Indexes mixed after bears come in late

U.S. equity indexes ended mixed yesterday after existing home sales unexpectedly dropped in the morning.

A late selloff is the primary reason for the mixed close, as all the indexes were in positive territory until about 3:45 p.m. ET. The SPX had traded as high as 1407.75 before closing at 1402.89, down 0.19 percent on the day.

The Russell 2000 finished the session higher by 0.08 percent to 829.92. The Nasdaq 100 had made a new 2012 high of 2752.46 before pulling back to close at 2736.88, off 0.03 percent on the session.

The commodity markets saw a bit of a rebound as China slowdown fears subsided, with gold and crude oil closing higher.

S&P 500
Resistance is now 1405.75, followed by 1407.75 and then 1410.

Support is now 1400.59, followed by 1397.68 (Tuesday's low) and 1395.

Nasdaq 100
Resistance is now 2740, followed by 2745 and then 2750.

Support is now 2735, followed by 2733.91 (yesterday' low) and 2725.

Russell 2000
Resistance is now 830, followed by 833.75 and then 835.

Support is now 829 and then 827.46 (yesterday's low).

Labor claims, home data lead calendar

Traders will look to unemployment claims and home prices for direction today.

Initial jobless claims start the day at 8:30 a.m. ET. Most analysts are expecting a slight rise in initial claims to 352,000 from the last week's reading of 351,000. Estimates range from 348,000 to 355,000

Continuing claims will be released at the same time. The consensus forecast for that report is 3.363 million, up from last week's 3.343 million. Estimates range from 3.360 million to 3.365 million.

Next on the docket is the FHFA housing index for January, scheduled for 10 a.m. ET. Most analysts expect a reading of 0.2 percent, down from the previous 0.7 percent. Estimates range from 0.2 percent to 0.8 percent.

The Conference Board's leading indicators report is also scheduled for 10 a.m. ET. The U.S. Energy Information Agency will report natural-gas inventories at 10:30 a.m. ET.

The Treasury will hold an auction of 10-year TIPS at 1 p.m. ET. To cap the day off, the Fed will release its current balance sheet and money-supply data at 4:30 p.m. ET.

Volatility index, VIX futures, funds fall

The CBOE Volatility Index fell yesterday, and VIX futures tumbled.

The declines took place even as the S&P 500 gave up some ground. The SPX and its implied volatility index usually move inversely.

The VIX was down 2.89 percent to end the day at 15.13. The S&P 500 slipped into the close to finish down 0.2 percent to 1402.89.

The VIX futures were all lower. The March contracts settled this morning at 14.55, down sharply from yesterday's close. The front-month April futures were down 5.24 percent to 18.10. May futures fell 4 percent to 21.20.

This steep contango continues to hurt the long-volatility products, wihch based on the VIX futures, not the spot VIX. The iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures Note (VXX) was down 5 percent to yet another new low of 18.36, while the ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures Fund (UVXY) was down 10 percent to a new low of 17.80. Both suffer from the premiums in those futures as well as their daily roll, producing a negative roll yield.

The volume in VIX-based options was significant yesterday as more than 1.1 million contracts traded, with 620,000 of them calls. The VXX had 379,000 options change hands, with puts slightly outpacing calls.
