TradeTheNews.com Weekly Market Update: The
Heart of Earnings
Fri, 24 Oct 2014 16:13 PM EST
Global markets quieted down this week, allowing participants to focus on
corporate earnings and economic fundamentals. There was a glimmer of hope in
Europe, where German and Eurozone flash October manufacturing PMI data saw very
modest improvement, while officials worked hard to back away from a big battle
over France's flawed 2015 budget and discussed a potential €300 billion public
investment plan. In the US, inflation continues to stubbornly avoid showing,
with September CPI reading just about flat. The preliminary Markit October
manufacturing PMI data was a bit soft, in a reading that missed expectations
and saw its lowest level since July. Earnings season hit full stride with
corporate reports mostly leading stocks higher, though some high profile names
disappointed. For the week, the DJIA gained 2.6%, the S&P500 added 4.1% and
the Nasdaq rocketed 5.3%, marking the best gains of the year for the broader
indices.
A wave of enthusiasm spread over financial markets on Tuesday on press reports
that the ECB could start buying corporate bonds to complement its ABS purchase
program. The reports led some participants to believe that a more fleshed-out
QE program was under consideration. Two ECB members, Nowotny and Coene, poured
cold water on the stories saying the MPC had held no discussions on corporate
bond purchases.
All was quiet on the Ebola front this week until Thursday afternoon, when New
York City reported its first confirmed case of the disease. Dr. Craig Spencer
was placed in isolation at New York's Bellevue Hospital days after returning
from a volunteer stint in Guinea treating Ebola victims. Spencer had been
self-monitoring, but had also spent a fair amount out on the town before
starting to feel fatigued and feverish. Ebola treatment developers and sanitary
equipment manufacturers had traded lower this week before the announcement as
no new US cases were announced and people in Texas came out of quarantine, and
the bounce higher and Thursday and Friday was not very robust.
Amazon and IBM reported some buggy quarterly results. Amazon was sent to the
woodshed after reporting its biggest quarterly loss ever on Thursday afternoon.
The reported loss was much steeper than projected, fourth-quarter guidance was
weak and the company wrote down $170 million related to the company's Fire
Phone, widely seen as a big flop. IBM missed top- and bottom-line expectations
and cut its FY14 and FY15 forecasts, blaming a "new definition of
calculating continuing operations." This was the tenth straight quarter of
falling revenue. At the same time, IBM agreed to pay Globalfoundries $1.5
billion in cash to take its processor business off its hands.
Apple had stellar results in its third quarter. Earnings and revenue growth
were impressive and above expectations, margins were strong and iPhone
shipments were at the top end of market estimates. Note that Apple executives
warned the strengthening USD is becoming a significant headwind. The company
also launched its Apple Pay service on Monday at thousands of retail stores, with
early reports suggesting only some minor glitches that Apple has promised to
fix with a software update.
The DJIA's big junk food components, Coca-Cola and McDonalds, turned some
unhealthy third quarter numbers. Coke met earnings expectations, gross margin
was up a bit y/y, and global volumes looked good. However, the -1% volume
decline in North America was a sign of trouble, and the firm warned that it
would be below its long-term EPS growth target for 2014. McDonalds missed top-
and bottom-line expectations, the declines in worldwide comps accelerated from
Q2, and management warned October comps would remain in the red.
General Motors, Ford, and Caterpillar saw strong third-quarter results. Shares
of Caterpillar posted solid gains after its numbers crushed expectations and it
raised FY14 guidance. Gains in the firm's construction and energy equipment
sales are seeing good growth, offsetting the steep declines in mining hardware.
GM's third-quarter earnings rose 98% y/y, bolstered by strong North America and
China results. Ford's profit was better than expected, however both sales and
revenue declined on a y/y basis thanks to the impact of a big round of product
launches.
Consumer name Proctor & Gamble cleaned up nicely as first quarter results
met expectations, although revenue growth was limp. P&G also confirmed that
it would check out of the Duracell business by creating a stand-alone company,
possibly via a spin-off to shareholders. Analysts note that the unit has been
on the block for years and the company has had a hard time generating interest
in a sale. Competitor Colgate is looking tarnished after the firm warned FX
issues cut deeply in the quarter and forced the firm to reduce its full-year
guidance.
Coming into the week, the euro continued to move up off the two-year lows
against the dollar seen in early October. EUR/USD traded as high as 1.2840
until the ECB corporate bond buying story on Tuesday turned the pair around.
EUR/USD glided back down to the low 1.2600 handle on Thursday, when better
October flash manufacturing PMI data for Germany and the Eurozone helped arrest
the slide. GBP/USD held below key technical resistance in the 1.6210 area,
which corresponded the summer downtrend line in the pair. The BoE minutes saw
no changes, and speculation that they could be on the dovish side was brushed
off as MCP would not have seen the ominous September CPI inflation data at the
time of the meeting. GBP/USD had trouble retaking the 1.6100 handle.
China released the balance of its September economic data, which along with
October HSBC flash manufacturing PMI were steady but uninspiring. The Q3 GDP
reading of 7.3% was just above consensus but still a 5-year low. Industrial
output beat estimates, but power generation growth sank below 5%. Both retail
sales and fixed asset investment growth was in low double-digits, but still
marked multi-year lows. The HSBC PMI hit a 3-month high, but the output
subcomponent slowed to a 5-month lows. Finally, September housing price data
further confirmed the slowdown in the property space, as y/y prices fell 1.1%
after rising 0.5% in August. For the week, the Shanghai Composite was down 1.7%
- a second consecutive losing week after an impressive 2-month rally.
Political maneuvering in Japan is bound to become more pronounced as the
cabinet draws closer to the expected decision on the second round of
consumption tax increase, particularly with the country's economic progress
increasingly lagging. Japan confirmed its 27th consecutive month of trade
deficit this week, while the government cut its economic assessment for the
second straight month due to soft spots in consumption. Influential advisor to
PM Abe, Etsuro Honda, recommended that the next round of sales tax hikes be
delayed until 2017, however Finance Minister Aso countered that foregoing the
tax hike would jeopardize global investment trust in Japan's fiscal state.
Traders are anxiously awaiting the Bank of Japan policy decision next Friday,
as it will be accompanied by the BOJ's semi-annual Outlook Report providing the
latest forecasts for GDP and inflation. The BOJ may also justify some further
monetary policy easing to offset any fiscal strain if the tax hike is in fact
postponed.

