Stock Futures Rebound on Lack of Bad News From Europe. Stocks to Watch: AVP, GRPN, ZNGA, SIRI, TEVA, AMLN, PSTI

May 15, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Stock FuturesInvestors are getting a bit of breathing room this morning after Germany’s GDP numbers surprised to the upside. Of course this means ignoring the downgrade spree the S&P went on with Italian banks after the close yesterday. Dow futures are currently up 61. Nasdaq and S&P futures are also pointing to a higher opening, both adding 20 and 9 points respectively.

Check out Penny Stock Strategy for the latest coverage of penny stocks.

The German statistics agency reported that country returned to a growth footing in the first quarter, with GDP rising by.5%. The consensus was for a .1% increase. Italy’s GDP fell.8% confirming the country was back into recession territory.

In the ongoing Greek soap opera some officials floated the idea of a technocrat government. This is obviously designed to push through IMF and ECB reforms so it is doubtful the anti-bailout parties would sign off. Much less the populace.

Asia markets fell overnight as they reacted to the market moves in both the US and Europe. Investors continue to fret over the possibility of a Greek exit from the EU.

Data wise, investors can expect a packed slate today. At 8:30am EST, consumer price index and retail sales reports will be released. At 10am EST, inventories and a homebuilding index will be released.

As long as nothing new or catastrophic develops out of Europe, expect the data to be the market driver today vs headlines from Europe. [Read more...]

May 14, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Wall StreetEurope. Nothing conjures up more heartburn for investors than that continent these days. A trifecta of troubling news coming out of the EU this morning is sending the US markets down sharply. Rumblings of a Greek exit from the EU are reaching a fever pitch, while Spanish and Italian yields are once again on the rise.

Check out Penny Stock Strategy for the latest coverage of penny stocks.

The cost of insuring against a Spanish default is now higher than Hungary. Couple that with Germany’s regional election over the weekend which saw Merkel’s party finish a distant second, and you can see why the trepidation over Europe is building once again.

Currently the three major domestic indices are near their session lows. The Dow is down 138, the Nasdaq 29 and the S&P 15. [Read more...]

Stock Futures Steady After Six Session Losing Streak. Stocks to Watch: CSCO, AVP, ALU, TSLA, PANL, RENN, CEDC

May 10, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Stock FuturesAfter a six session losing streak, stock futures are rebounding this morning on jobless claims numbers and the lack of bad headlines out of Europe.

Dow futures are currently up 43 points. Nasdaq and S&P futures are following the index higher, both up 10 and 9 points respectively.

The big economic data point for US markets today is jobless claims. Printing at 367k it is mostly in line with expectations. Last week’s number was revised up to 368k, so that accounts for the 1k drop in claims. The 4 week rolling average dropped 5k to 379k.

In Europe, the markets are stabilizing after a week of turbulent trading. Most analysts think Greece is heading for a fresh round of elections in June, as none of the parties can find enough seats to form a ruling coalition. This puts the next bailout payment in jeopardy as EU countries may be unwilling to continue their support to a country without a functioning national government.

In commodities oil prices are rebounding on the macro data. After slipping below the $00 per barrel mark, Nymex crude futures are up 33 cents to $97.14. [Read more...]

Wall StreetThe street is taking hits from all sides today. The FOMC minutes yesterday. The Spanish auction today. All the ingredients for a sharp sell off and that’s what we are are seeing intraday. Just when you thought Europe was being saved you get the news; nope, still an ongoing concern. At least today we don’t have to hear about Greece. It is all about Spain and their budgetary concerns coupled with a weak bond auction.

Decliners are leading the advancers by a 6-1 margin. Current market action is decidedly to the downside. The Dow is giving up 163 points, the Nasdaq 52 and the S&P 500 17.

Not every stock is mired in the red today. There are some advancers. [Read more...]

Other economic data to watch for for are car sales numbers and factory orders. Release times for those are 9am and 10am respectively. Chrysler has already reported that US sales are up 34% for their best tally in four years.

Internationally, Europe is is becoming a growing concern again. This time the focus is on Spain and their austerity measures. The concern is that their austerity will hamper growth, which in turn will limit its ability to pay back debt. This is based off the facts that austerity has been proven time and again not to work over in Europe. Only a matter of time at this point before the bailout talk regarding Spain begins in earnest.

Asia was a mixed bag overnight as Hong Kong rallied on US manufacturing news, while Japan slipped on the back of a stronger Yen. [Read more...]

Dow futures are trading higher, up 68 points to 13,146. Nasdaq 100 futures are slightly negative along with the S&P 500 futures. Both are down 2 points and .75 points respectively.

After a near record-setting pace of the first quarter, investors are looking for confirmation of their perception on the economy. ISM numbers and the construction spending report are both slated for release at 10am EST. Analysts are expecting a rise in the ISM number despite regional weakness in recent reports.

Some analysts are starting to wonder if this will be a repeat of last year. We had a top around this point and then a low set in September. That is the reason the data has to quit missing expectations if the rally is expected to continue. Plus global concerns remain in the mix.

In Europe, Spanish and Italians markets are being heavily his in trading. Both are down over 1%. Other EU markets are drifting lower.

An official survey out of China on manufacturing showed a much better than expected improvement in March. This flies in the face of HSBC survey and one has to question the validity of the government’s survey. [Read more...]

Futures Look For Direction After German Data and Downgrades. Stocks to Watch: KORS, FRO, AVP, NFLX, RAX, AAPL, ZNGA

February 14, 2012 By Leave a Comment

Stock Futures Lower as Euro Concerns Weigh, Stocks to Watch: AVP, NVDA, AAPL, JIVE, LIVE, ECYT, MAR

December 14, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Another day, another issue with Europe. The never-ending crisis is weighing heavily on US markets after the Euro dipped below 1.30 in overnight trading. Currently the Dow Futures are off modestly at 14 points, while the Nasdaq is slightly negative, dropping 7 points. The S&P is following the same trend down 1.75.

While the Fed statement yesterday met expectations, investors were still disappointed that it did not provide a clue or signal an intent to a return of QE. This caused a broader market sell-off with all the major indices going negative. Currently European markets are negative as traders there look at this week’s bond sales in both Italy and Europe. They are especially worried about the Italian sale due to the rapid rise in yields over the past few months.

Here in the states it is a return of political brinkmanship over something that should be bi-partisan. The payroll tax cut for millions of Americans is set to expire at the end of the year and the two parties still refuse to budge. The House GOP in their normal stubborn way decided to attach a pipeline project to the extension. Just so happens this pipeline goes right over the biggest aquifer in the country. Ask the Gulf of Mexico how that turned out.

The Democrats for their part have held up the omnibus spending bill which will cause a government shutdown in the next few days unless it is passed. Toss in a presidential veto for the House version and you have all the makings of Capitol Hill holiday cheer.

Commodities are trading to the downside this morning. Most of this is due to the strengthening of the dollar against the Euro but also on economic concerns. Gold lost another 2% as it continues its downward trend while oil slipped another 1.5%.

European markets continue to take it on the chin as their crisis, while not spinning out of control, seems to be teetering once again on the edge. Major indexes in the EU are all red in afternoon trading with the banking heavy Stoxx 600 down about a percent.
