Wall Street Lower on Health Care Sell-offU.S. stocks slid for a third straight day to close sharply lower by Tuesday afternoon. Some analysts attribute the selling pressure to concerns over a Democratic win in the upcoming presidential election, though both candidates mentioned lowering health care costs during Sunday's debate. Weighted by sell-offs in health care and financials, the S&P 500 fell 26 points lower to 2,136.73, breaking through the 100-day moving average of 2138.53. "I would say it is a three-pronged sell-off: strong dollar, higher rates, and a Dem sweep," John Spallanzani, chief macro strategist at GFI Group, told CNBC. "Biotechs and heath care are down the most on fears of a Democratic sweep." Nasdaq also took a tumble, closing down 1.5% while the iShares Nasdaq Biotechnology ETF (IBB) dropped about 3.8%. The IBB was led lower by Illumina, Inc. (ILMN), which tanked nearly 25% after the company announced estimated third quarter revenue of approximately $607 million, a 10% increase compared to $550 million in the third quarter of 2015 and lower than the third quarter revenue guidance of $625 million to $630 million. The Dow Jones Industrial average fell 200, led lower by UnitedHealth (NYSE: UNH), Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS) and IBM (NYSE: IBM). Robert Pavlik, chief market strategist at Boston Private Wealth, called the market "very short-term focused" as investors volley their options. "This is a very crazy environment because people are just so unsure of what they want to do … You've got a rise in Treasury yields; you've got oil prices falling," he told CNBC. "You put that together with the dollar rising and Alcoa falling after earnings, and you get a sell-off." The aluminum producer (NYSE: AA) reported weaker-than-expected quarterly results, posting EPS of $0.32 and revenues of $5.21 billion. Analysts polled by Reuters expected Alcoa to report EPS of $0.35 on sales of $5.31 billion. Alcoa shares fell more than 11% to close at $27.91. Shares trade in a 52-week range of $18.42-$34.50. Meanwhile, the U.S. dollar rose 0.74% to its highest level since July 27 on increasing bets that the Federal Reserve will raise rates in December. Treasury yields also rose, with the two-year note yield near 0.86% and the benchmark 10-year note yield around 1.76%. The Fed is scheduled to release the minutes from its September meeting on Wednesday. "There have been a few developments that have been pretty risk averse that seem to be bubbling up," Gene Tannuzzo, portfolio manager at Columbia Threadneedle Investments, told CNBC. "There's a concern that central banks, not just the Fed, may be done easing. You put these things together and you get investors taking a step back, given the high valuations." Though the Fed kept interest rates unchanged at its September meeting, it hinted at a hike before year-end. Bruce Bittles, chief investment strategist at Baird, earlier this week in a note said the odds of a December rate hike are 66%. The strong dollar weighed U.S. crude futures, which fell 1.09% to $50.79 per barrel, pulling back from one-year highs hit during Monday's session on concerns that a production cut by OPEC may not be enough to counter supply. "The [stock] market is looking at oil prices because Putin came out and talked about a supply cut and they want to see if that will actually happen," Quincy Krosby, market strategist at Prudential Financial, told CNBC. OPEC, Key Producers to Discuss Six-month Oil DealOPEC today will meet with non-member oil producers - including Russia, Azerbaijan and possibly Mexico - to hammer out details of a global agreement to cap production for at least six months. Oil prices that have more than halved since mid-2014 amid increasing global supply. "I can say that many countries from outside OPEC are willing to join ... we are not talking about support, we are talking about contribution," Saudi Energy Minister Khalid al-Falih told Reuters on Tuesday in Istanbul. The meeting will take place at 1100 GMT on Wednesday on the sidelines of the World Energy Congress, according to OPEC minister, and any deal will initially be applied over a six-month period followed by review. "We are confident that the other non-OPEC producers will join this (agreement) because it is in the benefit of all producers ... and also consumers," OPEC Secretary General Mohammed Barkindo said. Eulogio Del Pino, the petroleum minister for Venezuela, said he favors a deal to extend for 12 months to include peak output periods of different oil producers. Last month in Algiers, OPEC agreed modest oil output cuts with an end-goal to cut production to a range of 32.50-33.0 million barrels per day (bpd) from OPEC's current output of a record 33.6 million bpd. The International Energy Agency (IEA) says global oil supply could more quickly fall in line with demand if OPEC and Russia agree to sharply cut production, though it is unclear how rapidly this might happen. "Net, we find that an agreement to cut production, while increasingly likely, remains premature given the high supply uncertainty in 2017," Goldman Sachs said in a note, adding that such a deal would be "self-defeating if it were to target sustainably higher oil prices." Oil has rallied than 13 percent in less than two weeks since OPEC proposed its first production curbs in eight years. Still, prices remain about half of mid-2014 highs above $100 a barrel. Challenges of the deal stem from a 3 billion barrel global inventory and efforts by OPEC members Libya and Nigeria to increase production reduced by conflict. Iran, OPEC's third largest member, had said it would not cut its supplies before it reached 4 million barrels per day, a level it had seen before international sanctions were imposed in 2012 and lifted in January this year. Speaking at an energy conference in Istanbul, Russian Energy Minister Alexander Novak said that the world's top producer would maintain its current oil output unchanged under a deal. Russia pumped 11.1 million barrels per day in September. Earlier this week, President Vladimir Putin said Moscow was ready to join the proposed cap on oil output by OPEC members, though Igor Sechin, Russia's most influential oil executive and the head of Kremlin energy champion Rosneft (ROSN.MM), said his company would not curb oil production. Falih