From the Desk of Joe Rios
There were several economic data releases this past week but none caused any type of volatility. Most asset classes were relatively tame as the bench marks continued to consolidate. Natural Gas was the outperformer for the week gaining 6.1% followed by Soybeans rising 3.0% by week end. Corporate earnings season in the U.S. kicked into high gear with a number of big names including Bank of America and General Electric releasing earnings. According to Reuters, of the 6% of S&P 500 companies that have reported, about 48 percent have beaten estimates. In the week ahead I will continue to focus on the benchmarks and the relationship between the Ten Year Treasury Notes and the Foreign currencies as well as economic data from China.
Take special note of the official launch of our new Stocks and Options trading room Tuesday evening. Join Joe Contes and Ken Eriksen and experience the power of the RiosQuant trading tools in the world of stocks, ETFs and options.
