  Douglas Emmett upgrade details — to Hold at Stifel; tgt raised to $38  (38.68)Stifel upgrades DEI to Hold from Sell and raises their tgt to $38 from $30 as, despite buying the Blackstone portfolio at a sub 4% in-place cap rate and using mostly leverage in doing so, the sheer growth in rental rates (27.5% GAAP, 11.0% cash in 2016) and Net Asset Value creation occurring outweighs these issues. During 2016, firm was cautious on DEI's leverage strategy and the strength of its operating markets to their detriment. Firm believes a similar outlook of strong rental rate growth in 2017 is warranted and are therefore more bullish on DEI's prospects in spite of its current valuation.

  European Markets Update: FTSE +0.3%, DAX +0.7%, CAC +0.9%

Major European indices trade higher across the board even though Greece-related concerns have returned to the surface in recent days. The International Monetary Fund has maintained that debt relief for Greece will be needed, but European officials remain against reducing the troubled country's debt burden. Yesterday afternoon, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said Greece would have to leave the euro in order to win a debt cut. Greece is due to make its next debt payment in July, but will be unable to do so if it doesn't receive the next installment of its bailout from the eurozone. The disbursement of the bailout tranche will not occur until the Troika completes a review of the Greek fiscal situation, which has been delayed.

  • In economic data:
    • Germany's December trade surplus EUR18.40 billion (expected surplus of EUR21.40 billion; last surplus of EUR21.80 billion). December Imports 0.0% month-over-month (expected -1.0%; last 3.5%) and December Exports -3.3% month-over-month (consensus -1.1%; last 3.9%)
    • Swiss January Unemployment Rate held at 3.3%, as expected

---Equity Markets---

  • UK's FTSE is higher by 0.3% with financials and energy-related names showing relative strength. BP and Royal Dutch Shell hold respective gains of 1.3% and 0.9% while Provident Financial, Prudential, Standard Life, Barclays, RSA Insurance, RBS, and HSBC are up between 0.7% and 1.4%.
  • Germany's DAX trades up 0.7% as gains in most components offset losses in financials. Bayer leads with a gain of 2.7% while automakers Daimler and BMW show respective gains of 1.3% and 0.9%. Volkswagen trails its peers, hovering near its flat line. On the downside, Deutsche Bank is down 0.2% and Commerzbank has slid 3.1% in reaction to disappointing results.
  • France's CAC outperforms with a gain of 0.9%. Societe Generale and AXA show respective gains of 2.6% and 2.1% after SocGen reported above-consensus results. BNP Paribas and Credit Agricole are both up near 0.8%. Automakers Peugeot and Renault have given up 1.0% apiece.

  TASER announces two acquisitions to launch a new artificial intelligence group called «Axon AI»; financial details not disclosed  (26.54)

«We believe it's time for video data to move to the center of public safety records systems, with far richer and more transparent information than historic text-only systems,» said Rick Smith, CEO and co-founder of TASER. «Axon AI is focused on extracting usable information from these video records, automatically populating our new RMS system. AI will significantly streamline these business processes so officers can focus on what matters: their operational environment. Axon AI will also greatly reduce the time spent preparing videos for public information requests or court submission. This will lay the foundation for a future system where records are seamlessly recorded by sensors rather than arduously written by police officers overburdened by paperwork,» concluded Smith.

  • TASER acquired Dextro, Inc, the first computer-vision and deep learning system to make the visual contents in video searchable in real time. Agencies and departments will have the ability to quickly isolate and analyze the most important seconds of footage from massive amounts of video data. This acquisition will form the technology backbone of the new Axon AI platform.
  • The company also acquired from Fossil Group, Inc. the computer vision team that was part of Fossil Group's acquisition of Misfit, Inc. The team includes machine-vision researchers focused on improving the accuracy, efficiency and speed of processing images and video.
  • Together, these acquisitions will broaden TASER's industry-leading DEMS (Digital Evidence Management System) to enable customers to gain more insight from video, photos and audio to improve training, operations and community engagement.

