Daily Report For Tuesday, Apr 14, 2009

 April 14, 2009 10:23 AM
 

(9:30am ET) Stocks in NY sank at the open following various negative reports from TV talking heads, though trade volume was weak on the Easter Monday. After the close, Goldman Sachs surprised with unusually positive revenue and earnings. Today, President Obama will be making a speech on the state of the economy. Traders are confused.

Yesterday was pretty much a lost day in the market. Very little of consequence happened. By the close, the DJIA's small loss (-25.57 -0.32% to 8057.81) offset the small gain in the S&P (+2.17 +0.25% to 858.73), while the NASDAQ (+0.77 +0.05% to 1653.31) was flat.

The Toronto Composite (+98.50 +1.07% to 9285.6) and the Toronto Venture Board (+11.89 +1.23% to 980.86) were stronger as the metal miners and goldminers enjoyed a good day.

Except for Japan's Nikkei 225 index (-0.92% to 8842.7), prices today were strong in the major international equity markets: Australia (+2.22% to 3697.9), Shanghai (+0.54% to 2557.2), Hong Kong (+4.55% to 15580.2) and India (+1.51% to 10967.2).

In Europe at 8:00am ET, France (+1.01%), Germany (+1.48%) and UK (+0.40%) were stronger, but like Japan, traders there are concerned about the implications of a General Motors bankruptcy filing if that is to happen.

In NY yesterday, seven of ten sectors were positive, with Financials (XLF +4.2%) being by far the strongest sector, led by Banks ($BKX +7.9%) as the strongest industry group. The Utilities (XLU -1.3%) and Energy (XLE -1.1%) were weakest.

For the Cara 100 companies, Teck Corp (TCK +11.0%) made more headway, followed by Brazil's Votorantim (VCP +7.9%), Aetna (AET +6.9%), India's ICICI Bank (IBN +5.5%), and Silver Wheaton (SLW +5.0%). The worst losers were Boeing (BA -5.1%) on a reported plan to cut back on production, which was surprising given the huge order back-log, and Russia's Vimpel-Communications (VIP -3.1%).

Yesterday, US Treasury yields dipped on the 30-, 10-, and 5-year series to 3.687, 2.845, and 1.791, respectively, as the long bond ($USB) regained some strength after the fall on Friday, lifting +0.93% to 127.09. The T-Bill yield dropped to 0.170.

Retail Sales in the US declined -1.1% vs an expected gain of +0.3%.

The $USD pulled back to start the week after last week's string of gains (-1.34% to 84.52), while, against the USD, the Yen (+0.28% to 99.90), Euro (+1.52% to 133.67), Pound (+1.14% to 148.51), and Cdn Loonie (+0.37% to 81.97) all made up ground.

Crude Oil ($WTIC -1.71/bbl to 52.98) pulled back, but was a little stronger this morning. Yesterday, traders had been thinking of the growing inventory levels, and they will be closely watching this week's report.

$GOLD (+$15.30/oz to 894.10) soared soon after several pundits had called for a sharp drop to 700 or 750.

Spot (cash) market prices this morning at 8:00am ET for gold, palladium, platinum and silver were: 893.20, 236, 1223, and 12.70, respectively.

DJIA futures at 8am were down -10 to 7985.

Traders are waiting for the bank stocks to move in one direction or the other here.

Johnson & Johnson just reported a small disappointment.


Trader's conference call notes:

After rallying sharply into the Easter holiday weekend, the US equity market consolidated its gains, opening lower, before rising, and closing near the best levels of the day (S&P +0.25%). Semiconductors had trouble gaining any traction (SMH -0.35%), but Financials again were very strong (XLF + 3.86%), providing an underlying bid to the market. Traders were eagerly awaiting results Tuesday morning from Goldman Sachs (GS +4.68%), wondering if the investment bank's rally had any more legs given the huge run up over the past several weeks.

Goldman bottomed in early March near 74, rising around +78% in just one month. Obviously the rate of ascent has to slow, but managers underweighted in the financial sector (or God forbid short) have to be suffering from performance anxiety, meaning finding a comfortable level to purchase the stock may be difficult, causing desperate buyers to chase the stock on strength.

Disciplined traders should use this volatility to their advantage, carefully choosing spots to initiate longs or shorts when the herd pushes the stock to low risk entry points. We were hoping to put on some near term long straddle positions if the stock sold off, leaning delta long, but also profiting from a significant (10%) earnings related sell-off in Goldman. Since the stock closed near its high, however, no position was initiated.

Note: Goldman released earnings a day early, posting earnings of $3.39 a share vs. a First Call estimate of $1.60, blowing away estimates. After a brief initial spike, GS was down -2.2% after hours.

Buy the rumor, sell the fact? Isn't that what Goldman itself is doing, floating a secondary after this big rally?

It will be important to carefully watch the action in the key Financials after Tuesday's opening hour. Gold may be poised to benefit if the market is unable to make any further headway. After all, if blowout earnings from Goldman cannot propel the market higher, what will?

Have a great day.
