New Video: Delta takes off

Hello traders everywhere! Jeremy Lutz here with your mid-day market update for Tuesday, the 11th of December.

Airline stocks are turning in some of the market's best performances in today, with the NYSE Arca Airline Index up by 1.7 percent. With the gain, the index has risen to its best intraday level in well over a year.

Delta Air Lines (DAL) has helped to lead the sector higher, jumping by 5.9 percent after announcing a deal to acquire a 49 percent stake in Virgin Atlantic for $360 million.

The markets have also benefited from some upbeat German economic data as well as optimism about the looming fiscal cliff.

A report from the Center for European Economic Research showed a bigger than expected improvement in German investor confidence. The report showed that the expectations index climbed to a positive 6.9 in December from a negative 15.7 in November, turning positive for the first time since May. The current conditions index edged up to 5.7 from 5.4.

Positive sentiment has also been generated by a report from the Wall Street Journal indicating that negotiations between the White House and Republican House Speaker John Boehner have progressed steadily in recent days.

Let's see what the Trade Triangles say about the markets today.

Every Success,

New Video: Copper soars on Chinese data

Hello traders everywhere! Jeremy Lutz here with your mid-day market update for Monday, the 10th of December.

Stocks are seeing modest strength in mid-day trading today. Upbeat data from China has been partly offset by political uncertainty in Italy.

Reports showed that Chinese industrial output rose 10.1 percent year-over-year in November following a 9.6 percent increase in October, while annual Chinese retail sales growth accelerated to 14.9 percent from 14.5 percent.

However, uncertainty about the political situation in Italy following news that Prime Minister Mario Monti intends to resign has helped to limit the upside for the markets.

Monti's decision to step down came after he lost the support of former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi's People of Freedom party. Monti said he would try to pass a budget for 2013 before resigning.

New Video: Jobs and the Fiscal Cliff

Hello traders everywhere! Jeremy Lutz here with your mid-day market update for Friday, the 7th of December.

The U.S. added more jobs in November, sending stock index futures up in pre-market trading immediately after the report was released. The main numbers from the jobs report were encouraging, but the underlying report was mixed. The Labor Department said the U.S. added 146,000 jobs last month. The unemployment rate fell to 7.7 percent from 7.9 percent, the lowest since December 2008.

The unemployment rate fell largely because discouraged unemployed workers stopped looking for work, and weren't counted among the unemployed. Also, the Labor Department revised previously released jobs numbers downward, saying that employers added 49,000 fewer jobs in October and September than initially estimated. However, missing from the report is the effect that Hurricane Sandy has had on the job market in the northeast. We likely won't see that included in the report until February.

The market is also under the cloud of other challenges, notably the "fiscal cliff" drama in Washington. Congress and the White House are trying to hammer out an agreement on government spending and tax rates before Jan. 1. If they don't, government spending cuts and higher taxes will kick in. It doesn't help that House Speaker, John Boehner, said Friday that there has been no progress in negotiations to avert the "fiscal cliff" and called on President Barack Obama to produce a new offer.

Let's see what the Trade Triangles say about the markets today.

Have a great weekend,

WHO'S ON FIRST?
"Who's on First?" is a comedy routine made most famous by Abbott and Costello in the 30's. Here we are some 80 years later and the politics of the day are similar to the comedy routine of Abbott and Costello. There doesn't appear to be anyone in charge and it doesn't appear to this observer that any deal is close and in the making.

But wait, there's more trouble down the road ... Continue reading "New MarketClub TV: Who's on first?"
