The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) today is up +1.02%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DOWI) (DIA) is up +0.67%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) is up +1.10%.  June E-mini S&P futures (ESM26) are up +1.10%, and June E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQM26) are up +1.15%.

Stock indexes are moving sharply higher today after the Wall Street Journal reported that President Trump had signaled he was willing to end the US military campaign against Iran even if the Strait of Hormuz remains closed.  The report said Mr. Trump believes the US should wind down hostilities while pressuring Iran diplomatically to reopen the Strait.  If that fails, the US will press allies in Europe and the Gulf to take the lead on reopening the waterway.  US and Israeli forces pressed ahead with attacks on Iran today, while Iran hit a Kuwaiti oil tanker off Dubai in a drone attack, and the UAE reported a drone attack.

Falling bond yields are also supportive of stocks, as the 10-year T-note yield dropped to a 1-week low of 4.30% today.  Bond yields are declining amid hopes that an end to the Iran war will lower energy prices, easing inflation concerns.  Stocks also found support today after the US Mar consumer confidence index unexpectedly rose.  Stock indexes fell back from their best levels as crude prices rose more than +1% to a 3-week high.

The US Jan S&P CaseShiller composite-20 home price index rose +1.18% y/y, weaker than expectations of +1.38% y/y and the smallest pace of increase in 2.5 years.

Crude oil prices (CLK26) rose to a 3-week high today and remain supported despite President Trump signaling he is willing to end the war with Iran, as the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed.  The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which about a fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas flows, has choked off oil and gas flows due to Iran’s attacks on shipping in the waterway and forced Gulf producers to cut output because they can’t export from the region.  Iran is also seeking to control ship transit through the Strait of Hormuz, asking vessels to provide lists of crew and cargo, along with voyage details and bills of lading if they want to travel through the waterway.  Goldman Sachs warns that crude prices could exceed the 2008 record high of close to $150 a barrel if flows through the Strait of Hormuz remain depressed through March.

The International Energy Agency said last Monday that more than 40 energy sites across nine countries in the Middle East have been "severely or very severely" damaged, potentially prolonging disruptions to global supply chains once the war in Iran ends.

The S&P 500 Index ($SPX) (SPY) on Monday closed up +1.15%, the Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DOWI) (DIA) closed up +1.38%, and the Nasdaq 100 Index ($IUXX) (QQQ) closed up +1.22%.  June E-mini S&P futures (ESM26) rose +1.14%, and June E-mini Nasdaq futures (NQM26) rose +1.29%.

Stocks settled sharply higher on Monday as crude oil prices plunged more than -10% after President Trump said strikes against Iranian energy infrastructure and power plants would be postponed for five days following the start of talks with Iran to end the war.  Mr. Trump said the US held productive talks on a comprehensive resolution of hostilities in the Middle East and that the discussion would continue throughout the week.

Stocks fell back from their best levels Monday afternoon when a statement was released from a military adviser to Iranian Supreme Leader, Mohsen Rezaee, that said the war will continue until all damages to Iran are compensated, all economic sanctions are lifted, and legal international guarantees are obtained to prevent US interference in Iran.

Global bond yields fell from their highs on Monday and turned lower, a supportive factor for stocks, on news of a possible end to the war in Iran. Bond yields had risen on concerns that soaring energy prices from the Iran war would stoke inflation.  The 10-year T-note yield fell from an 8-month high on Monday at 4.44% and fell -5 bp to 4.33%.  Also, the 10-year German Bund yield fell from a 14.75-year high of 3.08%, and the 10-year UK Gilt yield fell from a 17.75-year high of 5.12%.

