An Update from Dr. Copper

What’s in Today’s Report:

  • An Update from Dr. Copper

Futures are little changed following more U.S./China trade optimism and mixed earnings.

President Trump said he expects to host Chinese Premier Xi at the White House “soon” and a trade deal could be signed in June.

Earnings after the bell were mixed at INTC badly missed, while F and AMZN both posted solid numbers.

There was no material economic data overnight.

Today should be a generally quiet day as the volume of earnings reports subsides (reports we’re watching include XOM ($0.75), AAL ($0.50) and CVX ($1.26)) and are just two economic reports: Preliminary Q1 ‘19 GDP (E: 2.2%) and Consumer Sentiment (E: 97.1).  If GDP is a bad miss (which is unlikely) that might temporarily pressure stocks, but really markets are already looking ahead to next week, which is absolutely full of important macro events and continued earnings.

What’s in Today’s Report:

  • The Next Positive Catalyst For Stocks (Potentially)
  • Weekly Market Preview
  • Weekly Economic Cheat Sheet (Chinese Exports The Big Number This Week)

Futures are slightly weaker following a generally quiet weekend as markets digest last week’s rally.

Economic data was mixed and is putting mild pressure on stocks this morning as German exports missed expectations (-1.3% vs. (E) 0.1%), reminding markets the global economy isn’t healed yet.

U.S./China trade talks ended last week without an announcement of a deal but talks will continue this week via video-conference and a deal is still widely expected.

Today there are no economic reports and no Fed speakers, so focus will remain on any U.S./China headlines (again a deal could be announced any minute).  But, barring any surprises today should be generally quiet as the big events of the week (FOMC Minutes, Chinese data, bank earnings) happen Wed-Friday.

Latest on U.S./China Trade (Is a Deal in Place?)

What’s in Today’s Report:

  • Latest on U.S./China Trade (Is a Deal In Place?)
  • Positive Signs from the Bond Market?
  • Weekly Market Preview (Jobs & The ECB)
  • Weekly Economic Cheat Sheet

Futures are modestly higher thanks to reports that the U.S. and China are extremely close to a new trade deal.

The WSJ reported the U.S. and China are aiming to sign a new trade deal on March 27th that will include the removal of all tariffs, although the article cautioned it’s not a done deal at this point.

Economically, data was weak again as British Construction PMI (50.6 vs. (E) 52.5) and EuroZone PPI (3.0% vs. (E) 3.2%) missed estimates.

There are no economic reports today so focus will remain on U.S./China trade and any official confirmation (from the U.S. or Chinese government) of the positive articles that hit overnight.
