Comments »U.S. Equity Preview: $MMM, $T, $BIG, $HMA, $ILMN, $NFLX, $TXN, $USTR, & $UTX
“3M Co. (MMM) increased 3.2 percent to $89.89. The maker of Post-It notes and fuel system tune-up kits reported first- quarter earnings excluding some items of $1.63 a share, beating the average analyst estimate of $1.49.
AT&T Inc. (T) rose 0.5 percent to $30.77. The largest U.S. phone company posted first-quarter earnings that beat analysts’ estimates after wireless subscribers spent more on browsing the Web, downloading video and sending e-mail.

Health Management Associates Inc. (HMA) : The operator of acute-care hospitals had first-quarter adjusted earnings and revenue that exceeded the average analyst projection.
Illumina Inc. (ILMN) : The U.S. maker of DNA-mapping tools that fought off a hostile takeover bid from Roche Holding AG had first-quarter adjusted earnings and revenue that exceeded the average projection of analysts surveyed by Bloomberg.

Leading Indicators In China Show Slowing and Not Hard Landing
“A leading index for China rose at a slower pace in March, adding to evidence growth in the world’s second-biggest economy is moderating.
The gauge gained 0.8 percent from the previous month to 230.6, the New York-based Conference Board said in a statement today in Beijing, citing a preliminary reading. That compares with a 1 percent rise in February that was revised up from a previously reported 0.8 percent increase.
Today’s data may add pressure on policy makers to take more measures to support expansion after the economy grew the least in almost three years. China’s slowdown may cloud the outlook for a global recovery after U.S. job gains weakened and the euro-area’s fiscal crisis threatened to spread.
“This month’s reading supports a continued slowing of the economy,” Andrew Polk, resident economist at the Conference Board China Center in Beijing, said in the statement. Volatility among indicators “suggests that significant downside risks remain,” Polk said.
China’s manufacturing may contract for a sixth month in April, according to the preliminary reading of a purchasing managers’ index released yesterday by HSBC Holdings Plc and Markit Economics. If confirmed in the final reading due May 2, that would be the longest contraction since the global financial crisis.
Gross domestic product expanded 8.1 percent in the first three months of 2012 from a year earlier, the fifth quarterly slowdown, as Premier Wen Jiabao waged a campaign to cool consumer and property prices and exports weakened on sluggish global demand…”
Comments »Australia’s Core Inflation Rate Slows Unexpectedly; Dovish Hopes Rise
“Australian core consumer prices rose last quarter at the slowest pace since 1998, driving the currency and bond yields lower as investors increased bets the central bank will resume cuttinginterest rates next week.
The so-called trimmed mean gauge of core prices advanced 0.3 percent from the previous quarter, the Bureau of Statistics said in Sydney today, the lowest rate since the third quarter of 1998. The consumer price index rose 0.1 percent from the previous three months, compared with 0.6 percent forecast in a Bloomberg News survey, as banana prices slipped 60 percent…”
Comments »European Markets Rise After a Successful Spanish and Dutch Bond Auction
“European stocks rose from a three- month low and Spanish and Dutch bonds climbed as the nations sold debt, while copper advanced before data that may show rising U.S. home sales. Australian government bond yields sank to record lows after inflation unexpectedly slowed.
The Stoxx Europe 600 Index (SXXP) appreciated 0.6 percent as of 11:27 a.m. in London while Standard & Poor’s 500 Index futures gained 0.3 percent. Spain’s 10-year bond yield dropped six basis points while the rate on the Dutch note declined seven basis points. Australia’s 10-year yield fell nine basis points to 3.68 percent.

FLASH: S&P Futs +2
US futures are mildly higher, despite weakness in Asian trade. China is down more than 1.4% and Japan 0.9%
Comments »Market Update
Comments »The S&P 500 continues to dance along the 1365 line with 1% loss. Such weakness has caused the Volatility Index to rise sharply. Euphemistically labeled the Fear Gauge, it is currently up more than 11%, but still shy of its monthly high.
Energy stocks have rolled back into the red. The sector, which was recently at the flat line after it had been down well in excess of 1% this morning, is now back to a 0.3% loss. It is still today’s top performing sector, however.
Materials stocks are at the opposite end of the spectrum today, even though resource-related stocks often trade in close correlation. As a group, Materials stocks are down 1.8%, largely because of weakness in metals and mining plays.

