With Less Than A Day Left, Mursi Demands Withdrawal Of Ultimatum Mubarak Says Mursi Should Step Down When news hit 30 minutes before the market close that the Egyptian president would have a joint statement with the local military, some saw this was a good sign that there may finally be a compromise forming. Couldn't be further from the truth. As Reuters reports, Egyptian President Mohamed Mursi called on the armed forces on Tuesday to withdraw an ultimatum for him to share power with his political opponents and said he would not be dictated to. " President Mohamed Mursi asserts his grasp on constitutional legitimacy and rejects any attempt to deviate from it, and calls on the armed forces to withdraw their warning and refuses to be dictated to internally or externally," a tweet on the official Twitter feed of the Egyptian presidency said. A military source said the armed forces had seen Mursi's statement and would issue a response to it. And just to complete the epic farce, Al Arabiya reported that ousted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak said that the country’s current Islamist president, Mohammed Mursi, should step down for the sake of the Egyptian people. One couldn't make this up, nor could one make up the losses those short Egypt risk protection have suffered in the past month as Egypt CDS have widened by 50%. In the meantime, US puppet Mursi has precisely 23 hours and 53 minutes. |

Crude oil rallied above $100 a barrel for the first time since September and gasoline futures (HIA) rose on concern political turmoil in Egypt will threaten supplies from the region. Asian stocks snapped a five-day advance as the yen held at the weakest level in more than a month.
West Texas Intermediate Crude jumped a third day, surging 1 percent to $100.64 a barrel by 9:58 a.m. in Tokyo, set to close at a 14-month high. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index of regional equities fell 0.4 percent, ending the longest run of gains since the end of April, as shares in Australia sank and Japanese stocks erased gains. The yen weakened a fifth day after breaching the 100 per dollar mark for the first time in a month. the South Korean won lost 0.3 percent. Standard & Poor’s 500 Index (SPX) futures were little changed after the measure closed 0.1 percent lower in New York. Silver rose while zinc, aluminum and tin declined. Australian government bonds fell. Egypt’s military has given President Mohamed Mursi 48 hours to find a solution to the country’s political impasse, following mounting nationwide protests against his rule. Speculation U.S. stockpiles shrank last week also supported crude gains. Investors are looking to data on U.S. jobless claims and payrolls due today and July 5 to assess the health of the world’s largest economy and prospects of the Federal Reserve tapering asset purchases that have fueled equity gains. “Geopolitical risk in Egypt is stoking some demand from those who want to increase stockpiles just in case of a disruption in oil supplies,” Leo Baek, a trader at KEB Futures Co. in Seoul, said by phone. “Improving U.S. data is also adding fuel to demand for energy.” Gasoline Futures Egypt’s EGX 30 Index jumped 4.9 percent yesterday, the steepest advance since July 2012, after the military’s ultimatum and as thousands of people massed to demand Mursi’s departure. Adding to the turmoil were vows by Mursi’s Islamist supporters to stand firm against what they see as the threat of a military coup. Futures on gasoline due next month added 0.5 percent to $279.78, climbing a third day. U.S. crude inventories declined by 9.4 million barrels last week, data from the American Petroleum Institute showed. A government report today is projected to show they decreased by 2.25 million, according to a Bloomberg News survey of analysts. The yen lost 0.1 percent to 100.71 per dollar, after slipping 1 percent yesterday to the weakest close since May 30. The currency was little changed at 130.59 per euro, after yesterday’s 0.3 percent decline. The Dollar Index, which measures the greenback against six major peers, rose 0.1 percent. U.S. Payrolls Factory orders in the U.S. increased 2.1 percent in May, more than double the pace in April, a report yesterday showed. Data today from the ADP Research Institute may indicate American companies added 160,000 jobs in June, before the Labor Department’s monthly payrolls report at the end of the week that is forecast to show an increase of 165,000 positions. Global equities have lost about $4 trillion in value since May 22, when Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke signaled policy makers could scale back asset buying should the U.S. economy improve in line with forecasts. William Dudley, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, reiterated in a speech in Connecticut yesterday that while U.S. economic growth will probably quicken in 2014, the Fed may prolong bond purchases should the economy turn weaker than their forecasts. “Markets are pretty mixed with all eyes on the non-farm payrolls data due at the end of the week and the impact that could have on the tapering talk,” Chris Green, director of economics and strategy at First NZ Capital Ltd., said by phone from Auckland. The weaker yen is “a stimulatory factor for that economy” in Japan, and signs of a slowdown in China “raise the specter for weakness in Australia in particular,” he said. Chinese Data China’s non-manufacturing purchasing managers’ index is scheduled to be released today, after two gauges of factory output issued this week showed declines for June. Futures on the Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong added 0.2 percent today, while contracts on the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index of mainland Chinese stocks traded in the city gained 0.1 percent. Australia’s S&P/ASX 200 Index (AS51) tumbled 1.4 percent, led by raw materials and consumer companies, as New Zealand’s NZX 50 Index slipped 0.1 percent. Korea’s Kospi (KOSPI) gauge was little changed. The Topix Index in Japan fell 0.2 percent after earlier gaining as much as 0.3 percent. U.S. stock exchanges close at 1 p.m. New York time today and bond markets will shut at 2 