  Puma shares higher by 2% after it reported Q4 results/provided FY17 outlook  (308.41)
  • Co reported Q4 EPS of (EUR 0.31) vs (EUR 0.29) last year; revs +10.2% YoY to EUR 3.626 bln, up 7.1% YoY.
  • The operating result grew by 30.2% to € 14.1 million. This development is a result of the increase of sales and the improvement of the gross profit margin in the quarter.
  • The Asia/Pacific region was also a strong driver of the overall growth of PUMA in 2016. Sales were up by 8.5% currency adjusted to € 904.5 million (+10.5% reported).
  • The gross profit margin improved 20 basis points from 45.5% last year to 45.7% for the full year 2016.
  • FY17: 
    • For the full year 2017 we expect that currency-adjusted net sales will increase at a high single-digit rate. The gross profit margin is forecasted to improve to approximately 46.0% (2016: 45.7%). Operating expenses are expected to increase at a mid to high single-digit rate, as PUMA will continue to invest in marketing, in the modernization and expansion of the owned and operated retail store network and in IT-infrastructure. At the same time, management will continue to place a strong emphasis on strict control of other operating costs.
    • At the current exchange rate levels, PUMA's management expects that the operating result will improve significantly in 2017, thanks to operating leverage, as sales will increase stronger than OPEX, combined with a slightly improved gross profit margin. EBIT for the full year 2017 is therefore expected to come in between € 170 million and € 190 million. Net earnings will also continue to improve significantly in 2017.

  Arlington Asset Investment target lowered to $16.50 at Maxim Group; Buy  (14.89)Maxim Group lowers their AI tgt to $16.50 from $19. In 4Q16, interest rates increased unexpectedly and materially post-election, driving down the price of bonds, including RMBS. Whereas AI's Agency RMBS portfolio decreased in value by ($7.27) per share, AI's hedges increased in value by only $5.73 per share (due to spread widening), so AI's book value declined 13.9%, to $16.21. Firm's new price target of $16.50, down from $19.00, equates to 1.0x AI's book value, the valuation level below which they believe mortgage REITs should not trade in this envm't.

 Overnight Treasury Summary

Treasuries Trade Down from Wednesday's Highs Ahead of Bond Auction

  • U.S. Treasury yields are moving higher this morning in a curve-steepening trade as global equities rally and the U.S. Dollar adds 0.02% to 100.30. International economic data showed that Germany's trade surplus narrowed more than expected to EUR18.4 bln in December and housing markets remained strong in the U.K. and Australia during the same month. The Reserve Bank of New Zealand kept its main policy rate at 1.75% as expected, but the central bank's guidance was more dovish than expected and that sent the kiwi lower (NZD/USD: -0.21% to 0.7217). Today's U.S. session features a $15 bln 30-year Treasury auction and some mild economic data releases. The Fed speakers are not particularly significant because they either don't vote (St. Louis Fed President Bullard) or their vote is unlikely to tip the scales in favor or against a rate hike (Chicago Fed President Evans). The S&P 500 is set to open up 0.09% to 2,296.8

    • The Reserve Bank of New Zealand kept its Official Cash Rate at 1.75%, as expected. The central bank's near-term outlook was more dovish than expected although the RBNZ now forecasts an average policy rate of 1.8% through June 2019, up from 1.7%

  Tyler Tech target lowered to $197 at Maxim Group — EPS growth to be tempered by investments in NWS  (145.99)Maxim Group lowers their TYL tgt to $197 from $210 following earnings. Firm noted NWS' win rates were much lower than TYL's traditional software products and management plans to increase R&D by about 15% or $6 million in 2017 in order to strengthen its competitive positioning. TYL was awarded $211 million of contract awards during 4Q16, up 20% year over year though much of the growth was the result of the NWS acquisition.

  O'Reilly Auto target raised to $304 at RBC Capital Mkts — 4Q results modestly better, guidance in line; Amazon concerns at bay for now  (272.93)RBC Capital Mkts raises their ORLY tgt to $304 from $296. Solid 4Q and in-line guidance. October and December were better with some election-related disruptions and milder temperatures impacting November. January was also affected by milder weather. Further, Amazon (AMZN) doesn't appear to be impacting the business as many feared. However, they still believe the potential for more modest comp/earnings growth than in recent years exists and the stock's multiple may still contract from current levels.

