Nasdaq 100 hits new high for the year

U.S. equity indexes ended yesterday mixed, with the Russell 2000 seeing the worst of the losses.

The RUT dropped 0.94 percent to close at 823.40, just above support at 820, as it gave up most of the previous session's gains. The small-cap index had traded as high as 831.61, slightly under its 2012 highs, before falling to session lows as late-session profit-taking took over.

The S&P 500 fell 0.13 percent to settle at 1394.28.

The Nasdaq 100 outperformed its peers as Apple surged to another all-time high of $594.72 before closing at $589.58. The NDX rose 0.41 percent to close at a new 2012 high of 2708.41, raising its support and resistance levels.

S&P 500
Support is now 1389.53 followed by a significant level at 1385-1380.

Resistance is now 1399.42 (yesterday's high), then 1400 and 1405.

Nasdaq 100
Support is now 2700, then 2690.

Resistance is now 2710, then 2717.86.

Russell 2000

Jobless claims, producer prices on tap

Today's economic calendar is full and includes several potential market-moving numbers, especially unemployment claims.

The Jobless Claims report will be released at 8:30 a.m. ET. The consensus forecast calls for a reading of 355,000, with estimates ranging from 350,000 to 372,000. The previous tally was 362,000.

The Producer Price Index also comes out at 8:30 a.m. ET. The average estimate is a monthly gain of 0.5 percent, from a range of 0.3 percent to 0.7 percent. The last reading was 0.1 percent.

The Empire State Manufacturing Survey is the third report to come out at 8:30 a.m. ET, followed by the Treasury's data on international capital at 9 a.m. ET. Empire State General Business Conditions is expected at 17.50, with a range of 12.00 to 24.70. The previous number was 19.53.

Philadelphia Federal Survey, scheduled for 10 a.m. ET, is another potential market-moving release. Philadelphia General Business Conditions is expected at 11.2, with a range of 6.7 to 16.0. The last reading was 10.2.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration's natural-gas report is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. ET, followed by a series of Treasury auctions at 11 a.m. ET.
The last report of the day is the Fed balance sheet and money supply data at 4:30 p.m. ET.

VIX futures rising as volatility rebounds

The VIX futures outpaced the CBOE Volatility Index itself to the upside yesterday.

The VIX fell into the close but did finish the day up 3.45 percent to 15.31 as the S&P 500 finished the day down slightly at 1394.28. The two indexes usually move inversely.

This is a big move in the VIX, though it is not surprising given the volatility smackdown of the previous two days.

But before anyone jumps to the conclusion that this is just another statistical aberration like others we have seen recently, the VIX futures were up even more. The March futures, which settle next week, were up 5 percent to close at 17.85. April futures were up 5.24 percent to 22.1, further steepening the already-huge contango.

Volume in VIX-based exchange-traded funds and notes was high, but not more than levels of the last couple of days. And the VIX futures volume has been strong and steady, with more than 92,000 contracts traded yesterday and open interest of 308,000.

AIXG, VECO 11:52 AM Deutsche's upgrade of Aixtron (AIXG +14.6%) and Veeco Instruments (VECO +10.9%) appears to be giving a lift to other LED industry names. CREE +5%. RBCN +4.1%. LEDS +9.5%. Also helping is a positive UBS note, in which the firm says Cree is likely to benefit from a new federal mandate requiring agencies to spend a minimum of $2B over the next 2 years to make their facilities more energy-efficient.

Just traded SPY calls for a quick 40% gain. My SPY 140-139 bull put spread that I opened yesterday is also up nicely. If we close tomorrow above 140 it will be a 50% gain.

If you watch Bloom asia on line all night, you will see that most of their "trader" guest are saying the same thing.

They are buying the U.S. market over any other

Right about here should be the intraday top technically, but if it isn't, bears (including me) are going to get pummeled by a running of the bulls this afternoon!

[huh?]

Turn, turn, turn