p.m. American financial markets will be closed July 4 for the Independence Day holiday. Won Retreats The won sank to 1,137.52 per dollar, weakening for a second day. The Korean currency’s decline is “about the strong dollar,” Kim Dong Young, a Seoul-based currency dealer at Industrial Bank of Korea, said by phone. “The big trend is irreversible at the moment with all eyes on the Fed’s payrolls report to get a hint of when and how the U.S. will trim stimulus.” Australia’s dollar was little changed at 91.44 U.S. cents after sinking 1 percent yesterday to the weakest close this week. The so-called Aussie posted the worst performance against the greenback among 16 major currencies tracked by Bloomberg last quarter, slumping 12 percent, the most since the third quarter of 2008. Yields on 10-year Australian government bonds rose three basis points, or 0.03 percentage point, to 3.77 percent. Kiwi, Ringgit The nation’s central bank kept its overnight cash-rate target at 2.75 percent yesterday as predicted by 25 of 28 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News. The Aussie “remains at a high level” and may “depreciate further over time, which would help to foster a rebalancing of growth,” Governor Glenn Stevens said in a statement. Stevens addresses the Economic Society in Brisbane today and Australian retail sales and trade data for May is due to be released. New Zealand’s dollar was steady at 77.52 U.S. cents, after retreating 0.9 percent yesterday. Malaysia’s ringgit weakened 0.4 percent to 3.18.02 per dollar, sliding for a third day and poised for the weakest close since June 26.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks edged lower on Tuesday, erasing earlier gains as the S&P 500 met resistance around its 50-day moving average, a level the index has not been able to close above for the past two weeks. Among the S&P 500's 10 sectors, the energy sector index (.SPNY) rose 0.2 percent after crude oil prices hit a nine-month high as turmoil in the Middle East unsettled investors. (O/R) The S&P's industrial sector index (.SPLRCI) fell 1.1 percent and ranked as the biggest decliner. The major U.S. stock indexes traded higher until early afternoon, boosted by positive car sales and factory orders. The S&P 500 rose as high as 1,624.26 early in the session. "We have been seeing this pattern where the market starts off with strength in the morning session, but drifts a little lower with some selling in the afternoon session," said Ryan Detrick, an analyst at Schaeffer's Investment Research, in Cincinnati. He added that with no major news and U.S. markets closing early on Wednesday and all of Thursday for Independence Day, traders were adjusting their positions before the all-important non-farm payrolls report on Friday. Economists have forecast an increase of 165,000 jobs. "We saw the market moving to the downside right around that 50-day moving average. It's a bit technical here, but on a day like today, it's an area that people are looking at closely and so far, it's been serving as a bit of resistance." The 50-day moving average for the S&P 500 was 1,623.94. The benchmark index has not been able to close above its 50-day moving average since closing below that closely watched technical level on June 20. The Dow Jones industrial average (^DJI) fell 42.55 points, or 0.28 percent, to end at 14,932.41. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index (^GSPC) dipped just 0.88 of a point, or 0.05 percent, to finish at 1,614.08. The Nasdaq Composite Index (^IXIC) slipped 1.09 points, or 0.03 percent, to close at 3,433.40. The CBOE Volatility Index (.VIX), Wall Street's favorite barometer of investor anxiety, rose 0.4 percent to 16.44. Volatility has remained elevated from two weeks ago after the Fed said it expected to reduce its $85 billion a month of bond buying, which has helped drive the U.S. stock market's rally this year. Since those comments, several Fed officials have said the central bank would not prematurely end its monetary stimulus program. Those reassuring remarks helped stabilize the market. In Tuesday's session, shares of automaker Ford Motor Co (NYS:F) hit a 52-week high of $16.21 after the company and rival General Motors (GM) reported strong sales last month. Ford said the overall U.S. auto industry will report its best monthly sales rate since December 2007. Ford's stock shot up 2.8 percent to close at $16.18 while GM's shares rose 0.3 percent to end at $34.10. The S&P 500 is 3.3 percent below its May 21 record closing high of 1,669.16. Small caps have closed within a hair's breadth of all-time highs reached in May. The S&P Small-Cap 600 (.SML) is about 0.8 percent below its all-time closing high, and the Russell 2000 (.TOY) is 1.1 percent below its best close. The recent outperformance by stocks with smaller market capitalizations and higher volatility point to a belief that the recent rise in interest rates is constructive, despite the S&P 500 edging lower, according to a Monday note from Goldman Sachs strategists. "The negative performance at the index level has been driven more by positioning and policy uncertainty than a deteriorating view on economic growth," they wrote. William Dudley, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, on Tuesday repeated comments made last week, saying the central bank is likely to support the economic recovery for some time. Shares of alcoholic beverage company Constellation Brands Inc (STZ) fell 3.6 percent to $51.25 after its first-quarter earnings and revenue missed expectations. Sources said Pfizer Inc (PFE) and Novartis AG (NOVN.VX) may make preliminary bids for Onyx Pharmaceuticals Inc (ONXX.O). On Sunday, Onyx turned down a roughly $10 billion offer from Amgen Inc (AMGN). Onyx shares rose 3.2 percent to close at $135.58 after hitting a 52-week high of $135.69. The stock gained more than 50 percent in Monday's session. About 6.1 billion shares exchanged hands on the New York Stock Exchange, the Nasdaq and NYSE MKT, slightly below the daily average so far this year of about 6.4 billion. Decliners outnumbered advancers on the New York Stock Exchange by a ratio of 3 to 2. On the Nasdaq, nearly 13 stocks fell for every 12 that rose.