 European Summary

Greek 2-Year Yield Jumps Above 10%

  • European sovereign bonds are trading higher this morning as appetites grow for debt of the eurozone periphery ex-Greece. German bunds and U.K. gilts are lagging as Treasuries decline, which makes sense because the weakness in European government bonds over recent weeks did not affect Germany or the U.K. anyway. As mentioned, Greek debt is not rallying and, in fact, the Greek 2-year note yield is now above 10% after trading below 7% as recently as late January. There has been a brewing conflict between the IMF on the one hand and Greece's eurozone creditors (the European Stability Mechanism and European Financial Stability Facility) on the other. The IMF's most recent assessment of Greece's situation is that the debt burden will become explosive around 2022 and that further debt writedowns are necessary to stabilize the fiscal trajectory. Many European politicians see the IMF's participation in Greece's third bailout (this is the second review of that bailout) as a precondition for participation by the ESM and EFSF, so the IMF's concerns could be a deal-breaker. Klaus Regling, managing director of the ESM, wrote a piece in the Financial Times today, saying that the IMF is not taking into account the eurozone's resolve to keep Greece within the euro area. Greece's two-year note yield went as high as 37% in 2015, so 10% is not catastrophic although it does indicate that Greece's risk of default is much higher than it was three weeks ago
    • The IMF projects that Greece's primary surplus will rise to only 1.5% over the long run from 1% last year. The European creditors predict a primary surplus of 3.1%, so that is the size of the disagreement. The primary surplus is the government budget surplus before interest payments and so it quantifies the Greek government's ability to pay down debt
  • New Issuance:
    • The U.K. sold GBP2.50 bln of 30-year gilts with an average yield of 1.863% with a bid-to-cover of 1.63. The auction tailed by 0.5 basis points
  • European Economic Data:
    • Germany's trade surplus narrowed more than expected to EUR18.4 bln in December from EUR21.8 bln in November. The narrowing was driven by a larger-than-expected decline in exports (3.3% m/m)
    • Greece's unemployment rate was steady at 23% in November
    • In the U.K., the RICS House Price Balance rose to 25% for January from 23% for December, slightly beating forecasts
    • Norway's GDP grew 1.1% q/q in the fourth quarter, beating forecasts after a 0.6% drop in Q3
    • Switzerland's unemployment rate remained at a seasonally adjusted 3.3% in January, as expected
  • Yield Check:
    • France, 10-yr OAT: -3 bps to 0.97%
    • Germany, 10-yr bund: unch at 0.30%
    • Greece, 10-yr note: +10 bps to 7.72%
    • Italy, 10-yr BTP: -6 bps to 2.19%
    • Portugal, 10-yr PGB: -1 bp to 4.08%
    • Spain, 10-yr ODE: -6 bps to 1.63%
    • U.K., 10-yr gilt: +1 bp to 1.23%

 S&P futures vs fair value: +2.00. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +1.40.

The S&P 500 futures trade two points above fair value.

Equity indices in the Asia-Pacific region ended Thursday on a mostly higher note while Japan's Nikkei (-0.5%) underperformed. The index responded to an uptick in the yen during yesterday's Wall Street session, but the Japanese currency (112.40) has retraced the bulk of yesterday's advance, trading lower by 0.4% against the greenback. The People's Bank of China decided to forego reverse repurchase operations for the fifth consecutive session while the Reserve Bank of New Zealand left its key interest rate at 1.75%, as expected.