Market Update
The markets took the global lead and decided to sell off. We have pared some of the losses and Apple AKA NASDAQ 100 has gone green.
DOW down 140, NASDAQ down 35, S&P down 14, VIX up 11.24%, Gold down $8, Oil down $1.04, Dollar up .25
“1:30 pm : Stocks have flattened out in recent trade, leaving the major equity averages to continue wrestling with losses on the order of 1%.
Energy stocks, which overcame a loss of about 1.5% to trade flat, have been unable to extend their climb. Instead, the sector remains mired near the neutral line.
Meanwhile, the Consumer Staples sector is stuck near its session low with a loss of about 1.7%. Only Materials stocks are in such bad shape. DJ30 -137.78 NASDAQ -34.36 SP500 -13.87 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 485/1.00 bln/1990 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 615/380 mln/2355
1:00 pm : Stocks have been working to recover from an early slump, but broad market losses remain pronounced.
Underwhelming economic data from China and disappointing reports from Germany and France combined with renewed concerns about eurozone budgets to take a heavy toll on stocks this morning. The opening slump only slowed when the S&P 500 came in contact with its monthly closing low, which is separated from its monthly intraday low by roughly one point.
Although stocks have slowly trended higher since then, the broad market remains on pace for its poorest performance in about 10 calendar days. Energy stocks have managed to fully slash their losses in the face of such weakness. In fact, the sector has poked into positive territory for a fractional gain, even though oil prices are still down more than 1% at $102.50 per barrel. Earlier today oil prices dipped below $102 per barrel.
ConocoPhillips (COP 72.41, -0.47) hasn’t quite turned its loss into a gain, however. The stock’s lingering weakness comes after the integrated energy company announced this morning earnings that came short of what Wall Street had expected. Most other quarterly reports, including those of Brinker (EAT 30.69, +2.79) and SunTrust (STI 23.34, +0.74), bested expectations for the bottom line, but the batch hasn’t received much attention amid renewed macro concerns.
An interest in safety has helped take the dollar higher, such that the Dollar Index has held steady to a gain of about 0.4% for the day, while demand for the 10-year Treasury took its yield down to a monthly low closer to 1.90%. Gold has failed to garner buying interest, leaving prices to trade in the red for the day. DJ30 -144.29 NASDAQ -37.26 SP500 -14.82 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 495/935 mln/1955 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 615/350 mln/2335
12:30 pm : Stocks continue to steadily left off of session lows. They still have a ways to go before fully offsetting today’s losses. In fact, the S&P 500 remains on pace for its poorest single-session performance in 10 calendar days. As an aside, the broad market measure has booked only five losses of at least 1% in 2012.DJ30 -135.23 NASDAQ -33.85 SP500 -13.65 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 480/870 mln/1975 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 595/325 mln/2345
12:00 pm : The Energy sector remains on the mend. In fact, it is now flat for the day. The move higher from a loss well in excess of 1% has been led by the likes of Exxon Mobil (XOM 85.55, +0.25), Schlumberger (SLB 72.05, +0.35), and Baker Hughes (BHI 41.23, +0.77). Shares of XOM actually received an analyst upgrade this morning.DJ30 -130.89 NASDAQ -37.65 SP500 -13.89 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 405/765 mln/2015 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 520/295 mln/2405
11:30 am : The stock market is slowly working its way up from its session low, but it continues to wrestle with a loss in excess of 1%.
Although oil prices are still down nearly 2% to about $102 per barrel, Energy stocks have been faster in their attempt to rebound. The sector was down about 1.5% at its session low, but it has since slashed that loss to just 0.6%. Of the major sectors, only Telecom is in better shape; Telecom stocks are down 0.3% today.
Benefiting from the Energy sector’s upward push, shares of ConocoPhillips (COP 72.46, -0.42) have been trimming their losses after setting a monthly low in response to an earnings miss this morning.

