Last Week In Review

As the week of trading concluded, leading up the Labor Day weekend, the final session for August saw the markets give back more than 1% by the close. The week's trading was bookended by triple-digit losses with a mixed sentiment for economic data released throughout the week. The Conference Board showed that the state of confidence in the economy for August increased to 56.9, up from July's 51.9, as analysts were anticipating 53, and after a six-month retreat, the reading marks the second straight month in which the sentiment of consumers increased. Orders for durables increased for the second consecutive month, advancing 1.3% in July, along with the 2Q GDP figures showing that the economy grew at a 3.3% annual rate, the biggest increase in nearly three quarters. And finally, the Labor Department stated that unemployment applications fell by 10K. The National Association of Realtors reported that sales of existing homes increased 3.1% in July but still remain 13.2% lower than this time last year, while the average price for the sale of a home has dropped over 7%. The Commerce Department stated that sales of new single-family homes advanced by 2.4% in July, as the cost for an average new house sold declined more than 4% while the median price was down over 6%. In addition, the Commerce Department mentioned that personal income plunged 0.7% and that consumer spending, which was apparently up 0.2% in July, actually dropped 0.4% after adjusting for inflation. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) confirmed that crude stockpiles declined by 100K barrels last week, gasoline inventories dropped 1.2M barrels and supplies of distillates remained unchanged. Oil's volatility during the week was due in large part to concerns that Hurricane Gustav will force oil production in the Gulf region to stop altogether. Crude's price closed the week at $115.46. The week ahead will see numerous economic data including the important construction spending and factory orders for July, ISM services and the unemployment reports for August, in addition to the weekly release for crude inventories and the ADP employment and the preliminary reading of the productivity report for the 2Q.

The DOW closed the week lower, giving back a modest 84.10 points, or 0.7%, to close at 11,549.96. The S&P finished the week down, retreating 9.36 points, or 0.7%, ending at 1,282.83. The NASDAQ concluded the week lower as well, dropping 47.19 point, or 1.9%, at 2,367.52.

Last Week In Review

As the third trading week for August comes to an end, the markets tried to make the most of it, posting gains of more than 1% each, but that couldn't make up for the insurmountable losses seen in the first two trading sessions to begin the week. Early week losses were directly related to government-back Fannie Mae (FNM) and Freddie Mac (FRE) trading at 20-year lows amongst dire economic data released. Shares of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac lost more than a quarter of their value on Wednesday as fears mounted that the mortgage financiers will soon need government support and any bailout would hang stockholders out to dry. As for economic news, which weighed heavily on the weeks trading, included the Labor Department stating that wholesale inflation increased by 1.2% for July, its fastest tempo in almost 27 years while core prices advanced at a 0.7% pace, over three times what was projected. Also, the Commerce Department announced that home construction was its weakest reading since May of 1991, with building starts down more than 12% from June's reading, single-family home construction down 2.9% for July, home construction down almost 40%, and housing permits, a strong signal for future activity, dropping nearly 18% from June. The one bright spot for the economy was that jobless claims actually declined by 13K. Crude ended the week at $114.59, up marginally from last week's price, as Friday's plunge in price offset Thursday's gain of over $5. Friday's price dropped more than $6. The week ahead will see numerous economic data including the important Existing & New Home Sales, Durable Orders, and Personal Income & Spending for July, along with the Consumer Confidence and Chicago PMI reports for August, and the Preliminary reading of the GDP and the Chain Deflector for the 2Q.

The DOW closed the week lower, giving back a modest 31.84 points, or 0.2%, to close at 11,628.06. The S&P finished the week down, retreating 6.01 points, or 0.4%, ending at 1,292.19. The NASDAQ concluded the week lower as well, dropping 37.81 point, or 1.5%, at 2,414.71.