  • In economic data:
    • Japan's December Core Machinery Orders +6.7% month-over-month (expected 3.1%; last -5.1%); +6.7% year-over-year (expected 4.6%; previous 10.4%). M2 Money Stock +4.1% year-over-year (consensus 4.0%; last 4.0%). Machine Tool Orders +3.5% year-over-year (last 4.4%)
    • Australia's December HIA New Home Sales +0.2% month-over-month (last 6.1%)
    • New Zealand's December Building Consents -7.2% month-over-month (last -9.6%)

---Equity Markets---

  • Japan's Nikkei lost 0.5%, returning to its closing level from Tuesday. Hitachi, Ebara, Fuji Heavy Industries, JTEKT, Yokohama Rubber, Nissan Motor, Toyota Motor, Honda, and Mazda Motor posted losses between 1.9% and 8.1%. On the upside, SUMCO, Konami, DeNa, and J Front Retailing added between 1.7% and 6.2%.
  • Hong Kong's Hang Seng added 0.2% even though more than half of its components ended lower. Belle International jumped 5.1% while property names like China Resources Land, Sino Land, China Overseas, and Cheung Kong Property Holdings added between 0.2% and 4.7%.
  • China's Shanghai Composite climbed 0.5%. Tibet Urban Development & Investment, Chengdu Xuguang Electronics, Shaanxi Baoguang Vacuum Electronic Apparatus, and Luenmei Quantum rose between 5.4% and 7.4%.
  • India's Sensex ticked up 0.1%. Infosys, ITC, and Wipro all gained near 1.0% apiece. Tata Consultancy jumped 2.7% while financials lagged. ICICI Bank, AXIS Bank, SBI, and HDFC Bank all lost near 0.5%.

Major European indices trade higher across the board even though Greece-related concerns have returned to the surface in recent days. The International Monetary Fund has maintained that debt relief for Greece will be needed, but European officials remain against reducing the troubled country's debt burden. Yesterday afternoon, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble said Greece would have to leave the euro in order to win a debt cut. Greece is due to make its next debt payment in July, but will be unable to do so if it doesn't receive the next installment of its bailout from the eurozone. The disbursement of the bailout tranche will not occur until the Troika completes a review of the Greek fiscal situation, which has been delayed.

  • In economic data:
    • Germany's December trade surplus EUR18.40 billion (expected surplus of EUR21.40 billion; last surplus of EUR21.80 billion). December Imports 0.0% month-over-month (expected -1.0%; last 3.5%) and December Exports -3.3% month-over-month (consensus -1.1%; last 3.9%)
    • Swiss January Unemployment Rate held at 3.3%, as expected

---Equity Markets---

  • UK's FTSE is higher by 0.2% with financials and energy-related names showing relative strength. BP and Royal Dutch Shell hold respective gains of 1.1% and 0.7% while Provident Financial, Prudential, Standard Life, Barclays, RSA Insurance, RBS, and HSBC are up between 0.5% and 1.1%.
  • Germany's DAX trades up 0.4% as gains in most components offset losses in financials. Bayer leads with a gain of 2.3% while automakers Daimler and BMW show respective gains of 0.4% and 0.6%. Volkswagen trails its peers with a loss of 1.1%. Deutsche Bank has fallen 0.5% while Commerzbank has slid even further, giving up 2.4%, in reaction to disappointing results.
  • France's CAC outperforms with a gain of 0.6%. Societe Generale and AXA show respective gains of 2.7% and 1.2% after SocGen reported above-consensus results. BNP Paribas and Credit Agricole are both up near 0.5%. Automakers Peugeot and Renault have given up 1.6% apiece.

  Transocean initiated with a Buy at R. F. Lafferty; tgt $21  (13.36)R. F. Lafferty initiates RIG with a Buy and price target of $21. Transocean has managed this current downcycle in the market by controlling costs and reducing obsolete rigs. With countless years of weak outlook, the oil industry is looking for recovery in offshore exploration and drilling in 2018. However, firm believes the equities of contract drillers will appreciate in anticipation of this impending recovery, as crude prices move closer to the $60 per barrel range. With further catalysts such as new rig contract wins, higher fleet utilization, and an increase in day-rate announcements by mgmt, firm believes the stock has significant upside from current levels.

  S&P futures vs fair value: +2.80. Nasdaq futures vs fair value: +2.10.

Thursday's session is on track for a slightly higher open as the S&P 500 futures trade three points above fair value.

Conversely, U.S. Treasuries are lower this morning, giving back nearly all of yesterday's gains. The benchmark 10-yr yield is currently three basis points higher at 2.36%.

