Manufacturing survey next week could be crucial for stock market quoting : "Business Insider"

noreply@blogger.com (jack luxor) — Sun, 16 Jul 2017 10:44:00 +0000

The Empire State Manufacturing Survey data is due out Monday before the market opens, and economists surveyed by FactSet are forecasting a month-over-month decline. "Manufacturing data is a bellwether for the health of the manufacturing sector and the entire economy. We have seen manufacturing data pick up in June, and analysts are very positive of manufacturing data going forward," Sanchez said Friday, adding that strong numbers would point to a backdrop that is positive for earnings going forward, particularly in the manufacturing sector. This movement and trouble for bond market liquidity followed the release of disappointing retail sales, Producer Price Index and Empire manufacturing data, the authors wrote. The shipments and inventories measured in the survey often serve as a marker for the health of the manufacturing landscape, as well as economic activity.

Trump Jr.'s attorney, Alan Futerfas, said Friday that Trump Jr. had not disclosed all the facts of the meeting because it "concerns events that occurred 13 months ago that were considered insignificant at the time and essentially forgotten."

The Stock Market Has Entered Bizarro World quoting : "Fortune"

noreply@blogger.com (jack luxor) — Fri, 07 Jul 2017 04:25:00 +0000

The idea of commodity indexing has been mostly discredited, but it's interesting that only commodity indexing was discredited, not all indexing. And so people began to invest in commodity index swaps, swap agreements that gave exposure to a broad basket of commodity prices. Equities have been considered an asset class for decades, and index funds have been around for a lot longer than commodity index swaps. The stock market has entered Bizarro World, and nobody really knows why, but they suspect that this is all somehow related to indexing, which, as a strategy, has attracted trillions of dollars in assets under management. As you can imagine, there was as much hate and discontent about commodity index swaps back then as there is about exchange-traded funds today.

So when I say that the stock market is at an all-time high, we've picked up in market value almost $4 trillion since November 8th, which was the election. His speech suggests the market value for the S&P 500 is now about $22.4 trillion, up roughly 22% since the elections. President Trump Claimed the Stock Market Has Added $4 Trillion in Value Since His Election.

There's one big reason the stock market is becoming Trump-proof

It's important to note that during that period, the stock market was being underpinned by unprecedented monetary stimulus from the Federal Reserve that made it extremely cheap to borrow money. While corporate profit expansion certainly boosts share appreciation, the US stock market showed the ability to recover even when mired in a five-quarter contraction from 2015 to 2016. It marks the third straight quarter of earnings growth for the S&P 500. "If you're a long-term investor, and fundamentals haven't really changed to the negative, there's no reason to panic," said Sichel. "But the underpinning of good, strong corporate earnings still makes stocks a good place to be — as long as you can put up with some increased volatility."

"Business Line" : Oil market 'almost balanced' despite rising US supply: IEA

noreply@blogger.com (jack luxor) — Tue, 16 May 2017 16:14:00 +0000

Supply and demand in the oil market are close to matching up, the IEA said today, but rising US supply could mitigate landmark OPEC-led production cuts. In the first quarter of 2017, "the oil market was almost balanced," the International Energy Agency said in its latest monthly report. The aim was to reduce a glut in global oil supply that had depressed prices. But oil at above USD 50 a barrel has, in turn, attracted higher-cost producers in the United States back to the market, and frantic American drilling will push non-OPEC supply throughout the year, the IEA predicted. "Of course, things will change elsewhere in the balance, and today the most closely watched data point on the supply side is US crude production," the IEA said.

Oil market re-balancing seen accelerating: IEARelated Articles "Re-balancing is essentially here, and, in the short-term, is accelerating, the IEA said in its monthly report. The agency said if OPEC output is maintained at 31.8 mb/d in Q2 this would imply a stock draw of 700,000 barrels. But the International Energy Agency said inventories might not have returned to five-year average at the end of the year.

Oil market re-balancing is essentially here, IEA says

"We think the rebalancing is here and the rebalancing will continue," Neil Atkinson, head of the oil industry and markets division at the IEA, told CNBC on Tuesday. The oil market has essentially reached a balance and will continue to accelerate in the near term, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said in its monthly report published Tuesday, just nine days before OPEC's much anticipated ministerial meeting. Global oil markets are on course to reach a supply-demand balance in 2017, the IEA said, with supply deficits expected to pick up speed in the near term. "In the first quarter of 2017, we might not have seen a resounding return to deficits but this report confirms our recent message that re-balancing is essentially here and, in the short term at least, is accelerating," the IEA report added. According to the IEA's monthly report, global demand growth is poised to fall for a second consecutive year as a result of subdued gains.

Saudi Arabia, Russia push to extend oil output cut until March 2018

Russia and Saudi Arabia heavily depend on oil revenues. Last year they agreed the first joint output cuts in 15 years despite major political differences, including their support for opposite sides in the Syrian war. So far, OPEC producers have not yet debated whether to deepen the cuts from July, OPEC sources told Reuters. "I feel optimism because our main partner in this process, and our main partner without doubt is Saudi Arabia, has fully implemented all the agreements that took place up to now, and secondly, Saudi Arabia wants to maintain stable and fair prices for oil," Putin said. Saudi, the de facto leader of OPEC, and Russia, the world's biggest producer, together control a fifth of global supplies.

The latest OPEC production data indicated that stockpiles remain elevated, even as.participants have complied with the output quotas. Through April, China's crude production fell 6% from the same period in 2016, a downtrend that is likely to persist as in-production oil fields there dry up. Crude oil futures jumped to a two-week high on Monday after Saudi Arabian and Russian energy ministers in a joint statement said they back a nine-month extension to the current production cuts led by the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries.

