MARKET WRAPS
Watch For:
U.S. Trade for June; U.S. Weekly Jobless Claims; Canada Trade
for June.
Opening Call:
Stock futures edged up Thursday ahead of new data on the trade
deficit and unemployment claims that could provide fresh insights
into the pace of the economic recovery.
The major stock indexes have wobbled in recent days amid
concerns that the rebound may be slowing and the Delta variant of
Covid-19 is leading to a surge in cases. Fresh data Wednesday
showed that the private sector added half as many jobs in July as
economists expected. Despite the volatility, the S&P 500 is
still hovering near its all-time high, boosted by strong quarterly
results from the biggest businesses.
"We're pretty positive, we think that the earnings data is very
strong," said Caroline Simmons, U.K. chief investment officer at
UBS Global Wealth Management. Equity markets can continue to climb
by 5% to 10% over the next year, she said.
The continued signs of weakness in the labor market also
suggests that the Federal Reserve will hold off on scaling back its
easy money policies for now, Ms. Simmons added.
"Unemployment is higher than it was pre-pandemic, and central
banks feel there is still excess capacity in the labor market," Ms.
Simmons said. "When it comes to it, we believe that monetary
tightening will be relatively gradual, well flagged, and actually,
equities will probably be able to absorb it."
Pharmaceutical company Moderna, food giant Kellogg and media
conglomerate ViacomCBS are slated to report their results ahead of
the opening bell. Novavax, Beyond Meat and American International
Group are scheduled to post earnings after markets close.
Data on the U.S. trade balance for June is due at 8:30 a.m. ET.
Economists expect the trade deficit to have widened after
preliminary figures showed record goods imports with Americans
buying more from overseas.
Data on jobless claims, seen as a proxy for layoffs, are set to
be released at 8:30 a.m. ET. The figures released last week showed
a moderate decline in claims, but they remain in a range that is
nearly double the pre-pandemic average.
Overseas, the pan-continental Stoxx Europe 600 rose. The Bank of
England's latest monetary policy decision, economic forecasts and
minutes are due at 7 a.m. ET. Investors expect policies to remain
on hold and are awaiting signals on when the central bank could
begin to pull back on stimulus measures.
"We'll be looking for signs, anything from the BOE that adds to
the hawkishness in the developed-market central bank narrative,"
said Arun Sai, multiasset strategist at Pictet Asset Management.
Earlier this week, the Reserve Bank of Australia said it would go
ahead with its plan to taper its bond-buying program despite an
uptick in Covid-19 cases.
Among European equities, Germany's Siemens rose close to 5%
after raising its full-year outlook and reporting revenue that beat
analysts' expectations. Bayer slipped over 5% after it posted a net
loss and said earnings continued to be affected by litigation costs
for its Roundup weedkiller.
The Shanghai Composite Index slid by the close of trading, and
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index also declined. Chinese stocks slipped
due to concerns about restrictions on movement amid new outbreaks
of Covid-19, according to analysts at Commerzbank.
Forex:
The dollar traded flat as investors exercise caution ahead of
the release of July's U.S. nonfarm payrolls report on Friday.
"The Federal Reserve has signalled clearly that it wants to see
stronger employment growth to encourage it to begin tapering
quantitative easing, which makes Friday's nonfarm payrolls report
even more important for U.S. dollar direction in the near-term,"
MUFG Bank currency analyst Lee Hardman said.
ADP private payrolls data trailed expectations on Wednesday,
which will have triggered downward revisions to forecasts for Labor
Department's nonfarm payrolls report, he said. The DXY dollar index
traded flat at 92.2400.
Sterling rose as traders await the Bank of England's policy
decision. RBC Capital Markets currency strategist Adam Cole notes
that BOE policymaker Michael Saunders and the central bank's Deputy
Governor Dave Ramsden recently discussed paring back bond
purchases, although it is unlikely a majority will vote for this
yet.
"A substantial part of the government's fiscal support is being
withdrawn at the end of September and we think risk management
considerations mean that there is still a majority in favor of
continuing with quantitative easing as planned."
The BOE is likely to vote 6-2 to maintain QE, with Saunders and
Ramsden the only outliers, which could be disappointing for some
sterling investors, Cole said.
Bonds:
In bond markets, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury
note edged up to 1.187% from 1.183% on Wednesday.
A bond market rally that drove yields sharply lower has prompted
Pictet Asset Management to take profits on U.S. Treasuries and it
has also reduced them to "neutral" from "overweight".
The downward move in bond yields was initiated by signs that the
U.S. economic growth had started to peak, Pictet AM says. However,
the bond rally was partly technical, helped by an unwinding of
short positions, it said.
"With real yields also having hit all-time lows, investors have
additional reasons to believe the market is richly valued,
particularly at a time when the Fed is seen to be thinking about
the first stages of monetary tightening," Pictet AM said.
Commodities:
Oil prices fell after both benchmarks recorded significant
losses Wednesday. Those declines have come as market players
continue to revise their demand expectations amid the spread of the
Delta variant, said DNB Markets' Helge Andre Martinsen.
In addition, Energy Information Administration data showed a
surprise large build in U.S. crude inventories, although "the key
reason for the unexpected rise in crude inventories was the
continued inflated net crude imports level," Martinsen said.
Separately, Saudi Aramco raised its selling prices for the U.S.
and Asia but cut them for Europe, demonstrating the speed with
which demand expectations for various regions have changed in
recent months.
LME three-month copper prices were down 0.4% at $9,432 a metric
ton after coming under Delta-variant-related pressure Wednesday
along with the rest of the commodities basket.
On top of that, a strengthening U.S. dollar has also put
pressure on metals, according to ING's Warren Patterson.
For copper specifically, Chile's output rose 2.3% in June from
the same month last year, primarily due to gains at its Codelco
mine, although production so far this year is down 1.2% from the
same period in 2020.
London gold prices were flat after receiving a boost from weak
U.S. jobs numbers.

