Stock Futures Weak After Jobless Claims Disappoint. Stocks Watch: REGN, LOGI, EA, NUAN, MWW, ALU, SIRI

April 26, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Stock FuturesEurope is once again dominating the minds of investors on the street. A steeper than expected drop in a EU business zone gauge of confidence. Jobless claims offered little respite for investors looking for a big drop. They were little changed off the 388k level. Dow futures are currently down a modest 27 points. The Nasdaq and S&P futures are essentially flat, both dropping around 6 and 4 points respectively..

The 1k drop in jobless claims was due to the BLS upward revision from 386k to 389k. This is the highest level of claims for 2012 so far and could indicate a weakening labor market. Consensus expectations were for a 375k print so the news on the job front will disappoint investors.

Europe is trading lower this morning after yesterday’s rally. A gauge in business confidence across the EU zone saw a bigger than expected drop. The banking heaving Stoxx Europe 600 is leading the way on the downside, off .4% in late trading.

Bernanke’s press conference yesterday after the FOMC meeting left the door open for more QE, but he struck a bit more of an upbeat tone in regards to the recovery. The reaction to the Fed meeting and statements was muted among stocks. Most of the advances were credited to strong earnings from Apple and Boeing. Analysts think that sell-off in equities is over and that the Dow needs to consolidate above 13k to attract fresh buying.

In commodities, gold and oil prices are essentially flat. Oil futures are ticking up, with Nymex crude futures up 2 cents to $104.12 per barrel. Gold price futures are adding just over $8 to $1,650 per ounce. [Read more...]

Futures Fall As Greek Deal in Jeopardy. Stocks to Watch: LNKD, BAC, NFLX, AMZN, NUAN, AAPL, EXEL

February 10, 2012 By Leave a Comment

More Greek tension is on the menu today, after EU leaders refused to sign off on the new bailout until Greece approves austerity measures. Not sure what planet they live on, but if they install the new austerity measures get ready for the third bailout. Unless you are under the misguided notion that demolishing your workforce has some sort of magic power to increase government revenue. Like saying you think David Blaine is really levitating.

Futures are reacting negatively to the news with the Dow down 83 points to 12,759. Nasdaq 100 futures are right behind the Dow, off 19 points to 2,542. The S&P 500 is rounding out the pre-market declines, down 11 points to 1,337.

Yesterday Greek political leaders agreed to a draft proposal – read an idea in abstract, not an actual plan – to cut debt to 120% of GDP. This also included a 22% cut in minimum private wages. Predictably, unions in the country immediately called for a 48-hour general strike. Social unrest is also being threatened.

European markets have reacted negatively to the news, with the Stoxx 600 Index off nearly a percent in intraday trading. Asian markets also closed mostly lower.

Domestically, the University of Michigan consumer sentiment numbers are expected to be released at 9:55am EST. Also Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke is expected to discus the state of the US housing market at the National Association of Homebuilders International Builders’ Show in Orlando, FL.

Commodities are getting hit in the risk-off mood this morning. Nymex crude futures are down over a dollar to $98.40. Oil is getting hammered after the International Energy Agency lowered its global oil demand outlook from 1.1 million barrels to 800k barrels per day.
