landing due to their cutbacks in infrastructure spending and overheating housing markets.

Europe is having a green day with the banking-heavy Stoxx 600 up half a percent. The FTSE MIB Italy Index is leading the charge among major indices, up half a percent in trading. Banking stocks are starting to recover in that index thanks to the successful bond auction.

While this is solid news for the markets at large, it has to be noted that this week has been held captive by extremely thin volume. The holidays are still in full-swing after Christmas as people gear up for New Years. A couple green days during a week like this does no mean a trend. Traders and Investors alike should watch for next week when everyone returns from vacation. Maximize Your Trades With Profitly

Business confidence numbers out of German beat expectations leading to a rise in European markets. The Stoxx 600 index was leading the markets into the green, currently up .3% in intraday trading.

Investors are waiting for EU ministers to conclude their meeting on the region’s debt crisis. There’s a lot of rumors going around about how Europe will fix their situation, but there won’t be any concrete information until the EU ministers come out and talk about what they discussed at the meeting.

“It’s still all about Europe, Europe, Europe. There are rumors and hope again that the policy makers in Europe are going to solve their problems, and there’s talk of our Fed stepping in to buy European sovereign debt,” said Nick Raich, director of research at Key Private Bank.