Weber Prices Below Expectations as Grill Maker Downsizes Its
IPO
Grill maker Weber Inc. sold fewer shares at a lower price than
expected in its initial public offering, people familiar with the
matter said, the latest sign the new-issue market may be cooling
after a torrid run this summer.
Weber sold 18 million shares at $14 apiece, the people said,
ahead of its trading debut Thursday. The company and its selling
shareholders had been planning to sell roughly 47 million shares at
a price between $15 and $17. Instead, only the company sold shares
in the offering, which pegs Weber's fully diluted valuation at
roughly $5 billion.

Jobless Claims Have Settled at Elevated Levels After Steady
Declines
After a steady decline this spring, worker filings for new
unemployment benefits have settled this summer at a level that is
nearly double the pre-pandemic average.
The trend, some economists say, could be happening while the
labor market continues to recover from the pandemic and be part of
a development where claims remain higher because of greater
awareness of unemployment insurance programs.

U.S. Trade Deficit Likely Widened in June as Economic Growth
Boosted Imports
WASHINGTON-The U.S. trade deficit likely widened to near a
record in June as the resurgent American economy drove strong
demand for foreign-made goods.
Economists surveyed by The Wall Street Journal expect a Commerce
Department report Thursday to show that the deficit in goods and
services widened to $74.2 billion in June from $71.2 billion in
May. That would put the trade gap just shy of the record $75
billion in March.

Senate Infrastructure Final Vote Expected as Soon as This
Weekend
WASHINGTON-The Senate moved through a series of amendments to
the roughly $1 trillion infrastructure package on Wednesday, with
lawmakers anticipating a vote on final passage of the bill this
weekend or early next week.
Since negotiators finished the 2,702-page bill last weekend,
lawmakers have considered amendments offered by a mix of
Republicans and Democrats to fine-tune elements of the bill.
Republicans have pushed for an open-ended amendment process, while
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) has called for the
chamber to move quickly. Democrats are seeking to approve a budget
outline for a $3.5 trillion climate and antipoverty package before
the chamber departs for its August recess.

Interest-Rate Increases Could Come as Soon as Early 2023, Fed's
Clarida Says
Significant fiscal stimulus this year is speeding the economy's

bank official in a speech Wednesday.
Fed Vice Chairman Richard Clarida said he expects that, under
his current projections for inflation and employment, "commencing
policy normalization in 2023 would...be entirely consistent with
our new flexible average inflation targeting framework."

Securities Times, a newspaper affiliated with Communist Party
mouthpiece People's Daily, said that, after years of enjoying
government subsidies and tax cuts, the gaming sector should brace
for taxation that aligns with that of other industries.

Iran to Swear In New President as Unease Grows Over Nuclear
Deal
For the first time in years, all branches of power in Iran are
set to fall under the control of hard-liners when a protégé of the
supreme leader is sworn in as president, bolstering their power and
adding to growing unease that the Islamic Republic's relations with
the West could worsen.
President-elect Ebrahim Raisi, 60 years old, studied as a young
man at one of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei's Islamic seminaries. He
also served on a panel that ordered the execution of thousands of
political prisoners. Later, he moved up through the ranks to lead

Contractor Says Fired Supreme Court Justice Behind Killing of
Haitian President
A Miami-based security contractor who hired Colombian
mercenaries accused of killing Haitian President Jovenel Moïse last
month said he was working with a former Haitian Supreme Court judge
to help arrest Mr. Moïse and not assassinate him.
Antonio Intriago, owner of a South Florida-based firm called CTU
Security, said the mercenaries went to the president's private
villa to accompany Haitian police executing an arrest warrant for
the president, according to a statement released Wednesday by three
lawyers representing Mr. Intriago. They said the president was dead
when the Colombians arrived, echoing testimony from some of the
soldiers.

it.

ICE Canada Weekly Outlook: Canola Volatility Expected
The ICE Futures canola market saw some large price moves during
the week ended Aug. 4, hitting their lowest levels in a month as
investors booked profits before recovering to hold relatively
range-bound overall. More choppiness is expected over the next few
weeks, as the market waits to get a better handle on the size of
the 2021/22 crop.
Hot temperatures and a lack of moisture have cut into the crop
prospects across most of the Prairies, with production unlikely to
live up to early expectations.
The 19.9-million-ton production forecast by Agriculture and
Agri-Food Canada is "at least two million tons too high," said
Errol Anderson of Pro Market Communications in Calgary, Alberta,
adding that actual production was likely much smaller.
Statistics Canada's official survey-based estimates won't be
released until the end of August, and until the production is
better known Anderson expected the futures to see some wide price
swings.
"It will stay very volatile right into the fall market," said
Anderson.
