Daily Report for Tue, Feb 05, 2008
Markets Re-cap
Maybe it was Superbowl hangover or just another rejection of New York (Guiliani, ...Clinton?), but yesterday’s action in US equity markets was more selling than buying.
The DJIA (-108.0 -0.85 pct to 12635.16), S&P 500 (-14.60 -1.05 pct to 1380.82) and Nasdaq Composite (-30.51 -1.26 pct to 2382.85) sagged as the Financials (XLF -2.90 pct) and Technology (-2.07 pct) led the way down. Only the Utilities (XLU +1.44 pct) were looking good on an otherwise blue Monday.
The Banks ($BKX -4.11 pct), Broker-Dealers ($XBD -2.30 pct) and Retailers ($RLX -3.17 pct), which had been last week’s big winners, were all leaders on the downside.
The consumer stocks, CCL (-6.1 pct), TGT (-5.3 pct), BBBY (-5.1 pct), WHR (-4.8 pct), ERTS (-4.4 pct) and JCP (-3.9 pct), all gave back some or all of the previous week’s gains. So too were the bankers hit, eg, UBS -4.6 pct, LEH -3.3 pct, and the India-duo of HDB and IBN at -3.0 pct and -2.9 pct respectively.
Most of the gainers were in the coal and oils, such as TCK +5.9 pct, the Chinese oils PTR and CEO (+3.8 pct and +3.1 pct respectively) and Canadian Oils IMO and SU (+2.1 pct and +1.7 pct respectively).
On the corporate deals front, it looks like the Microsoft (MSFT) bid for Yahoo (YHOO) might run into resistance. Google (GOOG) CEO Eric Schmidt offered Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang financial muscle to fight off Gates, Ballmer & Co.
On the earnings front, Archer Daniels Midland's (ADM) fiscal Q2 lifted +7 pct to $473 million ($0.73/share) vs $441 million ($0.67/sh) a year earlier as revenue jumped +50 pct to $16.5 billion. This is a clear sign that food inflation will be a problem. The GSCI Agriculture Index gained +2.31 pct on the day.
Early today, Toyota (TM) is guiding higher by about +7.5 pct for its recent profit growth, and BP reported a recent surge of +53 pct in earnings, although the net earnings for the year were still down.
The economic data turned somewhat positive as December factory orders grew +2.3 pct and non-defense capital goods (excluding aircraft orders) gained +4.4 pct. That didn’t help the $USD, which dropped -0.18 pct to 75.35.
Crude Oil ($WTIC) jumped +1.0 pct to $90.02/bbl, on the $USD weakness and also apparently due to increased geo-political tensions in Iraq and Nigeria.
$GOLD lost -4.10 (-0.45 pct) to 909.40.
But early today the picture remains blue as most of Asia-Pacific closed down: Australia -1.2 pct), China -1.6 pct, Hong Kong -0.9 pct, and Japan -0.8 pct.
In Europe at 7:00am ET, the FTSE, CAC and DAX were down -0.6 pct, -0.8 pct and -0.5 pct respectively.
March Crude Oil is down about -0.8 pct to 89.25, while the March USD is stronger as the March Euro is down -1.0 pct to 1.4665. And, April Gold -13.30 to 896.00 and March Silver -0.22 to 16.56 are down sharply.
In the Spot market at 7:00am ET, Gold, Silver, Platinum and Palladium are down since midnight by -9.67, -0.15, -12 and -8. Silver, plat and pall are a tad stronger from their 6:00am levels though.
Comments & Outlook
My sixth sense tells me that there will be more talk this year about wage and price inflation than economic woes. Higher inflation means higher interest rates, which will bring on additional problems in the credit market, which will hurt the banks and brokers.
Overnight, the interest rate in Australia was bumped on account of these concerns that inflation is creeping to a +4 pct level. And in New Zealand, the wage inflation data yesterday was negative. I hear the same is true in countries like Germany.
So, there is only so much that central bankers can do to stimulate economies that are squeezed by inflation and credit market issues.
I think that there simply has to be more cleaning up of problems at HB&B, and traders have to let this credit contraction cycle play out. So, my recommendation is to relax, sit back and let prices come to you. Avoid bonds, especially at the long end, and switch instead to well-protected income oriented trusts.
I still believe the primary equity market cycle will bottom at 10000 for the DJIA and 2000 for the Nasdaq Composite, to use round numbers. That simply says this Bear market is not yet half played out.
I do think most or all the damage will be done in the 1H08 and that the Techs will be leaders in the 2H of the year.

Wrap-up
Today’s National/Financial Post has published a lengthy article on me. I have to thank the writer Jonathan Ratner because it was unsolicited on my part, and yet accurate. Jonathan took the time to review the blog, spoke to my book publisher, and interviewed me for over an hour on Friday. I appreciate that.