Last Week In Review

The stock market ended the week in mixed fashion despite the news earlier in the week that inflation had risen to its highest point in 17 years. The core CPI came in up 0.3% this month, higher that the expected 0.2% rise. Other economic data for the week included retail sales for the month of July coming in slightly negative at -0.1%. Although this number shows that higher food and energy prices are taking its toll, the number could have been much worse and was still inline with expectations. On a positive note, retailers Kohl's (KSS), JCPenney (JCP) and Abercrombie and Fitch (ANF) all reported better than expected earnings reports. Helping the retail sector this week was the drop in crude prices. Oil settled this week below $114 per barrel. The week ahead will see little economic data with the most important data coming from the core PPI to be released on Tuesday.

The DOW closed the week lower, falling 74.42 points, or 0.6%, to close at 11,759.90. The S&P advanced 0.1%, gaining 1.89 points, ending the week at 1,298.20. The NASDAQ was positive as well, accumulating 1.6%, or 38.42 points, ending the week at 2,452.52.

Last Week In Review

As the first week of trading for August comes to an end along with the start of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, the markets concluded the week on a high note, despite numerous data results which provided much volatility throughout the week's sessions. Adding to the market swings were the three Commerce Dept. readings which showed personal income increasing by a fractional 0.1% in June, personal spending increasing by 0.6% and factory orders for June increasing by 1.7%, its best showing since December's increase of 1.9%. Additionally, the ISM stated that figures for the service sector increased from 48.2 in June, to its current reading of 49.5 in July, while surpassing analysts' estimates. Negatively, the Labor Dept. confirmed that the number of newly laid off workers surged to its highest figure in nearly six years as unemployment increased by more than 7K to 455K, along with productivity increasing at an annual rate of 2.2% during the 2Q, down from the 1Q reading of 2.6%, and less than the 2.7% expected. Also adding to the uneasiness of investors was the two largest federally-chartered corporations, Freddie Mac (FRE), and Fannie Mae (FNM) posting quarterly results this past week, with both companies falling short of expectations. Fannie booked a loss of $2.3B, or $2.54 a share, while posting a $5.3B loss in credit expenses, and Freddie posted a loss of $1.63 per share, or $821M, along with revenues plummeting nearly 28%, to $1.69B. In a welcome site for consumers, the price of crude dropped nearly $10 by week's end, closing out at $115.20 a barrel. Front-month crude futures are down about 22% from their record high in June but are still up nearly 60% from a year ago. The week ahead will see numerous economic data including the important Trade Balance for June, along with the Treasury Budget, Import/Export Prices, CPI, Retail Sales, and the Capacity Utilization and Industrial Production readings for July.

The DOW closed the week higher, adding 408 points, or 3.6%, to close at 11,734.32. The S&P advanced 2.8%, gaining 36 points, ending the week at 1,296.31. The NASDAQ was positive as well, accumulating 4.4%, or 103.14 points, ending the week at 2,414.10.

Last Week In Review

As the week concluded, all major indices traded relatively flat for the week, as investors bought on good news and sold on the bad. During the month of July, the Dow inched up 0.25%, the S&P slipped 0.99%, and the NASDAQ gained 1.42%. However, it was certainly a better showing than in June, during which time the Dow dropped 10.2%, the S&P lost 8.6%, and the NASDAQ dipped 9.1%. As for the positives, the recent economic data revealed that the Consumer Confidence Index for July stands at 51.9, up only slightly from the revised 51.0 in June and slightly better than the reading of 50 predicted by economists. Sales of U.S. exports grew at a 9.2% pace in the 2Q, up from 5.1% in the 1Q, while consumer spending for the 2Q advanced at a 1.5% rate, better than the 1Q and the best showing since the 3Q of last year. Adversely, there were reports that weighed heavily on investors including the Commerce Dept.'s report that GDP grew at a 1.9% pace in the 2Q which disappointed investors as economists had expected growth of 2.4%. Once again, home prices tumbled, this time by the steepest rate ever in May as the housing slump intensified on a national scale. The 20-city index decreased by 15.8% in May compared with a year ago, and the 10-city index plummeted 16.9%, its biggest decline in its 21-year history. In a welcome response, the price of crude managed a marginal decrease from last week to close at $125.10, while gasoline concluded at $3.898 a gallon, down 5.2% from its record high of $4.114 on July 17th. With the price of crude beginning to show signs of stabilization, that didn’t seem to affect earnings from the largest publicly traded oil company, ExxonMobil (XOM), which boasted the highest ever quarterly profit of $11.7B on $138B in sales. The week ahead will see numerous economic data including the important Personal Spending/Income, Factory Orders and Consumer Credit reports for June, along with 2Q Productivity figures and ISM Service numbers for July.

