Very interesting week ahead, not only because the Fed meeting might provide some inside regarding its rate policy and the quantitative
easing policy (Wednesday), but because the June heavy option expiry is now behind us, with a lot names closing on fighting strategic
strikes levels, meaning some players might have to deal with position they did not choose, but more mid term fund managers will be even
more underweight equity as they lost their protection on both the downside and the upside. Last week started with some fear that inflation
would spoil a still fragile economic recovery, and ended on another confirmation thanks to the bunch of data that the economic recovery in
the US is well on track, and inflation fears are not justified at this stage thanks (or because) of a deflation current which tempered the
commodity prices rise.
As such, fund managers are gradually getting embarrassed with their long cash position, and should soon need to go shopping in
equity or else through option purchases. September maturity positions are small compared to June ones, reflecting a short term view and
mostly the need to cover (or invest) in case of a brutal upside move, which might soon happen in July once the earnings releases will
confirm the improving macro data following the top-bottom logic.
Beside the Fed meeting, additional macro data should confirm the improving economic background. The existing home sales
tomorrow should add to the idea that the housing sector has been bottoming, same for the new home sales which will be the
Wednesday’s focus alongside the durable orders just ahead of the FOMC issue. Personal consumption on Thursday will be glanced as
well as the jobless claims, as well as the consumer spending, the PCE and the Michigan index on Friday.
The economic calendar doesn't feature an abundance of companies, but there are some widely-held names set to report their latest
quarterly results, including Monsanto (MON), Nike (NKE), Oracle (ORCL) and Walgreen (WAG).
Indeed, this week kicks off with Tuesday’s existing home sales data. The surge in the pending home sales index in April suggests
that existing home sales could move out of the 4.50m to 4.80m range they have occupied over the past six months. At face value, it points
to a jump from 4.68m in April to 5.10m in May. This would return the number of existing home sales back to the level seen before the
collapse of Lehman Brothers last September. The pending home sales index has been a less reliable lead indicator of existing sales in
recent months. This would provide yet more evidence that housing activity has reached a floor. Despite the modest fall in June, the NAHB
index is still consistent with a fairly strong rebound in new home sales (figures out on Wednesday). Indeed, it is pointing to a jump from
352,000 in April to around 480,000. That seems a bit excessive, expect a more modest increase to around 380,000 in May. But these
housing data should show the housing sector has been bottoming, while the banking sector is gradually getting better with some US
banks soon giving the government money back (most of US banks release earnings between July 13th and 17th). Housing and banking
were the initial trouble makers from the financial and then economic crisis, in getting better we have more chance in succeeding the
recovery which is taking place, which by the way the Fed should keep on monitoring, such as they will say on Wednesday on providing
more inside.
The GAIM conference confirmed the very bearish consensus still which should send us higher as time is passing by and
conditions appear better through July earnings. For the look ahead, a survey of attendees by conference organizers revealed that
65% of those polled expect the crisis to "rumble on," with just 17% saying it was over and that same amount expecting the crisis to
diminish significantly. "The second half of the year has built in very high expectations and if they're not met, we're going to see
nervousness that is going to move very rapidly" said a fund managers. "The other catalyst that markets will be looking for is signs that
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke may not be nominated for a second term. President Barack Obama has praised Bernanke for
his efforts in the financial crisis but has been mum on whether he'll reappoint the Fed chief. Investors can protect themselves the next
time around by understanding that they need a plan for when an event happens -- and need to stick to it". Their four funds did well
because "we know what we do if the stock market falls 5%. Our basic investment advice to anyone is if you don't know what you'll do if
the stock market falls 10%, you shouldn't be in the stock market". Everything is prepared to welcome a downside move, and this often
makes it simply not happen, especially as now the upside run is making performances hard to explain to investors, and fund managers
are not looking at the market, but rather at what could make the market fall down and fit their bear strategy choices.
Soon ending Q2, not much protections both ways should make the market boost to the upside, with some possible erratic flows
today for the first two hours due to positions coming from option players who might not hedge on Friday's close.
