Afternoon/Evening Headlines
Bloomberg:
- Gold and silver fell after crude oil dropped, easing concern that rising fuel prices will stoke inflation in the world’s biggest economies.
- Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez may rewrite the rules for ventures run by oil companies including Total SA and ConocoPhillips(COP) in the Faja, a region that rivals Canada’s oil sands as the Western Hemisphere’s biggest deposit.
BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished higher today on gains in my Internet longs, Medical longs and Energy-related shorts. I did not trade in the final hour, thus leaving the Portfolio 50% net long. The tone of the market was negative today as the advance/decline line finished lower, sector performance was mostly negative and volume was above average. Measures of investor anxiety were mostly higher into the close. Overall, today's market performance was mildly bearish considering the fall in energy prices and long-term rates. I suspect most bulls and bears are unhappy with today's performance. I expect volume and volatility to increase over the next few days. Tomorrow's consumer confidence and existing home sales reports should lead to more bond market strength.
