U.S. Stocks Extend Last Friday’s Rebound But Close Well Off Highs

After rebounding last Friday but still posting steep weekly losses, stocks continued to regain ground during trading on Monday. The major averages all moved to the upside over the course of the session.

The major averages pulled back well off their highs going into the end of trading but remained in positive territory. The Dow jumped 353.44 points or 0.9 percent to 41,841.63, the S&P 500 climbed 36.18 points or 0.6 percent to 5,675.12 and the Nasdaq rose 54.58 points or 0.3 percent to 17,808.66.

The strength on Wall Street came as traders continued to pick up stocks at relatively reduced levels following recent weakness, which saw the S&P 500 plunge into correction territory last Thursday.

Positive sentiment was also generated in reaction to the Commerce Department’s report on U.S. retail sales in the month of February.

The Commerce Department said retail sales rose by 0.2 percent in February after tumbling by a revised 1.2 percent in January.

While the uptick by retail sales missed expectations for an increase of 0.7 percent, traders seem relieved that the data wasn’t even worse.

However, traders seemed reluctant to make more significant moves ahead of the Federal Reserve’s monetary policy announcement on Wednesday.

While the Fed is almost universally expected to leave interest rates unchanged, traders will look to the accompanying statement as well as officials’ latest projections for clues about the outlook for rates.

The Fed may also address President Donald Trump’s new tariffs amid concerns about the economic impact of the trade policies.

Sector News

Gold stocks showed a strong move to the upside on the day, driving the NYSE Arca Gold Bugs Index up by 2.7 percent to a nearly five-month closing high. The strength among gold stocks came amid a modest increase by the price of the precious metal.

Significant strength was also visible among brokerage stocks, as reflected by the 2.5 percent jump by the NYSE Arca Broker/Dealer Index. The index continued to regain ground after ending last Thursday’s trading at its lowest closing level in over four months.

Oil producer stocks also turned in a strong performance amid an increase by the price of crude oil, with the NYSE Arca Oil Index climbing by 1.7 percent.

Commercial real estate, semiconductor and natural gas stocks also saw notable strength, moving higher along with most of the other major sectors.

Other Markets

In overseas trading, stock markets across the Asia-Pacific region moved mostly higher during trading on Monday. Japan’s Nikkei 225 Index advanced by 0.9 percent, while Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index climbed by 0.8 percent and China’s Shanghai Composite Index edged up by 0.2 percent.

The major European markets also moved to the upside on the day. While the German DAX Index increased by 0.7 percent, the French CAC 40 Index and the U.K.’s FTSE 100 Index both rose by 0.6 percent.

In the bond market, treasuries gave back ground after an early upward move, closing roughly flat. As a result, the yield on the benchmark ten-year note, which moves opposite of its price, edged down by less than a basis point to 4.306 percent after hitting a low of 4.258 percent.

This started Feb 9m 1990, James Baker III the Sec of State said to Mikhail Gorbachav, NATO will not move one inch east wood if you agree to German Unification basically ending WW II. The US then cheated in 1994 when Clinton signed off on a plan to extend NATO all the way to Ukraine. This is when the so-called NEOCONS took power. Clinton as the first agent of this. Expansion of NATO started in 1999 with Poland, Hungary and Czech Republic. Russian shrugged that off thinking was no direct threat. Then the U.S. led the bombing of Servia in 1999. This was bad because because it was NATA bombing a European capital, Belgrade 78 days to break the country apart. Russians did not like that but Putin became President and swallowed it andu even started out pro-European and pro-American suggesting that they should join NATO thinking there was still some mutual respect. Then came 911 and Afghanistan and the Russians said we can support you to root out terror. In 2002 the U.S. unilaterally walked out of the anti-ballistic missile treaty which led to the US putting in missile systems in Eastern Europe which Russia views as a dire direct threat to national security, making possible a  strike’ on missiles a few minutes away from Moscow. US put in two AEGIS missile systems calling it ‘defense’. Russia asked how do we know its not Tomahawk nuclear tipped missiles. In 2003 we invaded Iraq on completely phony. In 2004-5 US was involved in a soft regime change in Ukraine. Called the ‘First Color Revolution. Put in President Yushchenko. US had it dirty hands in this meddling in other countries elections. In 2009 Yamukovych won the election and became President on the basis of neutrality for Ukraine. People of Ukraine did not want NATO. Country was divided between ethnic Ukrainians and ethnic Russians. ‘Why do want this? In 2014 the US participated actively in the overthrow of Yamukovych – a typical US regime change operation. In 2019 we walked out of the Intermediate Nuclear Force Treaty. In 2017 we walked out of the JCPOA Treaty with Iran. On Dec 15, 2021 Putin put on the table a draft US/Russia Security Agreement. The basis of it was no NATO enlargement. Jake Sullivan said the U.S. had an OPEN DOOR policy.

Yes, that’s a cartoon of me. Louis Rukeyser had us dressed up in ‘elf’ costumes on the screen broadcast each week. I’ve dated myself. That occurred for me between 1988-1996. Lou didn’t like any bearish comments, so myself and other elves got dumped in 1996.