Trump pledged during his presidential campaign that he would stop trade practices by China and other countries that he deemed unfair to the United States.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration said crude inventories fell 5.2 million barrels last week, much more than the 1.8 million-barrel drop analysts predicted. Some analysts questioned the staying power of the sharp price rebound, given increased crude production in the United States, along with OPEC members Libya and Nigeria. State-owned Saudi Aramco will reduce oil supplies to Asian customers by about 7 million barrels in June. But oil slumped in recent weeks as rising U.S. production undermined the OPEC-led efforts to reduce a global crude glut. Shipments data has shown signs of drawdown, with shipments from OPEC countries expected to fall about 50 million barrels in April, according to Thomson Reuters.

noreply@blogger.com (jack luxor) — Fri, 05 May 2017 19:18:00 +0000

China's first domestically made jet, the twin-engined regional ARJ-21, flew its passengers in June 2016, eight years after its first test flight. Comac says it has 570 orders, mostly from state-owned Chinese airlines. The first large Chinese-made passenger jetliner is making its maiden test flight Friday from Shanghai in a symbolic milestone in China's long-term goal to break into the Western-dominated aircraft market. China is touting the C919 as a rival to single-aisle jets the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737. Boeing, which is reportedly planning to build a facility in China, reportedly congratulated Comac on the plane's development.

US jobless benefits claims swing low at April's end quoting : "Washington Examiner"

noreply@blogger.com (jack luxor) — Thu, 04 May 2017 18:40:00 +0000

Economists calculate that jobless claims below the 300,000 mark signal continued net job growth. Low jobless claims are a good sign, because they indicate that layoffs are infrequent. New applications for unemployment benefits plunged to 238,000 in the last week of April, the Department of Labor reported Thursday, well below the 246,000 expected by forecasters. Thursday's report will reassure investors and government officials about last week's jump in claims up to 257,000. In part because of the recent low jobless claim numbers, economists have relatively high expectations for the April jobs report, set for publication Friday.

"The Telegraph" declare : UK construction grows as housing market stabilises

noreply@blogger.com (jack luxor) — Wed, 03 May 2017 17:49:00 +0000

Last month growth accelerated in the construction sector, encouraging companies to hire more staff to meet the rising demand. Overall construction output grew at its fastest pace so far this year, according to the purchasing managers' index from IHS Markit. Britain's builders are getting back to work as housebuilders try to meet demand for new homes and large civil engineering projects get under way, following a modest slowdown at the start of the year. Its index rose to 53.1, up from 52.2 in March. A score above 50 indicates growth.

As it stated in TREB also released a new analysis Wednesday of the impact of foreign buyers in the Toronto region's housing market, saying it believes foreign buyers and other speculators are not playing a major role in current market conditions. Globe editorial: How to pop Toronto's housing bubble, without blowing up the economyBut there were signs the Toronto region's market may be poised for more balanced growth. The average sale price for all homes in April was almost flat – up just 0.5 per cent – compared to March, when prices averaged $916,567. "The trend from 2008 to April, 2017, suggests that the share of foreign home buyers has remained low," TREB concluded. Fewer than 1 per cent of buyers had a mailing address outside of Canada, and most of those were U.S. addresses.

5 of the Highest Yielding Emerging Market Dividend Funds quoting : "fronteranews"

noreply@blogger.com (jack luxor) — Tue, 02 May 2017 15:36:00 +0000

Invested in a good mix of large cap (19%), mid cap (54%), small cap (21%), micro cap (4%), and cash (1%). The fund tracks the performance of the WisdomTree Emerging Markets SmallCap Dividend Index and offers an opportunity to access small cap emerging markets equities. Small cap emerging market exposureWith a dividend yield of 4.27%, the WisdomTree Emerging Markets SmallCap Dividend ETF (DGS) is ideal for emerging market investors who wish to generate returns through in investing in the local economy. It, therefore, serves as a nice complement to funds such as the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets ETF (EEM) or the Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF (VWO) that are largely invested in large cap stocks. Moreover, small cap stocks are considered better pure plays on the local economy; that is, more reflective of domestic consumption patterns.

The ALPS Emerging Sector Dividend Dogs ETF (EDOG), the SPDR S&P Emerging Markets Dividend ETF (EDIV), and the WisdomTree Emerging Markets SmallCap Dividend ETF (DGS) are the other 3 big dividend-paying emerging market funds. So, the 6.95% dividend yield offered by the iShares Emerging Markets Dividend ETF (DVYE) or the 5.31% offered by the WisdomTree Emerging Markets High Dividend ETF (DEM) look shiny indeed. And, given the inherent risk of investing in emerging markets, dividend funds gain importance in that they compliment the volatile price return accruing from these markets. - Advertisement -The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund (EEM) currently has a dividend yield of 1.98%, while the Guggenheim Frontier Markets ETF (FRN) boasts of a 3.62% dividend yield.

Stock markets wait on Trump tax plan

Trump's tax plan calls for ending the alternative-minimum tax and the estate tax, and reducing the top rate for individuals from 39.6 percent to 35 percent. The small-cap Russell 2000, which could be among the greatest beneficiaries if the tax plan passes, was up 0.6 percent, at 1419.43. The two lower brackets would be 10 percent and 25 percent under the Trump plan. The announcement of the Trump tax plan Wednesday afternoon had little effect on a stock market that earlier this week saw the tech-heavy Nasdaq break 6,000 for the first time and the Dow Jones industrial average flirt with 21,000. "The market saw the Trump plan and was interested in it, but until the market gets specific results, I don't think it is going to act on it," said Zaccarelli.

Both the Dow Jones industrial average and broader S&P500 also continued slightly higher as investors eagerly awaited the much-heralded release of President Trump's "massive" tax plan.
