The S&P 500 (-23.39 -1.82% to 1261.52), NASDAQ Composite (-53.51 -2.32% to 2251.46), and Russell 2000 small caps (-2.78% to 672.34) took a bigger beating that the DJIA.

In New York, the leading sectors were Utilities (XLU -0.27%) and Consumer Staples (XLP -0.11%). There were no sectors or leading industry groups that ended up on the session.

The worst three sectors were Basic Materials (XLB -4.3%), Industrials (XLI -3.1%) and Energy (XLE -3.0%). Chemicals were down -4.2%, Oil Services ($OSX) -4.4%, Transports -4.5% and Goldminers ($XAU -3.6%) sold down.

For the extreme Cara 100 stocks, the winners were: SNDK (+6.2%) after being down -5.8% the day before; and YHOO +3.4%. The losers were: NUE -14.2%, ATVI -7.4%, and BC -7.3% to $10.10.

The 30-year US Bond ($USB) lifted +0.53% to 116.12 in a safe-haven move out of equities.

As expected, but despite signs of weakening economic growth, the European Central Bank (ECB) today raised interest rates by a quarter-point to 4.25%. This was the first rate increase in a year and is seen as an attempt by the ECB to suppress escalating inflation.

US payrolls in June contracted for the sixth consecutive month. Companies facing write-downs and rising costs or lower demand are cutting back. The Labor Department has reported that Nonfarm payrolls fell by 62,000, slightly more job losses than consensus expectations. The unemployment rate held at 5.5%. May payrolls were revised down by 13,000 to show a 62,000-job decrease.

The US Dollar index ($USD) lost -0.45% to 72.07, while $GOLD gained +$2.00/oz to 946.50 and Crude Oil ($WTIC) lifted by $2.60/bbl to 143.57.

Earlier today, the Asia-Pacific equity markets were mostly weak. The Australia All-Ords dropped -2.26% to 5094; Hong Kong’s Hang Seng -2.13% to 21243 and India’s Sensex 30 -4.18% to 13094, while the Nikkei 225 lost just -0.16% to 13265.

European stocks are now stronger after the ECB report.

Crude Oil futures are up to 143.98 and the DJIA futures are at 11271, up +60.

The $USD futures are strong and the Euro weak. Precious metal prices have weakened.

Spot prices at 9:20am ET for gold, palladium, platinum, and silver: 933.58, 460, 2031, and 18.07, respectively.

Comments & Outlook

Yesterday, I opined that the ECB would raise rates, but that just might not rally the Euro and Gold. I seem to have been right.
