Share prices had been in negative territory yesterday until some mid-day speeches and TV appearances by key financial people led to a mini-rally in New York. By the close, the DJIA gained +152.3 +1.36% to 11384.2, the S&P 500 gained +21.4 +1.71% to 1273.7, and the NASDAQ Composite gained +51.1 +2.28% to 2294.4. The Toronto Composite gained +0.71%, but the Toronto Venture lost -78.7 -3.17% to 2399.7.

In NY, the Financials (XLF +6.5%) followed by Health (XLV) and Consumer Discretionary (XLY), both up +2.6%, were the winners. The loser again was Energy (XLE -1.7%) as Crude Oil ($WTIC) dropped -$5.33/barrel to 136.04. $GOLD futures dropped -$5.50/oz to 923.30.

The leading industry groups were Airlines ($XAL +11.2%), Banks ($BKS +7.6%), Broker-Dealers ($XBD +5.4%), and REIT’s ($DJR +6.8%). Goldminers ($XAU -1.7%) and Oil services ($OSX -1.5%) were the losers.

For the extreme Cara 100 stocks, the winners were ERJ (+11.0%) and BC (+8.2%). The losers were NUE (-4.4%), TCK (-4.3%) and TS (-4.2%).

The 30-year US Bond ($USB) gained +0.47% to 116.84. The yields on the 30-year, 10-year, and 5-year Treasury issues were down a bit and the T-Bill yield gained as traders moved out of short-term debt issues to take on a bit more risk.

The US Dollar index ($USD) gained +0.37% to close at 73.00. The Euro lost -0.40% to 1.5666, Yen -0.36% to 93.01, Pound -0.36% to 1.9694, and the Cdn Loonie -0.19% to 0.9807.

Earlier today, the Asia-Pacific equity markets all rallied. The Australia All-Ords gained +1.33% to 5089.4; the Shanghai Composite gained +3.75% to 2920.55; the Hang Seng of HK gained +2.76% to 21805.8; the Indian Sensex 30 gained +4.60% to 13964.3; and the Nikkei 225 was up just +0.15% to 13052.1.

European stocks this morning at about 8:05am ET. were stronger. The FTSE 100 is up +1.23% to 5507; the French CAC up +1.39% to 4336; and the German DAX +1.18% to 6379.

Crude Oil futures are up +1.91/bbl to 137.95, which is making equity traders nervous. The $USD is at 73.17 and the Euro at 1.5644, largely flat.

Spot prices at 7:47am ET for gold, palladium, platinum are down a bit, and silver up marginally, to: 917.35, 438, 1955, and 17.77, respectively.

The DJIA futures are at 11395, up +20 in the past few minutes, but traders are cautious to start the day.

Comments & Outlook

Yesterday, I started the Daily Report with this statement: “Any attempt to rally this market is hit with words of caution regarding the ill health of the Financials and the inflationary pressures caused by the energy markets.” Then I added in the Comments section: “Share prices in the broad market can be saved from massive destruction if the commodity producers (energy and basic materials) (ie, the Yin) are sacrificed for the benefit of the Industrials, Consumers (cyclicals, staples and health), Financials, Tech, Telecom and Utilities (ie the Yang). So, while we may be in what is called a secular Bull market for commodities, there will be phases in the market where prices of commodities and the share prices of commodity producers are hammered.”

With plenty of rest and no alcohol the previous evening, I can focus my mind clearly on the market as soon as I wake. Apparently, yesterday was one of those days as prices moved pretty much in line with my thinking.

Some of you agree and some disagree with my opinion that “the new reality today is that Crude Oil at about $90-$100 and Gold at $820 is required to stave a total collapse of securities prices across the board. If that’s what the authorities want, ultimately that’s what they will get. The only thing to be determined is the interim volatility, which is the extent of the fight to be put up by vested interests among the commodity producers.”

Yesterday’s action notwithstanding, there is another deep concern shared by many traders that the Financials can and will get the occasional boost from the Fed, but ultimately will have to write off so much worthless investment and replace it with so much new capital that their share prices will continue to fall, and many banks will in fact fail.

What I recommend is that today each of you set up a sample portfolio at Google Finance for every bank and broker with a market cap of say $5 billion or more. To make it easy, here’s a list:
AIB BAC BBD BBV BCH BCS BK BMO BNS C CM CS DB GS HBC HDB IBN ITU JPM KB KEY LEH LYG MER MS MTU NBG NMR PNC RY SAN SCHW STD STI TD UBB UBS WB WBK WFC

Then watch for the earnings reports of these banks, comparing the results (and expected increase in write-downs) to their stock action in the market. Two things could happen to tell you this Bear market is going to end soon: (i) the write-downs are minimal, and (ii) share prices rally—not for one or two banks, but across the board--for several days after the corporate results for the biggest banks are released.

I'm not betting on that to happen. I think the shorts will return to the Financials pretty soon. Yesterday they were scared a bit that Professor Bernanke was up to his old tricks. A little short-covering, that's all.
