Top Day Market News
7.12.12
Yesterday’s tape action was fairly abysmal. The bulls were banking on the possibility of stimulus language in the communique of the FOMC minutes. Unfortunately, there wasn’t any. Overnight, the EC is at a fresh two year low. Without free money from the Fed, gold is lower as well. Yields on German short dated maturities are essentially negative at -0.029%. Employment in Australia came in less than expected. Yield on the 10 year is below 1.5%. The increase in gas and heating oil supplies yesterday would be accompanied by a decline in crude stocks, which it was. The key though is that the increase in product stocks really reflects a decline in demand which is a negative for the complex. Basically, world economies are contracting at a rate faster than central banks can manage.
Just initial and continuing claims today.
