Daily Report for Sat, Aug 23, 2008

Markets Weekend Re-cap

On Wednesday and Thursday, trading in Crude Oil resulted in a two-day gain of $6.64/bbl, closing at 121.18. The $USD had plunged -1.07% to 76.11, while the Euro (+1.04% to 1.4901). All that reversed on Friday.

In NY on Friday, Crude Oil ($WTIC) plunged -$6.59/bbl, almost to the penny the amount of the previous day’s all-time single-day record gain, closing the session at 114.59. Thursday’s humungous rally took 4½ hours and yesterday’s retracement took 10½ hours, like it had all been planned.

Forex markets were caught up in the same vortex. On Thursday, the $USD plunged -1.07% to 76.11, while the Euro (+1.04% to 1.4901), Yen (+1.29% to 92.18), Pound (+0.83% to 187.74) and Loonie (+1.71% to 95.89) all soared. But on Friday, there was a reversal of fortunes: the $USD rocketed up +0.91% to 76.81, while the Euro (-0.81% to 1.47.81), Yen (-1.41% to 90.88), Pound (-1.35% to 185.21) and Loonie (-0.44% to 95.47) all crashed.

Other than stories the Korean Development Bank, under ex-Lehman Korea head Min Euoo Sung, who joined KDB in June, had been considering a major stake in Lehman Bros (LEH +5.0%), which speaks to the possibility of other foreign banks cleaning up the dire problems of America’s banks, why did this market reverse course so abruptly? Many observers believe it was a set-up to a speech by Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke at the Fed Bank of Kansas City annual symposium, in which he opined that inflation pressures would moderate.

Later in the day, the DJIA (+197.85 +1.73% to 11628.06), S&P 500 (+14.48 +1.13% to 1292.20), and NASDAQ Composite (+34.33 +1.44% to 2414.71) closed much higher, but again on very low volume.

In Canada, the Toronto Exchange Composite lost -0.68% to 13447.29, while the Venture Board closed basically flat (+0.10%) at 1951.63. The Venture stocks index had gained +2.51% over the previous two days, while the senior stocks on the Toronto exchange had gained +3.61%, so the trading is mostly institutionally oriented, and much of it based on the oils.

The worst performing sector, of course, was Energy (XLE), which fell -2.3%. With the hint of lower inflation, and interest rates that would not have to skyrocket to snuff out inflation, the Financials were very strong. REITs ($DJR +3.4%), Broker-Dealers ($XBD +3.3%) and Banks ($BKX +3.2%) were leaders, but the biggest gain on the day was predictably the Airlines ($XAL), which soared +8.2%. Interesting that over the previous two days, the Airlines had lost -7.4% and Financials -3.0%.

According to the NOAA Weather Advisory at 7:00am Saturday, Fay is a “minimal tropical storm” with heavy rainfall, with a forecasted northerly direction, taking the 45 mph winds away from the Gulf oilfields.

Of the extreme Cara 100 stocks, the big gainers were the usual ones that gain when oil prices fall: Brunswick Corp (BC +7.4%), Tata Motors (TTM +4.3%), JC Penny (JC Penny +4.2%), Kohls (KSS +3.8%) and Carnival Cruiselines (CCL +3.5%). The losers were Korea’s Kookmin Bank (KB -7.0%) and the commodity plays, led by Goldcorp (GG -3.7%), Barrick (ABX -3.4%), and Silver Wheaton (SLW -3.2%).

The long bond ($USB) was basically flat (-0.04% to 117.69), while treasury yields lifted a small bit. The T-Bill yield lost a bit to 1.665.

Earlier today, the Asia-Pacific equity markets were mixed: Australia’s All Ords index (up +1.22% to 5010.2); Shanghai (-1.09% to 2405.2); Hong Kong (closed, probably for typhoon alert); India’s Sensex (+0.98% to 14383.4); and Japan’s Nikkei (-0.68% to 12666.0).

In Europe, markets continued to power up behind the Financials during the day, closing: French CAC +2.23% at 4400.45; German DAX +1.69% at 6342.42; and UK FTSE +2.52% at 5505.60.

At the end of the week, the $USD closed at 76.81; and the Euro/USD at 1.4781. Crude Oil futures ($WTIC) were at 114.59. The DJIA futures closed at 11617.

Spot Gold, palladium, platinum and silver futures closed at 822.10, 283.0. 1431, and 13.32 respectively, after weakening during the day as the $USD strengthened.
