Täna kell 15.30 teatatakse möödunud nädala esmaste töötu abiraha taotlejate arv - ootuseks on 465 000. See näitaja on tulnud üha madalamale, kuid selleks, et olla kindel, et riigis ollakse uusi töökohti juurde loomas, peaks see langema ca 400 000 juurde. Kestvate töötu abiraha taotlejate numbrilt oodatakse täna 5.18 miljonilist näitu. Kell 17 teatatakse novembrikuu juhtivate indikaatorite muutus (ootus 0.7%) ning Philadelphia Fedi äriväljavaadete detsembrikuu küsitluse näitaja (ootus 16 punkti).
Öösel on euro dollari vastu korralikult nõrgenenud EUR/USD -0.9% @ €1=$1.44. S&P500 futuurid on hetkel -0.4% @ 1105.5 punkti.
Citigroup (C) teatas eile õhtul veel aktsiaemissioonist, kus turult üritatakse tõsta $17 miljardit, müües aktsiaid hinnaga $3.15. Oktoobri keskel kauples Citigroupi aktsia veel $4.8 peal, seega kahe kuuga langust ca 35%. Igaljuhul seconday tuli oodatust madalamale ning Citigroupi (C) aktsiaga on oodata järgnevatel päevadel põnevat kauplemist. Kindlasti on ka palju momentumkauplejaid nüüd aktsiat radaril hoidmas.
Eile õhtul alustas Verizoni (VZ) katmist ostusoovitusega ja $40lise hinnasihiga Deutsche Bank. Teadupärast kuulub Verizon Wirelessist 44% Vodafone'ile (VOD), seega on see julgustav märk kindlasti ka Vodafone'i investoritele.
Eurole on negatiivselt mõjumas Kreeka riigireitingu langetamine S&P poolt, mis tuli varem kui paljud olid arvanud, sest reitingugentuuri viimases teadaandest öeldi, et valitsusele antakse aega 60 päeva oma finantsseisu parandamiseks midagi ette võtta. Tegelikult oli otsus ilmselt juba siililegi selge, kuna selleni jõudmiseks kulus kõigest 9 päeva. Lisaks ähvardatakse praegust BBB+ reitingut veelgi madalamale langetada.
Väga korralik ralli dollari poolt. EUR/USD täna juba -1.35% ja €1=$1.434.
Saxo on järgmiseks aastaks prognoosimas kulla kukkumist 870 dollarile, jüaani 5%-list devalveerimist dollari suhtes, USDJPY kursiks 110 ja USA sotsiaalkindlustusfondi maksejõuetust. Ülejäänud huvitavaid nägemusi võib lähemalt lugeda siit. Kui täpsed olid aga Saxo prognoosid tänavuseks aastaks, saab näha siin

No Energy, No Leadership

Energy is an eternal delight, and he who desires, but acts not, breeds pestilence.
-- William Blake
The most notable characteristic of this market lately has been its lack of energy. While we have been holding up quite well, there has been no real vigor. Market leadership has been almost nonexistent, and much of the movement seems random at best.
We have had some brief bursts of momentum in a few of the big-cap technology names like Google (GOOG) and Priceline (PCLN) , but others like Apple (AAPL) and Amazon (AMZN) have been quite mixed. A few solar energy stocks have shown some life lately, but finding some hot pockets of momentum has been quite a struggle.
What makes the market particularly tricky is that there isn't any bearish energy either. We have some mild selling, but breadth has been pretty good and the major indices are hovering just under their highs. While the indices aren't showing much strength, they aren't showing much weakness either.
The reaction to the Fed interest rate decision yesterday was a good example of this market's lack of energy. The Fed didn't do anything surprising, and some would even say that their policy statement was on the upbeat side, but the market flopped around a bit and then gave us a mild "sell the news" reaction. The bears had an opportunity to jam us down once the selling commenced but didn't accomplish much.
We have a weak open shaping up this morning. The dollar is stronger because of problems in Greece and some spin that maybe the Fed will raise rates a little sooner than later. FedEx (FDX) issued poor earnings and guidance, and that is generating a negative response.
However the biggest problem is that financials are weighing on the market this morning. Citi (C) saw weak demand for its secondary, which it prices at just $3.15. Meredith Whitney is adding to the pressure by cutting her earnings estimates to below consensus on Goldman Sachs (GS) and Morgan Stanley (MS) .
The bulls have not been able to capitalize on their upside opportunities lately, and now the bears have an opportunity to show what they have this morning.
I want to see the market shake off some of its lethargy and give us some better trading action. Unfortunately, with so little energy from the bulls, we may have to look to the bears to shake things up with some downside action. At least if we pull back a bit it might get the dip-buyers interested and action once again.
We are looking at a poor start this morning, but that may be what we need to get this market back on track for some positive end-of-the-year action.

Treasury on ka treideriks hakanud ja seega usub, et järgmise 90 päeva jooksul hind tõuseb :D Neil oli võimalusi küllaga, et aktsiaid müüa $5 lähedalt, ometi jäeti see kasutamata.
Pole jõudnud täpsemalt vaadata aga HOV kvartalitulemus paistis küll korralik ämber olevat, kuid aktsia -10% langusest juba pea 0 tagasi ostetud. XHB samuti positiivsel poolel.
XLF samuti üsna hooga kosumas, samas jällegi tavapärane pilt kus käibe ära kukkumisel turg rallib.

Kui maagaasivarudelt oodati idaranniku ja põhja-USA osariikides möllanud külma nädala tõttu suurt langust, siis languse suurus üllatas ka optimiste. Kui oodatud languse vahemikuks prognoositi 163 kuni 200 bcf (keskmiseks ootuseks oli 178 bcf), siis reaalselt langesid varud 207 bcf'i. Tõsi, varud on võrreldes ajalooliste keskmistega jätkuvalt kõrged, kuid vahe on vähenemas.
Kui naftahind on täna üle 1.5% miinuspoolel, siis tõusev maagaasihind on varude raporti peale tõusnud üle 5.5% ning aidanud kaasa ka maagaasisektori ettevõtete aktsiahindade tõusule. Kuna Chesapeake Energy'l (CHK) on väga suur osa 2010. aasta toodangust veel ette müümata, siis tõusvad maagaasihinnad on sõna otseses mõttes vesi nende veskile.