The DOW closed the week lower, giving back a modest 44.29 points, or 0.3%, to close at 11,326.40. The S&P finished the week up, gaining 2.53 points, or 0.2%, ending at 1,260.29. The NASDAQ, in turn, concluded the week almost flat, adding 0.43 point, ending the week at 2,310.96.

Last Week In Review

It was another volatile week for the stock market. The week ended on Friday with slight gains, although not enough for the markets to end the week in positive territory. Important news this week included the minutes from the last FOMC meeting stating the outlook for both economic activity and price pressures as "very uncertain". Economic data for the week was generally upbeat. The durable goods orders for June rose an unexpected 0.8%. Excluding transportation, orders were up 2.0%, better than the fall of 0.5% the previous month. June home sales also came in better than expected at 530,000 units, although down slightly from 533,000 the previous month. Oil continued its tumble this week, ending below $124 per barrel. Oil is now off more than 19% from its record high. While oil is still up more than 28% this year, the recent lower prices help to ease inflationary pressures. The week ahead will see nearly 130 companies from the S&P 500 reporting earnings along with several important economic reports including the advanced GDP number and the July employment report.

The DOW closed the week lower, falling 125.01 points, or 1.1%, to close at 11,370.69. The S&P fell 0.2%, dropping 2.92 points, ending the week at 1,257.76. The NASDAQ came in positive, gaining 1.0%, or 22.75 points, ending the week at 2,310.53.

Last Week In Review

The Dow and S&P 500 rallied into a third straight session to close the week out as the NASDAQ slipped on Friday after disappointing results from Google Inc (GOOG) and Microsoft Corp (MSFT) drove a technology sell-off. In the final session of the week, GOOG shares lost 10%, while MSFT shares dropped 6.3%. Elsewhere, there were plenty of corporate headlines inside the financial sector to digest. On Tuesday, Wells Fargo (WFC) reported stronger earnings than expected, while on Thursday J.P. Morgan Chase (JPM) reported results that pleased analysts, and Friday, Citigroup posted lower-than-expected losses and write-downs helping to boost the beleaguered sector after weeks of declines. In the same vein, a smattering of economic reports enticed the market as they were generally better than expected. Core inflation lengthened a more modest 0.2%, factory production increased 0.5%, and the number of initial claims expanded by a less-than-expected 18K people. The more destructive pieces of data were the CPI increasing 1.1%, and 5% over the past year along with wholesale prices escalating 1.8%, and 9.2% over the past 12 months. Retail sales also disappointed expectations. In a reversal of fortune, the price of crude fell more than $1 to close the week out at $128.88 a barrel, while just last week, oil hit an all-time high above $147 a barrel. Gas concluded the week at $4.105 a gallon, while diesel ended at $4.842. The economic data in the coming week isn't likely to be considered irrelevant to the trading action. There are key inflation reports in the form of the advanced reading for GDP and Chain Deflector, as well as the latest data on Auto Sales, Consumer Confidence and the Unemployment Rate. A total of nine Dow components will report this week, including 3M (MMM), AT&T (T), Boeing (BA), Bank of America (BAC), Caterpillar (CAT), DuPont (DD), Pfizer (PFE), McDonald's (MCD) and Merck (MRK).

The DOW closed the week higher, adding 396.70 points, or 3.5%, to close at 11,495.70. The S&P advanced 1.7%, gaining 21.16 points, ending the week at 1,260.68. The NASDAQ was positive as well, accumulating 2.1%, or 48.70 points, ending the week at 2,287.78.