Stock index futures initially fell sharply in overnight trading after President Trump gave Iran until Monday evening to reopen the Strait of Hormuz.  President Trump on Saturday issued a 48-hour ultimatum for Iran to "fully open" the Strait of Hormuz or the US will obliterate Iran’s various power stations.  The ultimatum, which expires at 7:44 p.m. Eastern time on Monday, was met with harsh rhetoric from Iran, with one senior Iranian official saying that if such an attack were to occur, the headquarters and assets of financial entities that buy US Treasury bonds are "legitimate targets" for attack. Iran also said that it would mine the “entire Persian Gulf” and block all access routes through the Strait if its power plants were attacked.

Iran carried out fresh strikes across the Persian Gulf over the weekend, with the UAE reporting drone and missile attacks on Monday.  The International Energy Agency said that more than 40 energy sites across nine countries in the Middle East have been "severely or very severely" damaged, potentially prolonging disruptions to global supply chains once the war in Iran ends.

Crude oil prices (CLK26) remain high despite attempts to boost global supplies.  The IEA on March 11 released 400 million barrels from emergency oil stockpiles and said the war against Iran is disrupting 7.5% of global oil supply, and the conflict will cut global oil supply by 8 million bpd this month.  The closure of the Strait of Hormuz, through which about a fifth of the world’s oil and natural gas flows, has choked off oil and gas flows due to Iran’s attacks on shipping in the waterway and forced Gulf producers to cut output because they can’t export from the region.  Iran has attacked about 20 vessels in the Persian Gulf and near Hormuz since the conflict began.  Goldman Sachs warns that crude prices could exceed the 2008 record high of close to $150 a barrel if flows through the Strait of Hormuz remain depressed through March.

The markets are discounting an 8% chance for a +25 bp FOMC rate hike at the April 28-29 policy meeting.

Overseas stock markets settled mixed on Monday.  The Euro Stoxx 50 recovered from a 6-month low and closed up +1.33%.  China's Shanghai Composite fell to a 6-month low and closed down -3.63%.  Japan's Nikkei Stock 225 tumbled to a 2.75-month low and closed down -3.48%.

Interest Rates

June 10-year T-notes (ZNM6) on Monday closed up by +13.5 ticks.  The 10-year T-note yield fell -5.2 bp to 4.328%.  June T-notes recovered from a 9.5-month nearest-futures low on Monday, and the 10-year T-note yield fell from an 8-month high of 4.441%.  T-notes recovered from overnight losses and moved higher today after WTI crude oil prices fell more than -10% when President Trump postponed strikes on Iranian energy infrastructure for five days, pending talks to end the war in Iran.  The 10-year breakeven inflation rate fell to a 1.5-week low of 2.311% on Monday, a supportive factor for T-notes.

T-note yields have risen sharply over the past three weeks on concern that surging energy prices from the Iran war will boost inflation and even force the Fed to tighten monetary policy.

European government bond yields gave up early gains on Monday and moved lower.  The 10-year German bund yield fell from a 14.75-year high of 3.077% and finished down -3.9 bp to 3.005%.  The 10-year UK gilt yield fell from a 17.75-year high of 5.121% and finished down -7.4 bp to 4.02-%.

The Eurozone Mar consumer confidence index fell -4.0 to a nearly 2.5-year low of -16.3, weaker than expectations of -14.2.

ECB Governing Council member Peter Kazimir said, "The ECB can do little about the inflation spike in the next few months, but if we judge that the risk of inflation remaining above our target for a prolonged period is significant, we will act with appropriate forcefulness to bring inflation back down to our target."

Swaps are discounting a 68% chance of a +25 bp ECB rate hike at its next policy meeting on April 30.

Airline and cruise line stocks rallied on Monday as crude oil prices sank by more than 10%, potentially lowering fuel costs and boosting corporate profits.  Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings (NCLH) closed up more than +6%, and Carnival (CCL) and Royal Caribbean Cruises Ltd (RCL) closed up more than +5%.  Also, United Airlines Holdings (UAL) and Alaska Air Group (ALK) closed up more than +4%, and American Airlines Group (AAL) closed up more than +3%.  In addition, Delta Air Lines (DAL) and Southwest Airlines (LUV) closed up more than +2%.

