MARKET COMMENTS


Sep E-mini S&Ps (ESU16 +0.09%) this morning are up +2.25 points (+0.10%). Monday's closes: S&P 500 -0.09%, Dow Jones -0.08%, Nasdaq -0.14%. The S&P 500 on Monday retreated from a new record high and closed slightly lower on weakness in health-care stocks after Merck fell by more than-1.5% and Allergan fell by more than -2%. There was also concern about global growth after China July exports and imports fell more than expected. On the supportive side, stocks found continued support from last Friday's strong payroll report and from Monday's +2.92% gain in crude oil prices that gave energy producers a boost.

Sep 10-year T-notes (ZNU16 -0.01%) this morning are up +0.5 of a tick. Monday's closes: TYU6 -3.00, FVU6 -1.00. Sep T-notes on Monday dropped to a 2-week low and closed lower on supply pressures ahead of this week's refunding operation and on speculation the Fed may be closer to raising interest rates after last Friday's larger-than-expected increase in U.S. July non-farm payrolls. T-notes received a little safe-haven support after stocks faded and closed slightly lower.

The dollar index (DXY00 +0.02%) this morning is down -0.041 (-0.04%). EUR/USD (^EURUSD) is down -0.0003 (-0.03%). USD/JPY (^USDJPY) is down -0.27 (-0.26%). Monday's closes: Dollar index +0.207 (+0.22%), EUR/USD +0.0002 (+0.02%), USD/JPY +0.63 (+0.62%). The dollar index on Monday settled higher on carry-over strength from last Friday's better-than-expected U.S. July non-farm payroll report, which may spur the Fed to raise interest rates. The dollar also received a boost from weakness in the Chinese yuan which fell to a 1-1/2 week low against the dollar on speculation China may need to boost stimulus measures to revive economic growth as both China July exports and imports declined more than expected.

Sep WTI crude oil (CLU16 +0.53%) this morning is up +23 cents (+0.53%) and Sep gasoline (RBU16 -0.15%) is down -0.0023 (-0.17%). Monday's closes: CLU6 +1.22 (+2.92%), RBU6 -0.0143 (-1.04%). Sep crude and gasoline on Monday settled mixed with Sep crude at a 1-1/2 week high. Crude oil was boosted by OPEC President Mohammed Al Sada's comment that OPEC members are in "constant deliberations" on stabilizing the oil market and will hold informal talks at a conference in Algiers next month. Crude oil also received support from expectations for weekly EIA crude inventories to decline -1.5 million bbl on Wednesday. Crude oil was undercut by a stronger dollar and by reduced Chinese crude demand after China July crude imports fell -1.7% m/m to 7.35 million bpd, the lowest in 6 months.The Total Investment & Insurance Solutions