11:00 am : The S&P 500 appears to have stabilized. Its descent steadied when it came in contact with its monthly closing low of 1358, or within roughly one point of its monthly intraday low of 1357. In contrast, the Nasdaq Composite recently extended its slide to notch a new monthly low, but it still has a way to go before a test of its two-month low of 2900 becomes something to monitor.DJ30 -138.19 NASDAQ -50.91 SP500 -16.61 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 325/530 mln/2040 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 390/210 mln/2480
10:30 am : Overall weakness in the commodity complex has the CRB Index down 0.9%. Its slide comes as an extension of the downtrend that has taken it lower in five consecutive weeks for a cumulative decline of more than 5%.
Gold has failed to garner buying interest, despite its defensive characteristics. The yellow metal was last quoted with a 0.8% loss at $1629.70 per ounce. Silver is in even worse shape; it was last quoted with a 3.3% loss at $30.61 per ounce.
Crude oil futures prices are down 1.8% to $102.05 per barrel after recently slipping below a mark of $102 per barrel.
Although most of the commodity complex is contending with concerted selling pressure, natural gas prices have pushed up sharply to $1.98 per MMBtu for a 2.6% gain. The energy component is only fractionally shy of its session high. DJ30 -168.62 NASDAQ -45.34 SP500 -18.41 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 280/335 mln/2035 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 335/150 mln/2490
10:00 am : Aggressive selling continues to keep stocks down with sharp losses.
Materials stocks are being punished the most among the major sectors. Their 2.3% loss comes as steel stocks slump and shares of diversified metals and miners get cut down. Gold stocks are also being punished as the price of the precious metal drops nearly 1% to just under $1630 per ounce, despite its defensive characteristics. DJ30 -166.75 NASDAQ -48.95 SP500 -18.65 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec 290/175 mln/1960 NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec 350/95 mln/2415
09:45 am : The major equity averages are all down in excess of 1% as a concerted selling effort takes hold of stocks. Financials, Materials, Energy, and Industrials are in the worst shape — each sector is down roughly 1.5% or more.
Telecom stocks, which displayed relative strength last week, are holding up relatively well in the face of widespread weakness. More specifically, the sector has managed to limit its loss to only 0.3%, thanks to support from integrated telecom plays. UK-based global telecommunications outfit Vodafone (VOD 27.76, +0.07) is actually sporting a gain. DJ30 -133.73 NASDAQ -32.25 SP500 -14.95 NASDAQ Adv/Vol/Dec NA/NA/NA NYSE Adv/Vol/Dec NA/NA/NA”

Asian Markets Fall on Shrinking European Manufacturing Data
“Stocks (MXAP) and industrial metals fell as manufacturing shrank in Europe and China. The euro weakened and the cost of insuring the region’s debt rose after the Dutch government split and French President Nicolas Sarkozy lost ground in elections.
The MSCI All-Country World Index (MXWD) slid 0.8 percent at 12:50 a.m. in London as an index of Dutch stocks sank to a four-month low. Standard & Poor’s 500 Index futures dropped 1 percent. Copper, zinc and lead declined at least 1.4 percent. The euro weakened 0.6 percent versus the dollar and the yen strengthened against all 16 of its most-traded peers. The cost of insuring European sovereign debt jumped to the highest in more than a month. The extra yieldinvestors demand to hold Dutch 10-year bonds over German bunds rose to a three-year high.
Euro-area services and manufacturing declined more than estimated in April, while data indicated China’s production will contract for a sixth month, according to a Markit Economicsand HSBC Holdings Plc. Sarkozy’s hopes of a second term rest on winning voters from the anti-euro National Front before the final round of elections. Dutch Prime Minister Mark Ruttefailed to reach a deal with a coalition party over austerity measures.
“Politics will undoubtedly provide the pepper in this week’s financial melting pot,” said Bill Blain, co-head of the special situations group at Newedge Group Ltd. in London. “A turnover in the Dutch government, and the inevitable swing toward more skeptical anti-Europe politics could well generate increased uncertainty.”
