Equity Market Recap

Major averages start the week where they left offhigheras the S&P 500, DJ Industrials, DJ
Transports all posted new record highs, and the NASDAQ trades to new 52-week high (still at
highest levels since 2000). There were no major economic data points, earnings pick up later this
week, and news flow generally quiet (light volumes) with commodity prices falling (gold/oil), as
the dollar resumed its upward momentum. A few sectors stood out, with cable (TWC/CMCSA)
falling after President Obama urged the FCC for tougher Internet rules/saying high speed service
should be regulated, while Transports soared to new highs, led by airlines/rails. The Dow
Industrials posted its 5th consecutive daily gain, the Russell 2000 Index trades to 4-month highs;
S&P 4th day of gains another risk on day for Wall Street (VIX falls to 12.47)
In Asia overnight, after a date was set for an exchange link between Hong Kong and Shanghai (up
2% overnight). China said the Shanghai-Hong Kong exchange link will debut in a week, giving
foreign investors unprecedented access to its $4.2 trillion stock market. The program allowing a
net 23.5 billion yuan ($3.8 billion) of daily cross-border purchases will begin 11/17
The Obama administration said it expects up to 9.9 million people to have coverage through the
Affordable Care Acts insurance exchanges in 2015, millions fewer than outside experts
predicted. The exchanges, which reopen Saturday for enrollment, previously were expected to
enroll 13 million people for 2015, according to a projection by the Congressional Budget Office

Commodities
Energy prices fall; it was another volatile session for energy prices, as WTI crude ended at $77.40
per barrel (down 1.6%) after rising just shy of $80 earlier. Another rally fizzled amid a stronger
dollar and after OPEC signaled, yet again, that it would not cut production to boost prices. Brent
crude dropped over 1% after rising as high as $84.97 a barrel. OPEC Secretary General Abdullah
al-Badri told markets not to panic over low oil prices at an industry conference in Abu Dhabi,
according to reports (note OPEC meeting upcoming). Oil had gotten a boost earlier from news of
renewed fighting in the Ukraine-Russia conflict and positive Chinese economic data
The national average for gasoline prices dropped to $2.93 a gallon; natural gas prices pull back
from highs of $4.54 mln btu, to trade down -0.15 to $4.26 mln btu (had spiked from lows of $3.54
mln btu on 10/27 on cold weather forecasts)

 Gold prices fell $10, or 0.9% to $1,159.80 an ounce; news of a significant new Russian incursion
into Ukraine faded over the weekend without significant expansion. With no real notable followthrough besides intensified fighting, and no threat to the dollar, the gold downtrend resumed
(the rising dollar once again took its toll on commodity prices today)

Currencies
The dollar bounced off overnight lows to finish higher against the yen and euro; the dollar index
(DXY) rose 0.12 to 87.763 on the day (4-year highs still), up against the yen to 114.85 (ended near
highs of day, while the euro fell -0.2%, to $1.2427 (the move higher today follows a 2% jump last
week against the yen and 0.6% vs. the euro). No major economic data points today for currencies
to trade with

Bond Market
Slow bond market sell-off today, as yields, which opened to the downside, quietly inched higher
throughout the afternoon, with the 10-yr yield touched 2.35% (was below 2.3% early)
