Sep E-mini S&Ps (ESU16 +0.22%) this morning are up +4.25
points (+0.20%). Thursday's closes: S&P 500 -0.36%, Dow Jones -0.42%, Nasdaq -0.22%. The S&P 500 on Thursday
closed lower on disappointment that ECB President Draghi did not signal when
the ECB may expand stimulus and also on the -7.6 point decline in the July Philadelphia
Fed business outlook index to a 6-month low of -2.9. There was also weakness in energy producers
as crude oil fell -2.6%. Stocks
received some support from stronger-than-expected economic data with U.S.
weekly initial unemployment claims unexpectedly falling -1,000 to a 3-month low of 253,000
(better than expectations of +11,000 to 265,000) and with the +1.1% rise in
U.S. Jun existing home sales to a 9-1/3 year high of 5.57 million (stronger
than expectations of -0.9% to 5.48 million).
Sep 10-year T-note
prices (ZNU16 -0.12%) this morning are down -6 ticks.
Thursday's closes: TYU6 +8.00, FVU6 +6.50. Sep T-notes on Thursday rebounded
from a 3-week low and closed higher on the bigger-than-expected decline in the
July Philadelphia Fed business outlook index and on higher safe-haven demand
with the sell-off in stocks. T-note prices saw early weakness on the decline in
U.S. weekly jobless claims to a 3-month low and the rise in Jun existing home
sales to a 9-1/3 year high.
The dollar index (DXY00 +0.15%) this morning is up +0.140
(+0.15%). EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is down -0.0008 (-0.07%) and USD/JPY (^USDJPY)
is up +0.32 (+0.30%). Thursday's closes: Dollar index -0.201 (-0.21%), EUR/USD +0.0011 (+0.10%),
USD/JPY -1.07 (-1.00%). The dollar index on Thursday
closed lower on weakness in USD/JPY which retreated from a 3-week high and
moved lower after BOJ Governor Kuroda in a BBC Radio 4 program broadcast
dismissed the use of so-called "helicopter money" as stimulus.
EUR/USD saw some strength after ECB President Draghi said the ECB will wait to
decide on additional stimulus measures until the economic impact from Brexit is
clearer.
Sep WTI
crude oil prices (CLU16 +0.18%)
this morning are up +9 cents (+0.20%) and Sep gasoline prices (RBU16 +0.67%) are up +0.0105 (+0.77%).

on Thursday closed lower with Sep crude at a 2-1/4 month low and Sep gasoline
at a 3-1/2 month low. Crude oil prices were undercut by carryover weakness from
Wednesday's EIA data showing that EIA gasoline inventories rose by +911,000 bbl
to a 2-1/2 month high. There was also some disappointment that ECB President
Draghi failed to signal whether the ECB would boost stimulus measures. The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
