Comments »Energy stocks recently staged a strong run that has the sector sporting a 0.6% gain. Although that isn’t quite as strong as the 0.7% gains currently displayed by Consumer Staples stocks and Health Care stocks, the Energy sector carries much more influence because of its market weight.
Still, overall gains remain only modest as stocks chop along in the final session of March. As things currently stand, the S&P 500 will book a first quarter gain of 12%, which is owed to an impressive run that has taken the broad market to 11 weekly gains in 13 tries.
Financials and Tech have been integral in the stock market’s first quarter performance, but both sectors have been relatively quiet today. While Financials have at least worked their way up to a 0.3% gain, the Tech sector remains mired in negative territory with a narrow loss of 0.1%.
Corporate news has been without any real consequence and economic data has hardly been influential in today’s trade.
Personal income increased in February by slightly slower-than-expected 0.2%, but personal spending proved better than expected by climbing 0.8%. Separately, the Chicago PMI slipped more than expected to 62.2 in March, while the final reading on consumer sentiment in March from the University of Michigan improved unexpectedly to 76.2.

Rail Traffic Continues to Show Mixed Results
“More mixed news on the rail front this week as total carloads posted a sharp 7.2% decline and intermodal traffic posted a 4.2% increase. The declines in coal are dragging down the overall data substantially. Nevertheless, the 10 week moving average in intermodal declined a bit to 3.2% and is consistent with a sluggish, but growing economy. The AAR has the details on this week’s report:
Comments »“The Association of American Railroads (AAR) today reported mixed weekly rail traffic for the week ending March 24, 2012, with U.S. railroads originating 278,393 carloads, down 7.2 percent compared with the same week last year. Intermodal volume for the week totaled 232,401 trailers and containers, up 4.2 percent compared with the same week last year.
Twelve of the 20 carload commodity groups posted increases compared with the same week in 2011, with petroleum products, up 26.8 percent; coke, up 15.1 percent, and motor vehicles and equipment, up 13.8 percent. The groups showing a significant decrease in weekly traffic included coal, down 17.4 percent, and grain, down 14.2 percent.
Weekly carload volume on Eastern railroads was down 4.3 percent compared with the same week last year. In the West, weekly carload volume was down 9.1 percent compared with the same week in 2011.
For the first twelve weeks of 2012, U.S. railroads reported cumulative volume of 3,392,128 carloads, down 2.2 percent from last year, and 2,685,673 trailers and containers, up 2.4 percent from last year.”

A Classic Samich Day
The markets got off to a rocky start. Worries about Spain mounted by the European close and we hit the lows of the day. Tech and banks took us down, but by the end of the day the the Teflon Don market came back and went GREEN. If you had a samich you might not have noticed the intraday head fake to the downside.
One good note is that oil took it hard on the chin as the IEA said they will act to combat higher crude, worries over China, and the idea that France will join others in tapping oil reserves is taking hold…..

BERNANKE: Here’s How QE Works, And It’s NOT By Printing Money
In a lecture given to George Washington University students today, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke presented a simple explanation of how long-term asset purchases actually work to stimulate the economy.
His explanation is key to understanding whether or not this was the best course of action for the U.S. at the time.
Bernanke noted that the Federal Reserve traditionally owns a significant quantity of long-term asset purchases, and owned about $800 billion before the crisis.
According to his explanation, here’s how the process worked:
- The Fed began purchasing Treasuries and government-sponsored enterprise (GSE) securities, making them more difficult for commercial banks to obtain.
- In doing so, the Fed drastically increased the demand for Treasuries, so bondholders could raise the price they charged for the securities in comparison to the return.
- This had the effect of reducing interest rates without direct monetary policy, since interest rates are closely related to the rate of return on Treasuries.
- Low availability drove investors to put money in corporate bonds, thus stimulating the economy.
To keep in mind, this chart demonstrates the massive scale of this program.

Further, Bernanke rebuffed analyst descriptions of how the Fed “printed money” in order to finance these asset purchases. Instead, the Fed credits “the accounts that commercial banks hold with the Fed [which are] part of what’s called the monetary base,” but not part of the cash supply.
In order to offset asset purchases and normalize its balance sheet, the Fed simply ticked up the number of assets that commercial banks held with the Fed. Therefore, the Fed did not add to the cash supply, but it did some behind-the-scenes balance sheet manipulations that had the effect of expanding the money in the system.
This chart breaks down the liabilities side of the Fed’s balance sheet:

These were inflationary measures, but at the time the Fed was far more worried about deflation than inflation, so on the whole did not consider this a concern.

“11:30 am : Tech stocks had made an attempt to turn higher earlier this morning, but the move lost momentum as it approached the neutral line. Subsequent selling pressure has left the sector to descend to a session low so that it trades with a 0.7% loss.
Among Tech issues, heavyweights like Google (GOOG 649.45, -6.31),Microsoft (MSFT 31.88, -0.31), and Apple (AAPL 611.20, -6.42) are having the most adverse impact on the sector.

11:00 am : Stocks recently chopped their way down to a new session low, taking the S&P 500 even farther below the 1400 line. There isn’t a single sector in positive territory.
Financials, now down 1.6%, continue to weigh heavy on trade. Their weakness today contrasts with the relative strength they displayed in the prior session, when the sector staged a late rally that helped the broad market halve its loss. Banks led the prior session’s upswing, but they’re leading losses in the latest round of action.
