Traders Commentary:

We were in the SPY puts for the Supreme Court announcement, but when there was no follow-thru on Thursday, we sold them for a small profit. However, we were protected on the downside. The overnight headlines that have driven this market are still here. For this reason we have only small positions at weeks end. The only reliable action from the Eurozone to date is that they have not been reliable in following through on promises so I’m still a cynic on their performance. Even if they do, in fact make real headway it will still take time to implement. Iran, Syria, and the China slowdown are all still out there and weekends, and a very short week coming up are all reasons for caution….CAM

This Weeks’ Economic Numbers and Media Data

 

Fundamentals

A minor miracle has occurred. Germany has signaled that it may be willing to do what it takes to save the euro.

In negotiations that lasted through last Thursday night, German Chancellor agreed to allow Europe’s permanent bailout fund — the European Stability Mechanism — to provide capital directly to troubled banks anywhere in the euro area. The growth package is worth at least 120 billion euros with the door open for more contingencies. The dollar collapsed falling from 83 to 81.50 from Thursday late to Friday’s close. Angela Merkel surprised everyone and caught the market very short. They are still too short. The Greenback  50-day m.a. will be tested at 81.25.

If the deal sticks, Germany and the other governments of the currency union will accept joint liability for rescuing one another’s banks — an option that, on the eve of the meeting, Merkel had vowed not to consider. In return, as part of a broader banking union, governments will cede to European authorities, probably including the European Central Bank, the power to oversee, punish and dismantle banks. The agreement also eases austerity measures and allows for direct bond purchases to reduce the borrowing costs of struggling governments, including Spain and Italy. This is much better for the euro nations than the creation of a bond.

The rally caused the Dow to recover 487 points of the 886 lost in May, about 55%. Transports catapulted the way up 144 pts or 2.48% to 5182.75, reversing serious losses, which when considering Thursday’s low of 4967, made a complete turn-around leaving both the 200 day moving average, the 50 day m.a. as well as the bears in its wake. The Transports are just 100 points shy of the May highs which could be easily taken out.

All ten Dow Industrial Groups were higher led by Oil and Gas, up 4.99%.

Industrials gained 2.68% and Basic Materials 2.68%.

Financials followed suit plus 2.15%;

Utilities gained 1.92%;

Health Care 1.74%;

Consumer Services 1.70%;

Consumer Goods 1.56%;

Telecommunications 1.39% and

Technology 1.02%.

 

The CRB Commodity Index rallies 4.6% for its best single-session gain in three years. Crude was one of the main primary drivers after making a new intra-day low at $ 77.28 to close the week at $ 84.96.

 

Economic Data

Pending Home Sales were unbelievable increasing 5.5%, a huge and welcome surprise to the beleaguered housing industry which of late is showing signs of life.

Durable Goods scored an increase of 1.1% for May much better that expectations of 0.5% gain and the previous month decline of 0.2%. Initial Unemployment Claims at 386K were an improvement, 6,000 less than last week. Personal Income for May rose 0.2% the same as in April while Core pricing was exactly the same increasing 0.1%.

May Personal Income increased 0.2% a little better than the 0.1% consensus and the June PCE reading of +0.1% was exactly in line with expectations and last month. The Chicago PMI Report at 52.9 was near the consensus of 53.0. but the market was relieved that it was no lower and stocks galloped ahead.