On the earnings front, Coca-Cola (KO 41.27, -0.74) has slipped 1.9% in pre-market trade as disappointing guidance has outweighed the company's better than expected revenues. Twitter (TWTR 16.78, -1.94) is also lower in reaction to the company's latest earnings report. Shares of TWTR have plunged 10.0% after the company missed revenue expectations and issued below-consensus guidance.

Kellogg (K 74.50, +1.01), on the other hand, is up 1.4% this morning on better than expected earnings per share. CVS Health (CVS 78.69, +1.66), also from the consumer staples sector, is higher by 2.2% after beating earnings estimates and reaffirming 2017 earnings guidance.

Earlier this morning, the latest weekly initial jobless claims count totaled 234,000 while the Briefing.com consensus expected a reading of 250,000. Today's tally was below the unrevised prior week count of 246,000. As for continuing claims, they rose to 2.078 million from the revised count of 2.063 million (from 2.064 million).

Investors will also receive December Wholesale Inventories (Briefing.com consensus 1.0%) on Thursday. The report will cross the wires at 10:00 am ET.

  Select Comfort target lowered to $20 at Wedbush   (19.77)Wedbush lowers their SCSS tgt to $20 from $22 on lower estimates. SCSS missed 4Q16 guidance and sell-side expectations on comps and EPS, while also issuing 2017 guidance below expectations. While the company's vertically integrated business model has advantages in this industry undergoing structural change, tough competition, continued investments and imperfect execution are dampening earnings growth and adding uncertainty to the outlook.

  MINDBODY target raised to $30 at Imperial Capital  (25.15)Imperial Capital raises their MB tgt to $30 from $25 following Q4 earnings. Firm's tgt is a premium to the vertical software comp group, which firm believes is warranted given MB's potential for higher monetization from new products. They continue to see momentum in MB's core business and they see potential for new, high margin rev streams as co develops a dynamic transaction platform. While the stock might pause, digesting 4Q results and 2017 guidance, it is important to remember that 2016 revenue guidance and expected EBITDA profitability both improved steadily during the year; Outperform.

Currency Commentary: DXY Jumps on Trump Tax Talk
  • The Dollar Index saw a spike at approx 9:55am as President Trump stated he would announce a 'phenomenal' tax plan in 2-3 weeks. There was little detail on the news but one would assume market expectations for a border tax have declined given the recent rally in retailers. Regardless of the details, a tax deal would be seen as potentially inflationary and pro-dollar. Thus we got the spike in the greenback with the DXY running approx 40 pips. A few other things to add here, the dollar held up well despite pretty dovish comments from St Louis Fed President James Bullard. Mr. Bullard is not a voter this year so perhaps his comments were viewed as having less of an impact on Fed direction. In addition, the snow storms impacting the East Coast have clipped volume on the day. That has helped make some of these moves in currencies a little exaggerated. 
  • The euro was testing the 1.07 level before seeing the sell off on the dollar ramp. Of interest, the German Trade Balance surplus came in at EUR 18.4 bln compared to expectations of approx EUR 23 bln. One data point will not make a difference but trade data from the region will be closely watched following attacks by the Trump Administration on the value of the euro.
  • The pound is holding steady at the 1.25 level. Yesterday, Theresa May's government passed its last parliamentary hurdle for initiating Brexit. This should clear the way for Article 50 to be invoked at the end of March. A 30-year gilt auction this morning saw a yield of 1.86% and bid/cover of 1.6x comapred to 1.96% and 1.7x, respectively in the prior month sale.
  • The yen dipped back below the 112 level as it slides to 113.28. The move comes ahead of tomorrow's visit by PM Shinzo Abe as he arrives at the White House for bilateral trade talks.
  • The China yuan is sliding lower as it moves to 6.86. The currency is down 6 pips since the Chinese markets came back from the New year Celebration (BONDX, FOREX).

 Midday Market Summary: Major Averages Hover Near All-Time Highs at Midday

Equity indices have pushed through the cautious tone that has defined this week thus far to hit new record highs in the first half of Thursday's session. The S&P 500, the Nasdaq, and the Dow all hold a gain of 0.6% while the small-cap Russell 2000 index (+1.5%) outperforms.

