Close Market Snapshot
Thu, 23 Oct 2014 15:50 PM EST
US Indices:
- Dow Jones +1.4%
- S&P500 +1.4%
- Nasdaq +1.7%
- Indices are up sharply headed into the close, albeit off their midday highs, after a final hour scare of reported "Ebola in NYC". Industrials and Healthcare names are leading the charge, while defensive Consumer Goods and Utilities lag. TSCO, ORLY, CELG, UNP, and CAT are all up over 5%, helped by their strong respective earnings. TMK, CTXS, and LUV are down over 4% in the wake of their quarterly update.
Fixed-Income: Treasuries selloff is even most pronounced relative to its week-long trend, with the yield on the benchmark rising 5bps to its highest level since Oct 14th. 2-10 spread has also widened 3bps as markets look increasingly past last week's seizure ahead to next week's Fed decision.
- US 2-yr: +2bps at 0.39%
- 10-yr: +5bps at 2.28%
- 30-yr: +4bps at 3.04%
- 2-10 spread: +0.3% at 1.89%
Energy:
- WTI Dec crude oil $82.05; Crude Oil has erased nearly all of its overnight decline on broad-based risk on flows. The rally is somewhat constrained by overnight report that Saudi Arabia raised production in September to 9.70M bpd from 9.60M in August.
Metals:
- Spot Gold $1,231/oz; Precious metals are down for the 2nd straight day, tracking higher USD responding to higher Treasury yields. $1,226 US session low was a 1-week low.
- Spot Silver $17.20/oz; Early US session low of $17.05 was also a 1-week low.
- Dec Copper $3.04/lb; Copper broke above $3.05 in early trade, a 1-week high.