Zusammenfassung:

Am Donnerstag fielen die Aktienindizes aufgrund von Bedenken hinsichtlich steigender Ölpreise und der eskalierenden geopolitischen Spannungen, insbesondere des US-Iran-Konflikts, insgesamt. Der S&P 500, der Dow Jones und der Nasdaq schlossen alle im negativen Bereich, was die allgemeine Marktängste widerspiegelte. Der Dow Jones Industrial Average verzeichnete einen bemerkenswerten Tiefstand von einem 2,75-Monatsrückgang.

Der Haupttreiber der Marktnachlass war der Anstieg der Ölpreise, insbesondere von West Texas Intermediate (WTI) Rohöl, der aufgrund von Störungen auf dem Energiemarkt, die dem Iran zugeschrieben werden, einen 19,5-Monatsrekord erreichte. Dieser Anstieg der Ölpreise befeuerte Inflationsängste und führte zu einem Anstieg der Anleihenrenditen. Trotz einiger positiver Wirtschaftsdaten – darunter ein Rückgang der wöchentlichen Arbeitslosenansprüche und ein Anstieg der Produktivität im vierten Quartal – überlagerten die Ölmarktschwankungen diese Entwicklungen. Broadcoms starkes Ergebnis aufgrund erwarteter KI-Chip-Verkäufe bot etwas Unterstützung.

Der andauernde US-Israel-Krieg im Iran hatte einen erheblichen Einfluss auf die Stimmung. Der Schließung des Persischen Golfes, ein kritischer Engpass für den globalen Ölhandel, verschärfte die Situation und führte zu weiteren Preiserhöhungen und sorgte für Bedenken hinsichtlich von Versorgungsausfällen. Die Füllstände der Tanks an wichtigen Raffinerien und Lagern in Saudi-Arabien und den Vereinigten Arabischen Emiraten neigten sich dem Fassungsvermögen.

Die Wirtschaftsdaten, die am Donnerstag veröffentlicht wurden, boten ein gemischtes Bild. Während die anfänglichen Arbeitslosenansprüche sanken, blieb das Produktivitätswachstum stark. Allerdings deuteten hawkishere Kommentare des Richmond Fed Präsident Tom Barkin darauf hin, dass Inflation weiterhin ein hartnäckiges Problem darstellte und die Erwartungen hinsichtlich bevorstehender Zinssenkungen der US-Notenbank dämpfte.

Der Markt konzentriert sich jetzt auf mehrere wichtige Ereignisse, darunter Unternehmensgewinne, weitere Entwicklungen im US-Iran-Krieg und weitere Wirtschaftsdaten. Die Veröffentlichung am Freitag der Februar-Roharbeitszahlen, der Arbeitslosenquote und der durchschnittlichen Stundenlöhne wird dabei von besonderer Bedeutung sein.

Unternehmensgewinne bleiben ein positiver Faktor, wobei 73 % der S&P 500 Unternehmen Gewinne erzielt haben, die höher waren als erwartet. Insgesamt wird erwartet, dass S&P im vierten Quartal um +8,4 % wächst.

Was die Zinsen betrifft, so ist die Rendite von US-Staatsanleihen mit einer Laufzeit von 10 Jahren auf ein 3-Wochen-Hoch gestiegen, angetrieben von Inflationsängsten und positiven Wirtschaftsdaten. Der Markt gewichtet derzeit eine relativ geringe Wahrscheinlichkeit (4 %) für eine Zinssenkung von 25 Basispunkten durch die US-Notenbank bei ihrer nächsten Sitzung am 17.-18. März.

Auch die ausländischen Märkte präsentierten ein gemischtes Bild mit Rückgängen in Europa (Euro Stoxx 50) und Zuwächsen in Asien (Shanghai Composite, Nikkei). Die Renditen der Staatsanleihen in Deutschland stiegen ebenfalls, was auf Inflationsängste hindeutete.

Ich hope this is helpful!
