NEWS LEADERS AND LAGGARDS-----------------------------------------
So far this morning, Genzyme (GENZ), Deere & Company (DE) and
Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) lead the list of companies with positive
news, while Borders Group (BGP), SINA Corporation (SINA) and
Denny's Corporation (DENN) lead the list of companies with negative
news. Archer Daniels Midland (ADM), Gap (GPS) and Research In
Motion (RIMM) were upgraded this morning, while Capella Education
(CPLA), Allscripts Healthcare Solutions (MDRX) and Holly (HOC) were
downgraded.
MARKET OVERVIEW---------------------------------------------------
Overseas trading is pointed broadly higher this morning, as nine of
the 10 foreign indexes that we track are in positive territory. The
cumulative average return on the collective stands at a gain of
0.47%. Asian markets headed higher on Wednesday, with investor
tensions easing in the wake of China's latest data on inflation.
Japan's Nikkei extended its rally to three straight sessions, with
exporters rallying on a weaker yen. Meanwhile, European stocks are
trading broadly higher, as Sanofi-Aventis' deal to purchase Genzyme
provided a shot in the arm for investor sentiment.
After sliding to an 11-week low yesterday, crude futures are
looking to reclaim their footing this morning. With a first look at
weekly U.S. petroleum supplies set for release later today, the
March crude contract has added 40 cents to trade at $87.97 per
barrel. A weak U.S. dollar is helping provide ballast for
commodities this morning, with the greenback extending its decline
versus euro. However, the greenback continues to edge higher versus
the yen, extending its push into eight-week high territory versus
the Japanese currency. As a result, the U.S. Dollar Index has
dipped 0.16% in premarket trading. Finally, gold futures are off 60
cents at $1,373.50 an ounce in London, with the malleable metal
struggling to extend yesterday's solid gains.
PUT/CALL RATIO ---------------------------------------------------
Equity option activity on the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE)
saw 1,364,445 call contracts traded on Tuesday, compared to 754,566
put contracts. The resultant single-session put/call ratio arrived
at 0.56, while the 21-day moving average edged higher to 0.56.
SUPPORT & RESISTANCE LEVELS --------------------------------------
The S&P Depository Receipts (SPY) show support in the neighborhood
of $131.30 and resistance above $133.55. For the Nasdaq 100 (QQQQ),
support is around $57.50 and resistance is near $58.65.
