The DJIA (+66 +0.52% to 12898.38), S&P 500 (+5.6 +0.40% to 1408.66), and NASDAQ Composite (+1.58 +0.06% to 2496.7) closed a bit higher.

The Consumer Discretionary sector (XLY +1.12%) including Retailers ($RLX +1.61%) was the leader and Energy (XLE -1.14%) including Oil Services ($OSX -2.17%) the loser. Goldminers ($XAU -1.80%) were soft along with a modestly firmer $USD (+0.15%) to 73.35.

Teekay LNG Partnership (NYSE: TGP) had strong increases in distributable cash flow the previous quarter and cash distribution. The stock was the Cara 100 winner on the session, up +5.9%.

The loser was Whole Foods Market Inc (WFMI -13.9%), which reported Q2 revenues were $1,866.5 million that was up +27.56% vs a year ago. But there was a miss of the revenue consensus by -1.4%. Q2 EPS was $0.29, down -9.4% vs a year earlier, which also missed consensus by -3.33%.

Also on the earnings front, Deere (DE) reported a +22% earnings gain, but guided weaker this quarter due to rising raw-material prices. Macy's (M) reported Q1 EPS $0.02 vs $0.16. That beat consensus, which was for a loss of -$0.02/share. Early this morning, (Cara 100) JC Penney reported a -50% drop in Q1 earnings, and guided significant weakness throughout 2008.

$GOLD yesterday lost -$3.10/oz to 866.50. But that was yesterday.

On the economics front, the Fed just reported that industrial production dropped -0.7% last month, more than double the consensus. Manufacturing output fell by -0.8%, a large part of which was from cutbacks in auto production as demand has dropped.

Traders immediately saw that as a requirement for the Fed to drop rates, and the precious metals have taken off on a moonshot in the past few minutes: spot gold +$21.44 (+2.5%) to 884.28; palladium +4.5 to 433; platinum up +72 to 2069; and silver up +0.4025 to 16.935.

June Crude Oil has also popped +$1.24/bbl to 124.25 as the $USD weakened. The June Dow 30 futures are up about +17 to 12896.

---

Comments & Outlook

The US Industrial Production report showing plunging manufacturing output is the dominant force this morning. Watch UPS and FDX.

Have a great day.