The most notable factor driving the market higher today has been President Trump's announcement that he will release a major tax announcement in the next few weeks. However, it is important to note that a snowstorm on the East Coast has kept some participants away from their trading desks today, which makes it easier for the market to be pushed around.

The financial sector (+1.3%), which paced the post-election rally on promises of deregulation and tax reform, has provided solid sector leadership today following Mr. Trump's announcement. The space has also been aided by a steepening yield curve as short-term Treasuries have been able to resist selling pressure better than their longer-dated peers. The benchmark 10-yr yield is six basis points higher at 2.38% while the 2-yr yield is up only one basis point at 1.15%.

Energy (+0.8%) and industrials (+0.9%) have also outperformed the benchmark index, while the top-weighted technology sector (+0.3%) lags. The space's gains have been capped by a lackluster performance from Apple (AAPL 131.82, +0.35) and a bearish sentiment among chipmakers. The PHLX Semiconductor Index is lower by 0.3%.

Consumer staples (+0.2%) neighbor the technology sector following mixed earnings results from its components this morning. Coca-Cola (KO 41.02, -1.01) has slipped 2.4% after the company's disappointing guidance overshadowed above-consensus revenues. Meanwhile, CVS Health (CVS 76.60, -0.45) also trades lower, losing 0.6% after worse than expected revenues outweighed better than expected earnings. On the upside, Kellogg (K 76.50, +2.98) trades 4.1% higher after reporting above-consensus earnings per share.

The lightly-weighted utilities (-0.8%) and materials (unch) sectors are the only spaces trading in the red. Sealed Air (SEE 45.73, -4.47) has had its hand in pushing the materials space lower, plunging 8.9% in reaction to the company's disappointing guidance and lower than expected revenues.

Today's economic data included Initial Claims and December Wholesale Inventories:

  • The latest weekly initial jobless claims count totaled 234,000 while the Briefing.com consensus expected a reading of 250,000. Today's tally was below the unrevised prior week count of 246,000. As for continuing claims, they rose to 2.078 million from the revised count of 2.063 million (from 2.064 million).
    • The key takeaway from the report is that employers appear reluctant to trim their payrolls, which is a reflection of the tightness in the labor market and the difficulty in finding new employees with the right skill set.
  • December Wholesale Inventories increased 1.0%, which was in line with the Briefing.com consensus. The prior month's reading was left unrevised at 1.0%.
    • December marked the second straight month that wholesale inventories increased 1.0%, helping to explain the positive contribution the change in inventories made to Q4 GDP growth.

Investors will not receive any more economic data on Thursday.

