The Russell 2000 was the outright winner with a 3.0% gain, followed by the Dow Jones Industrial Average (+1.6%), Nasdaq Composite (+1.6%), and S&P 500 (+1.5%). The market seemed to be operating on the assumption that conditions were favorable for bounce, especially after the S&P 500 successfully retested its 50-day moving average (4242) yesterday. Others believed the Russell 2000 had entered correction territory too quickly and that value/cyclical stocks had gotten oversold on a short-term basis. The rebound gains were distributed across ten of the 11 S&P 500 sectors, including industrials (+2.7%) and financials (+2.4%) with gains over 2.0%. Advancing issues outpaced declining issues by a 5:1 margin at the NYSE. The consumer staples sector (-0.1%) bucked the positive trend. IBM ($IBM 139.97, +2.05, +1.5%) reported better-than-expected earnings results, which may have instilled hope that other technology companies will follow in IBM's footsteps throughout the rest of the earnings season. Apple ($AAPL 146.16, +3.70, +2.6%) drew additional support from a price-target increase to $166 from $155 at UBS. Some companies like HCA Healthcare ($HCA 248.90, +31.27, +14.4%) and Dover ($DOV 162.14, +10.17, +6.7%) also felt confident enough to issue upbeat guidance, although it's worth mentioning that PPG Industries ($PPG 158.49, -7.26, -4.4%) warned it will likely continue to see supply disruptions in Q3. Travelers ($TRV 151.09, -0.17, -0.1%) closed lower despite beating EPS estimates. The warning from PPG was presumably because of the coronavirus, but the extent of today's gains and some curve-steepening activity in the Treasury market seemed to suggest that some of the growth/coronavirus concerns have been overstated. The 10-yr yield increased three basis points to 1.21% after dipping below 1.14% immediately following mixed housing starts and building permits data for June. Housing starts were better than expected while permits, which are a leading indicator, declined 5.1% m/m to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.598 million (Briefing.com consensus 1.700 million). The 2-yr yield decreased two basis points to 0.19% while the 30-yr yield rose five basis points to 1.87%. The U.S. Dollar Index increased 0.1% to 92.95. WTI crude futures rose 1.4%, or $0.90, to $67.32/BBL. The CBOE Volatility Index (19.73, -2.77, -12.3%) slipped below 20.00. Reviewing Tuesday's economic data: Total housing starts rose 6.3% month-over-month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.643 million (Briefing.com consensus 1.600 million). Building permits declined 5.1% month-over-month to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.598 million (Briefing.com consensus 1.700 million).The key takeaway from the report is that permits -- a leading indicator -- declined across all regions for single-family units, suggesting there will be a slowdown in building activity that could be related to a variety of factors, including higher costs, a lack of available labor, and/or high selling prices curtailing buyer demand. Looking ahead, investors will receive the weekly MBA Mortgage Applications Index on Wednesday.