Oct 24 2104
Another nice solid trading day with good gains. Got rinsed on one of the early trades and immediately switched to DKTK setups, to avoid the Wed type of a meat-grinder. It paid off nicely, with all kinds of winning trades ranging from scalps to 1:3ers.

01[11:50] {@Threei} Markets are choppy this morning as traders digest the New York City Ebola scare, EU bank stress test results and tons of major earnings reports. Note that comments by ECB President Draghi at the EU Leader Summit in Brussels seem to have helped lift US equities out of the red mid morning.
01[11:50] {@Threei} US new home sales rose to a six-year high in September, according to the report out this morning. The August sales - the prior six-year high - were revised much lower, down to 466K from 504K prior. Prices continue to fall.
01[11:50] {@Threei} Press reports out in the US premarket suggested that 25 banks out of 130 reviewed would fail ECB capital stress tests. More importantly, only 10 of them still face capital shortfalls. The latter group are talking with the ECB on how they plan to ameliorate the situation. This figure is slightly lower than reports out earlier this week.

01[11:50] {@Threei} Markets are choppy this morning as traders digest the New York City Ebola scare, EU bank stress test results and tons of major earnings reports. Note that comments by ECB President Draghi at the EU Leader Summit in Brussels seem to have helped lift US equities out of the red mid morning.
01[11:50] {@Threei} US new home sales rose to a six-year high in September, according to the report out this morning. The August sales - the prior six-year high - were revised much lower, down to 466K from 504K prior. Prices continue to fall.
01[11:50] {@Threei} Press reports out in the US premarket suggested that 25 banks out of 130 reviewed would fail ECB capital stress tests. More importantly, only 10 of them still face capital shortfalls. The latter group are talking with the ECB on how they plan to ameliorate the situation. This figure is slightly lower than reports out earlier this week.

