Slower Global Growth in china, slower Global Growth in latin america, particularly brazil. The commodities complex, new lows in exxon, new lows in chevron. Thats why the dow is underperforming the rest of the market. Conocophillips, devon energy, a halfadozen big energy names again at 52week lows. Were seeing some new lows in other commodity stocks. Groups. Ael key with a is at a 52week low. Freeport mcmoran in the copper area also at a 52week low. Another reason that were having a problem is big global companies, th
In fact it closed down 30 bips. Big deal. And in fact, to try to preach a lot of fear mongering right now is a dangerous thing to do. Having said that, theres a lot of damage underneath the surface. Theres a lot of stocks today. We talked about how weve been printing many new 52week lows across the board. And Commodity Prices are telling you something. And clearly is this deflationary . Absolutely. Is this good for the consumer . I think absolutely. Does this mean that Global Growth is plummeting . I dont think so. So on some level there is a supply issue. On some level theres an asset issue. And i think thats how you have to look at it. But to say the stock market is very healthy right now because its only a couple err percent off the highs is not something i would say. The tlt outsize move up more than a . Xle on the s p 500. Thats not good. 2 1 4 in terms of tenyear yields. Thats been a pivot point for a while. Were somewhat significantly below that. I still think yields go lower. I
The government trying to prevent a collapse of the countrys markets which lost nearly 30 since june. The news helping to spark a rally today. A gain of more than 3 in shanghai and shenzhen we have seen the imagine higher by nearly 5 . Keep in mind you go down 30 you have to go up a lot more than that in order to recover. Heres the greek stock exchange. Market there open for a second straight day after its five week closure. Down by only 1 today after the big pummeling it took yesterday after reopening and the u. S. Futures at this hour suggest that were going to have slightly negative open. The dow lower by 15 points and s p by 2 and nasdaq by 4. He is dismissing claims that oversupply is driving down prices and he believes the end of the broader commoditys route is in sight. Lets Check Oil Prices right now.

Thanks, simon. We begin this hour with trading troubles in the market. The three big areas were focusing on macro, fundamental and technical, and dominic chu will lay out the bull and bear case for each. Dom . Theres strong and theres a lot of them on both sides of the equation. Sure. Lets talk about the macro Bigger Picture scale first.

S. , yes, i know the eurozone is stepied at best and may be slipping back to recession but its holding in there and the u. S. Holding it better than most economies out there. Thats kind of the bullish case if you want to see it that way. Take a look at china though. Slowing growth there. Growing faster than any of us out here, but, still, that slowing growth may be a huge case for the downside of chinas economic woes really deepen as the market it your miles condition.
