With oil prices skyrocketing and shopping malls not packing in consumers over Christmas, retail sales are down, hence rents paid to shopping mall holding companies are suffering and the REITs are down. Of course, with high Crude Oil prices, the cost of jet fuel is up and the price of airline shares down.

So, in yesterday’s abbreviated, low volume session, not much happened except generally prices were moderately higher, with Gold ($XAU +2.28 pct), Oil Services ($OSX +1.45 pct), Oil ($XOI +1.06 pct) and Commodities ($CRX +1.26 pct) were the leaders, but the Airlines ($XAL -2.05 pct), REITs ($DJR -1.74 pct) and Retailers ($RLX -1.24 pct) held the market in check.

Many of the big name Retailers were very soft on Boxing Day, the day after Christmas. Shares of Guess? (GES -4.37 pct), The Buckle (BKE -6.30 pct), The Gap (GPS -2.51 pct), and Limited Brands (LTD -2.42 pct) were weak. The dollar stores, Family Dollar Stores (FDO -3.90 pct), Dollar Tree (DLTR -2.16 pct), Fred’s (FRED -1.55 pct), 99 Cents Only (NDN -2.74 pct), and department stores, Dillards (DDS -5.47 pct), Macy’s (M -3.92 pct), JC Penny (JCP -3.05 pct), Nordstrom (JWN -2.95 pct), Saks (SKS -2.95 pct) and The Bon-Ton Stores (BONT -9.26 pct) also underperformed. Kohl's (KSS -2.48 pct) was down. The big box discounters like Wal-Mart (WMT -0.74 pct, Target (TGT -2.50 pct) and Sears/KMart (SHLD -1.60 pct) were also down and little box retailer RadioShack (RSH -3.67 pct) was hit.

(Cara 100) Silver Wheaton (SLW + 8.0 pct) has been on a moonshot. In four days, from a low of 14.17 on Dec 20 to yesterday's high of 17.84, closing at 17.68), that is a +25 pct move. When you are on vacation, you usually miss these kinds of moves. Actually, the Silver Wheaton move from the 20th is a combination of much higher silver prices and a well-timed agreement to buy between 45 pct and 90 pct of the life-of-mine silver to be produced by the Rosemont Copper Project of Augusta Resources (AMEX and TSX: AZC)

Elsewhere, the China-play, Ag-play and Energy-play rewarded traders who loved a good Christmas story.

Comments & Outlook

There are so many stories in the market these days; you don’t know who or what to believe. When in doubt, watch the money flow. Yesterday, the large majority of US Retailers were hammered even though Financial Entertainment TV was telling us that this was an outstanding year for retailers… and if the weather hadn’t been so bad (yada, yada) the season would have set records.

Traders in the futures pits were telling us that with supply concerns in the US, the price of West Texas Intermediate Crude (WTIC) would rally well through $100/barrel. So why was European Brent just as high?

What this market is telling us is that oil producers must increase the price to cover cost inflation, which is the outcome of a weak $USD policy. So, whenever the $USD plunges as it did early yesterday, the price of Oil and Gold zoom.

Who recalls the $51 oil price back in January?

Yes, for the moment, I have been wrong on the prices of the $USD-denominated commodities because I have anticipated that the US authorities would end the cheap dollar nonsense before inflation breaks the backs of the average wage-earner.

Herein lies the lesson that there is often a big difference between what you think ought to be happening and what actually is happening in markets. It pays to focus on price and not words and opinions.

Today, the few traders around will focus on two key US economic reports, Durable Goods (8:30am ET) and Consumer Confidence (10:00am ET). Like a Limbo contest, the question is ‘How low can they go?’

I always love the media spin, but the data and the charts tell the real story.