Oct 23 2014
Very solid day with wins making it very worth our while. Plenty of plays on both sides and of all sizes.

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.
Key Earnings at the close:
- ALTR, AMZN, DECK, FLS, IM, JNPR, KLAC, MSFT, SYNA, VMI

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.

01[13:24] {@Threei} [GOOG] Unveils new email product, Inbox - company blog
01[13:24] {@Threei} Years in the making, Inbox is by the same people who brought you Gmail, but its not Gmail: its a completely different type of inbox, designed to focus on what really matters. Email started simply as a way to send digital notes around the office. But fast-forward 30 years and with just the phone in your pocket, you can use email to contact virtually anyone in the world - from your best friend to the owner of that bagel shop you discovered last week.With this evolution comes new challenges: we get more email now than ever, important information is buried inside messages, and our most important tasks can slip through the cracks - especially when were working on our phones. For many of us, dealing with email has become a daily chore that distracts from what we really need to do - rather than helping us get those things done.
01[13:24] {@Threei} so how is it different?

01[13:24] {@Threei} [GOOG] Unveils new email product, Inbox - company blog
01[13:24] {@Threei} Years in the making, Inbox is by the same people who brought you Gmail, but its not Gmail: its a completely different type of inbox, designed to focus on what really matters. Email started simply as a way to send digital notes around the office. But fast-forward 30 years and with just the phone in your pocket, you can use email to contact virtually anyone in the world - from your best friend to the owner of that bagel shop you discovered last week.With this evolution comes new challenges: we get more email now than ever, important information is buried inside messages, and our most important tasks can slip through the cracks - especially when were working on our phones. For many of us, dealing with email has become a daily chore that distracts from what we really need to do - rather than helping us get those things done.
01[13:24] {@Threei} so how is it different?

Oct 21 2014
Quiet but decently profitable day. Gap-n'stall, rarely good for us but still worked out fine.
_________________________________
Ahead of the Close Market Snapshot
Tue, 21 Oct 2014 15:57 PM EST
US Indices:
- Dow Jones +1.2%
- S&P500 +1.9%
- Nasdaq +2.2%
- Broad based market rally is led by Services, Healthcare, and Basic Materials, while the defensive Utilities sector is lagging the gainers. Bullish momentum in travel related names carried over from yesterday along with strength in Energy. KO, CMG, and IBM are the laggards in the SP500 in the wake of their soft earnings reports.
Fixed-Income: Treasuries reversed the overnight gains as risk-on sentiment in US has shifted some flows in favor of equities. 2-10 spread has widened marginally for the 3rd day. European periphery stress in Greece is back, with the yield on the 10-yr up 35bps at 7.45%.
- US 2-yr: +1bps at 0.35%
- 10-yr: +4bps at 2.22%
- 30-yr: +4bps at 3.00%
- 2-10 spread: +3bps at 1.87%
Energy:
- WTI Dec crude oil $82.64; Crude in consolidation mode for the past 3 days after hitting its multi-month lows below $80 last week. Comments from Algeria Oil Min earlier today hinting OPEC could take action to respond to falling prices.
Metals:
- Spot Gold $1,248/oz; Gold hit a high of $1,255 in early trade - a 6-week high - and now up $60 from the lows in the span of 2 weeks. The rebound is in part the function of lower USD, with downward inflection in the greenback against both EUR and JPY coming in the first week of the month.
- Spot Silver $17.51/oz; Silver hit 1-week high above $17.65 in early US trade before retreating to low $17.50s. $17.52 technically significant as the overnight high.
- Dec Copper $3.03/lb; Base metals are generally higher, tracking the overall market rally while shrugging the rebound in USD. Copper is at the highest level since last Wednesday.
Key Earnings at the close:
- BRCM, DFS, RHI, VMW, YHOO
Looking ahead to Asia session:
- Japan Trade Balance 19:50ET
- Australia Q3 CPI 20:30ET

01[11:21] {@Threei} Russian investigators said the driver of the snow-clearing machine was drunk and that his actions, along with "an error by air traffic controllers", appeared to have led to the crash
[11:22] {nemo} likely excuse

