Afternoon/Evening Headlines
Bloomberg:
- Honda Motor will build its sixth North American auto-assembly plant in the US Midwest as part of a $1.46 billion expansion plan.
- The US dollar rallied sharply, posting its biggest gain against the yen in 11 months, after France’s finance minister said he would attempt to keep the euro from strengthening and US consumer prices rose more than estimates.
- Gasoline futures in NY fell to their lowest price in six weeks after a government report showed a third straight week of US inventory gains.
BOTTOM LINE: The Portfolio finished slightly lower today as losses in my Retail longs and Medical longs more than offset gains in my Internet longs, Semi longs, Energy-related shorts and Base metal shorts. I added back (IWM) and (QQQQ) shorts in the final hour, thus leaving the Portfolio 75% net long. The tone of the market was very negative today as the advance/decline line finished substantially lower, almost every sector fell and volume was heavy. Measures of investor anxiety were higher into the close. Overall, today's market performance was bearish. Today's action is the type I would expect to see near an intermediate-term bottom in the major averages. If the 10-year yield begins heading lower over the coming weeks, as I expect, recent action should prove to be an excellent buying opportunity. I will closely monitor the bond market's reaction to tomorrow's economic data before further shifting market exposure.