 Currency Market Summary

Dollar Trades near 8-Day High as Trump/Abe Meeting Looms

  • The U.S. Dollar Index is up 0.36% to 100.64 today as the greenback rallies against all of the majors, but particularly the Japanese yen. Japan's prime minister, Shinzo Abe, is set to meet with U.S. President Trump on Friday and so investors may be trimming yen longs ahead of that event. The Bank of Japan has also been buying JGBs from the five to 10-year tenor every day since last Friday and lower rates in Japan should push capital eastward across the Pacific. Stocks traded sharply higher around the world today as Trump said that there will be an announcement on tax cuts in two to three weeks, so that helped push the U.S. dollar higher and weighed on the funding currencies (euro, yen, Swissy). The kiwi dollar fell sharply after the Reserve Bank of New Zealand kept rates on hold but issued a more dovish statement than expected
  • EUR/USD: -0.25% to 1.0661
    • Germany's trade surplus narrowed more than expected to EUR18.4 bln in December from EUR21.8 bln in November. The narrowing was driven by a larger-than-expected decline in exports (3.3% m/m)
    • Greece's unemployment rate was steady at 23% in November
  • GBP/USD: -0.17% to 1.2502
    • In the U.K., the RICS House Price Balance rose to 25% for January from 23% for December, slightly beating forecasts
  • USD/CHF: +0.52% to 1.0009
    • Switzerland's unemployment rate remained at a seasonally adjusted 3.3% in January, as expected
  • USD/JPY: +1.00% to 113.10
    • Japan sold JPY800 bln ($7.14 bln) of 30-year JGBs with an average yield of 0.907% and a bid-to-cover ratio of 3.23
      • While the auction's reception was not all that strong, the 10-year JGB yield trade below 0.08% for the first time this month
      • The Bank of Japan has intervened in the JGB market three times since last Friday to purchase JGBs with maturities from five to 10 years
    • Separately, Core Machinery Orders jumped by 6.7% m/m in December (6.7% y/y), beating estimates and reversing November's 5.1% drop
  • USD/CNY: -0.10% to 6.869
  • USD/RUB: -0.48% to 58.92
  • USD/TRY: -0.81% to 3.682
  • USD/BRL: +0.29% to 3.126
  • USD/MXN: -0.79% to 20.34
    • Mexico's central bank hiked its overnight rate by 50 basis points to 6.25%
    • The central bank expects consumer price inflation to begin slowing by year-end and then average 3% in 2018
  • USD/CAD: -0.10% to 1.3136
    • Canada's New Housing Price Index edged up by 0.1% m/m in December, missing forecasts and slowing from November's 0.2% growth
  • AUD/USD: unch at 0.7631
    • Australi's HIA New Home Sales Index edged 0.2% higher m/m in December after a 6.1% gain in November
  • NZD/USD: -0.59% to 0.7189
    • The Reserve Bank of New Zealand kept its Official Cash Rate at 1.75%, as expected. The central bank's near-term outlook was more dovish than expected although the RBNZ now forecasts an average policy rate of 1.8% through June 2019, up from 1.7%

  Sector Summary: Energy leads the broader market higher, crude futures extend yesterday's gains ahead of tomorrow's rig count, & natural gas closes modestly higher for a 3rd consecutive session post-EIA

The Energy Sector (XLE, +1.3%) leads the broader market (SPY, +0.7%) higher as the last hour of the trading day draws near. Crude oil (USO, +1.0%) futures extend yesterday's surprise post-EIA gains, despite EIA reporting a notably larger-than-expected build in crude yesterday. Lastly, natural gas (UNG, +0.1%) futures closed pit trading modestly higher after EIA reported a draw in-line with expectations. The data is summarized below:

EIA natural gas highlights:

  • Natural gas inventory showed a draw of -152 bcf vs expectations for inventory to be a draw of approx. -153 bcf.
  • Working gas in storage was 2,559 Bcf as of Friday, February 3, 2017, according to EIA estimates.
  • Stocks were 325 Bcf less than last year at this time and 45 Bcf above the five-year avg of 2,514 Bcf.
  • At 2,559 Bcf, total working gas is within the five-year historical range.

Baker Hughes (BHI, +0.5%) rig count data will be released tomorrow at 1 pm ET.

  • Last week's data showed a US oil rig count increase for the third consecutive week in a row.
  • US oil rigs have been added for 13 out of the past 14 weeks.
  • The number of active U.S. rigs drilling for oil rose by 17 to 583 rigs last week.
  • The rig count is at its highest level since Oct 2015.

Factors affecting the price of oil:

  • Crude oil extended yesterday's post-EIA gains ahead of tomorrow's rig count data, shrugging off yesterday's builds in both crude & gasoline stocks.
  • Oil prices saw a boost from Energy Information Administration data published yesterday showing gasoline inventories in the U.S. fell by 0.9 mln barrels in the most recent week, vs expectations for an increase.
  • Gasoline implied demand rebounded last week, up 631k barrels a day to 8.941 mln barrels a day.
  • The latest EIA data also showed U.S. crude production increased by 63k barrels a day last week to 8.98 mln barrels.
  • Reminder: On Tuesday, the EIA predicted U.S. production growth of ~100k barrels a day this year from 2016, and another 500k barrels a day by 2018.