[11:38] {dino} roflol, good one
01[11:38] {@Threei} There were conflicting reports making the rounds earlier this morning that the ECB may have begun moving toward full-blown QE. Press reports out around 06:00ET asserted that the ECB was considering buying corporate debt on the secondary market in early 2015

Ahead of the Close Market Snapshot
Tue, 21 Oct 2014 15:57 PM EST
US Indices:
- Dow Jones +1.2%
- S&P500 +1.9%
- Nasdaq +2.2%
- Broad based market rally is led by Services, Healthcare, and Basic Materials, while the defensive Utilities sector is lagging the gainers. Bullish momentum in travel related names carried over from yesterday along with strength in Energy. KO, CMG, and IBM are the laggards in the SP500 in the wake of their soft earnings reports.
Fixed-Income: Treasuries reversed the overnight gains as risk-on sentiment in US has shifted some flows in favor of equities. 2-10 spread has widened marginally for the 3rd day. European periphery stress in Greece is back, with the yield on the 10-yr up 35bps at 7.45%.
- US 2-yr: +1bps at 0.35%
- 10-yr: +4bps at 2.22%
- 30-yr: +4bps at 3.00%
- 2-10 spread: +3bps at 1.87%
Energy:
- WTI Dec crude oil $82.64; Crude in consolidation mode for the past 3 days after hitting its multi-month lows below $80 last week. Comments from Algeria Oil Min earlier today hinting OPEC could take action to respond to falling prices.
Metals:
- Spot Gold $1,248/oz; Gold hit a high of $1,255 in early trade - a 6-week high - and now up $60 from the lows in the span of 2 weeks. The rebound is in part the function of lower USD, with downward inflection in the greenback against both EUR and JPY coming in the first week of the month.
- Spot Silver $17.51/oz; Silver hit 1-week high above $17.65 in early US trade before retreating to low $17.50s. $17.52 technically significant as the overnight high.
- Dec Copper $3.03/lb; Base metals are generally higher, tracking the overall market rally while shrugging the rebound in USD. Copper is at the highest level since last Wednesday.
Key Earnings at the close:
- BRCM, DFS, RHI, VMW, YHOO
Looking ahead to Asia session:
- Japan Trade Balance 19:50ET
- Australia Q3 CPI 20:30ET

01[11:21] {@Threei} Russian and French experts were investigating Tuesday a plane crash at a Moscow airport which killed the CEO of French oil giant Total, Christophe de Margerie, whose private jet struck a snowplough on takeoff.
01[11:21] {@Threei} Russian investigators said the driver of the snow-clearing machine was drunk and that his actions, along with "an error by air traffic controllers", appeared to have led to the crash
[11:22] {nemo} likely excuse
[11:22] {nemo} funny...Ukraine oil and gas Russia Total...nah, no coincidence
01[11:22] {@Threei} I don't think so... guy was one a few Russia supporters

01[11:38] {@Threei} Heartburn from lousing McDonalds and Coca-Cola results is not preventing markets from racking up impressive gains this morning, as traders home in on possible ECB stimulus talk and Apple's big quarter. Note that the September existing home numbers hit a one-year high.
[11:38] {dino} roflol, good one
01[11:38] {@Threei} There were conflicting reports making the rounds earlier this morning that the ECB may have begun moving toward full-blown QE. Press reports out around 06:00ET asserted that the ECB was considering buying corporate debt on the secondary market in early 2015
01[11:39] {@Threei} hmmm... I suspect Ron started writing for my newswire:
01[11:39] {@Threei} Coca-Cola is looking like a warm, flat soda this morning, with shares down 6.2% as of writing

[11:41] {dino} no kidding on. the greeks are just waiting for a refusal on a bailout, then they default and go back to their own currency
[11:41] {nemo} and that will start the cascade
[11:42] {nemo} EUFU!
[11:42] {dino} indeed. the lesson of this mess, never give up control of your currency
[11:43] {nemo} It must gaul most of Europe to have to listen to the French
[11:43] {RonS} sheesh, they are Gauls...
[11:43] {ese} am outta here...cya tomorrow L mack -.06 and rdnt +.70 rdnt 1/2 lot sold 1/2 yesterday
