Day Ahead to Watch...




The good news for the market tomorrow is that it’s free of Federal Reserve speakers, which proved to be a bummer for stocks today.
After two disappointing economic indicators today in new home sales and consumer confidence, tomorrow brings the latest durable goods figures.
And investors should keep an eye out not just for the earnings number from KB Home, but for the commentary. There should be a glimpse of whether the current low rates are starting to bring in more home buyers. That’s not showing up in the government housing data just yet.
Here are three things that could rock markets tomorrow.
1. Durable Goods on Tap
Durable goods orders will be the focus for the market before the bell.
The Commerce Department will report May orders for goods lasting three years or more at 8:30 AM ET (14:30 GMT).
Durable goods orders are expected to come in flat after following a 2.1% decline in April, according to economists’ forecasts compiled by Investing.com.
Core durable goods orders, which exclude autos, are predicted to have increased by 0.1%.
2. Crude Inventories on Tap
The Energy Information Administration (EIA) petroleum report is due Wednesday, with many expecting another draw in crude stockpiles.
Ahead of the EIA report, the American Petroleum Institute released data that, while not perfectly correlated with the EIA's report, often serves as an early indication of weekly petroleum levels and showed crude stockpiles fell by 7.54 million barrels last week.
The EIA is also expected to report a draw in crude stockpiles of 2.54 million barrels for the week ended June 14.
Crude oil futures climbed 0.1% to settle at $57.83 a barrel today.
3. KB Home and General Mills Earnings on Deck
General Mills (NYSE:GIS) will report earnings before the U.S. markets open on Wednesday, with analysts keen to see whether the company has managed to keep costs in check and margins intact.
During the previous quarter, the company delivered an earnings beat, as efforts to keep down costs, mainly from packaging, shipment, and raw materials, supported the bottom line.
General Mills is expected to report earnings of $0.77 share on revenues to $4.24 billion.
KB Home (NYSE:KBH) is also set to report second-quarter results tomorrow after the market closes. Guidance will be closely watched following a rebound in U.S. housing activity on the back of falling mortgage rates. Industry leader Lennar (NYSE:LEN), however, fell 6.1% on Tuesday after offering weak guidance, and the Commerce Department reported a surprising sales drop in new home sales for May.

US China Tensions with Tik Tok...

https://dz.wordpress.com/tag/erica-villalon/ Wall Street was set to pull back on Tuesday as President Donald Trump's moves to force China-owned TikTok into a sale of its U.S. operations drew a sharp rebuke from Beijing, ratcheting up tensions as the world slides into a pandemic-fueled recession. Friction between the world's top two economies took a back seat in the first half of 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic crushed global growth, and an escalation now would hamper the recovery of some exporters and importers and fan fears of a deeper economic slump. With  Microsoft Corp  (O: MSFT ) looking to buy short-video app TikTok's U.S. operations, Trump said on Monday the U.S. government should get a "substantial portion" of any deal price. On Tuesday, state-backed newspaper China Daily said the country will not accept the "theft" of the technology company. Microsoft's shares were down 1.6% in premarket trading after surging more than 5% on Monday as the comp

S&P 500 is Flat...

  Erica Villalon Trading Desk The S&P 500 was little changed on Tuesday following a three-day rally as a drop in Apple shares (NASDAQ: AAPL ) overshadowed optimism from remarks made by U.S. and China officials in pledging firm commitment to a Phase One trade deal. The benchmark S&P 500 opened at a record high as the news eased some concerns the deal could be on shaky ground. Investors also anticipate the centerpiece event of the week - an annual conference of U.S. central bankers where Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell is scheduled to speak. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq logged new closing highs on Monday, boosted by signs of progress in developing treatments and vaccines for COVID-19. The benchmark index surpassed its pre-pandemic high last week even as recent economic indicators signaled a bumpy recovery from the virus-led downturn. A survey from the Conference Board showed U.S. consumer confidence unexpectedly fell in August to a six-year low. https://www.plurk.com/ericavi