Other factors to consider:

  • On Tuesday, EIA lowered their US crude oil production growth forecast to +0.3%, compared to last month.
    • EIA now expects US production to grow about 100k bpd to 8.98 mln barrels in FY17.
    • EIA also noted they expect US oil production to grow by 550k bpd in 2018.
  • It is worth noting that the coordinated OPEC/non-OPEC production cuts call for a total output reduction of 1.8 mln barrels/day.
    • Russia has already cut 100k barrels/day and has committed to cut as much as 300k barrels/day as part of the agreement.
    • The total OPEC portion of the accord is expected to result in a reduction of ~1.2 mln barrels/day.
    • Saudi Arabia is expected to make up the bulk of the OPEC portion of the cut.
  • On Monday, Iran reported they found a massive 15 bln barrel oil reserve & expect about 2 bln barrels to be recoverable.
    • Note that Iran has been raising their oil production since international sanctions over its nuclear program were lifted in 2016.

  New York Times initiated with a Sell at Singular Research; tgt $7.80  (14.80 +0.00)Singular Research initiates NYT with a Sell and price target of $7.80 as they feel NYT's efforts to modernize and transition from print to digital has had mixed results and will fail. NYT is trapped by legacy costs and embedded structural disadvantages, to wit a $500 million pension fund deficit. Additionally, NYT's efforts to achieve significant penetration in digital ad space is too little, too late in a market place dominated by Google (GOOGL) & Facebook (FB). Further, NYT, after the Trump Bump, will experience dwindling revs, ebit and eps, a culture clash, a mismatch of demographics, old print vs. younger digital readers.

  Treasury Market Summary

Treasuries Take Losses as Trump Talks Taxes

  • U.S. Treasuries unwound all of Wednesday's gains today as global equities rallied and President Trump said that a tax plan would be announced in two to three weeks. Pessimism about the size and timing of fiscal stimulus has taken the mojo out of the reflation trade in recent weeks and Trump's remarks today, while far from conclusive, prompted Treasury selling, equity buying, and dollar buying. The U.S. economic data was light although initial jobless claims came within a hair of a 43-year low last week (234K). St. Louis Fed President Bullard remains an uber-dovish non-voter (irrelevant) and said that only one rate hike would probably be necessary in 2017. Chicago Fed President Evans (FOMC voter) said that three rate hikes this year may «not be unreasonable» and that inflation is moving towards target but remains too low. The $15 bln 30-year auction came out mostly as expected after the very weak result to Wednesday's 10-year auction. The U.S. Dollar Index is up 0.36% to 100.64 and the S&P 500 is 0.65% higher at 2,309.65, on track for all-time closing high
  • Yield Check:
    • 2-yr: +3 bps to 1.18%
    • 5-yr: +6 bps to 1.87%
    • 10-yr: +8 bps to 2.40%
    • 30-yr: +6 bps to 3.01%
  • News:
    • Initial jobless claims fell to within a whisker of their 43-year low of 233K last week. Claims for the week ending February 4 totaled 234K, below the Briefing.com consensus of 250K and the prior week's reading of 246K
      • Continuing jobless claims rose to 2078K for the week ending January 28 from the prior week's 2063K
    • U.S. wholesale inventories rose 1.0% m/m in December, matching both the Briefing.com consensus and November's growth
      • December marked the second straight month that wholesale inventories increased 1.0%, helping to explain the positive contribution the change in inventories made to Q4 GDP growth
      • Wholesale sales rose 2.6% m/m, the fastest growth since March 2011
    • Chicago Fed President Evans said this afternoon that he supports gradual rate hikes and that inflation needs to hit 2% for the Fed to maintain credibility
      • He went on to say that three rate hikes in 2017 «not unreasonable» but that inflation is too low, although it is moving in the right direction
    • St. Louis Fed President James Bullard (non-FOMC voter) said this morning that he does not expect the incoming administration's policies to overheat the U.S. economy in 2017
      • Bullard also said that he sees no undue inflation pressure building so far and that most of the undershooting of the Fed's 2% target was due to commodity prices
      • On the subject of the Fed's balance sheet, Bullard said, «A more natural normalization process [than the current Fed funds-based one] would allow the entire yield curve to adjust appropriately as normalization proceeds»
      • He also said that only one rate hike is necessary in 2017 and that no decision is imminent in any sense on balance sheet wind-down
    • $15 bln 30-year Treasury auction
      • High yield: 3.005% (when-issued: 3.007%)
