Daily Market Watch for Thursday, July 3, 2008 (By Larry Baer of Market Alert Inc.)
SHORT-TERM TREND (20 days or less) Favors higher note rates and lower investor prices.
LONG-TERM TREND (21 days or more) Favors higher note rates and lower investor prices.
 
Commentary: Employers cut 62,000 workers from their payrolls last month – almost dead-on with most economists’ expectation. The national jobless rate edged higher to 5.5% from May’s 5.4% reading. Average hourly earnings improved 0.3% -- but on a year-over-year basis hourly earnings remain well below levels that would cause even the most conservative knee-knocking analysts to fret about inflationary implications.

A separate report this morning showed that initial claims for unemployment benefits rose by 16,000 during the week ended June 28th. Most market participants tend to discount some of the jobless claims data this time of year because of the impact of automakers furloughing workers as production lines are reconfigured for the new model year.

The Institute of Supply Management also released their Service Sector index today. The service sector represents about 80% of all domestic economic activity, including businesses such as banks, airlines, hotels and restaurants. The ISM’s June Service Sector index shrank to a reading of 48.2 from the May mark of 51.7. Contraction in the service sector is just one more piece of anecdotal evidence that shows while the economy is still on its feet – it is staggering badly.

The economic calendar next week will be dominated by a few second tier economic reports like Tuesday’s May Pending Home Sales figures and the Wholesale Inventory report for May. With so little to “chew-on” -- look for mortgage investors to take their directional cues from trading in the stock markets. Higher stock prices will tend to drag mortgage interest rates higher while lower stock prices will probably support steady to perhaps fractionally lower note rates.