will not attend Wednesday's meeting, but is scheduled to meet his Russian counterpart for talks later this month in Riyadh, according to a statement by the Saudi energy ministry. "The ministers emphasized that their two countries are committed to working together and with other producers, OPEC and non-OPEC, to help improve oil market fundamentals, which will benefit producers, consumers, the energy industry and the global economy," the statement said. Dollar Hits 7-Month Peak on Fed Reserve Rate Hike BetsThe U.S. dollar surged to a seven-month high against a major currency basket on Tuesday on increasing bets that the Federal Reserve would raise interest rates in December. Over the past week, the British pound has lost more than 4 percent of its value against the dollar. "Expectations for a December (U.S.) rate hike are running high," James Chen, head of research at Forex.com in Bedminster, New Jersey, told Reuters. "A series of U.S. economic data releases at the end of this week, including retail sales, the producer price index and consumer sentiment, could help shape expectations and the dollar movement going forward." In late trading the dollar index .DXY, which measures the greenback against six major currencies, rose 0.8% to 97.650 after hitting its highest since March. The euro fell to a more than two-month low against the dollar, and was last down 0.8% at $1.1054. Against the yen, the dollar slipped 0.3% to 103.38, but has gained 2% so far this month. The British pound, which has weakened for four straight sessions, slumped 1.8% to $1.2128. Treasury Yields Climb to Four-Month HighsTuesday saw broad selling across all asset classes, including equities and commodities, and the result was a dip in U.S. Treasury prices that pushed yields to four-month highs. Many analysts suggested that the selloff could be attributed to a common risk-parity approach that typically divides risk across an investment portfolio. A common ratio used as part of this approach is 60 percent stock and 40 percent bond. Among the biggest drops on Tuesday, the Dow Jones Industrial average lost more than 200 points, marking its largest drop in a month. Similarly, crude oil prices fell by more than one percent, closing at just over $50 a barrel. Guy LeBas, chief fixed income strategist at Janney Montgomery Scott, summed up the events in an interview with MarketWatch. "There is approximately $500 billion tied to risk-parity strategies and when all of those funds start reducing risk, it results in a selloff across assets classes. Risk-parity funds also had a good [third] quarter," he stated. Bonds also recorded a selloff, as the yield on the 10-year note rose by 2.7 basis points to 1.760 percent on Tuesday, marking its highest level since early June. According to LeBas, this can be partially attributed to the bond market pricing "a 70 percent probability of a [Federal Reserve] rate hike" occurring this year into its figures. Overall, yields climbed to a near-term peak back in June and have been on the decline in recent weeks resulting from a cautious stance from the Fed and massive monetary stimulus from the European Central Bank. Yields bottomed out following the Brexit vote on June 23. Following the vote, however, concerns about the future of central banks' quantitative-easing programs have played a key role in stalling buying and driving yields skyward. Bond prices, of course, move in the opposite direction of yields. Just last week, yields spiked after reports surfaced claiming that the European Central Bank had discussed tapering its stimulus program. Officials later denied those reports. In the meantime, central banks in Europe and Asia have been focused on acquiring assets such as bonds and stocks in an effort to minimize borrowing costs and drive increased asset prices. Still, a consensus that those efforts may be approaching an end is having an effect, pushing prices ever lower. "If central banks step back from the market in terms of these asset purchases, and maintain these lower rates, then we'll certainly see a move higher in [market] rates," Larry Milstein, managing director of government and agency trading at R.W. Pressprich & Co., told MarketWatch. It's worth noting that Tuesday's trading figures were bolstered in part by the closure of the bond market on Monday in observance of Columbus Day. Analysts suggest that Tuesday's results were likely due to traders playing catch-up in the spot market after Treasury futures dropped sharply on Monday. Comcast Nailed with Historic FCC FineComcast, accused by the FCC of charging its customers for services and equipment they didn't request, has been ordered to pay a $2.3 million civil penalty by the FCC, the largest fine the commission has ever levied against a cable operator. Comcast has also agreed to submit a compliance plan, which will be monitored by regulators for the next five years in an effort to ensure that the cable giant cleans up its act. "It is basic that a cable bill should include charges only for services and equipment ordered by the customer -- nothing more and nothing less," Travis LeBlanc, chief of the FCC's Enforcement Bureau, said in a statement. The FCC reportedly received more than 1,000 complaints from customers who claimed that Comcast billed them for extras, such as premium channels, cable boxes or DVRs, that they never ordered or approved. In many of these cases, the FCC states that the customers expressly told Comcast of the mistake, but were charged anyway. Related complaints involved the time and energy required to remove the unauthorized charges. The FCC investigation that resulted in Tuesday's historic fine was originally launched nearly two years ago. With today's announcement, the probe is officially concluded. For the next five years, Comcast will be required to adhere to a number of special rules as part of its compliance plan. These include sending notifications to customers whenever a new charge or service is added to their bill and giving customers the means to easily "block the addition of new services or equipment to their accounts," according to an FCC press release. In addition to the fine, Comcast will be required to compensate or address any existing complaints from customers with disputed charges. Likewise, any account with disputed charges cannot be referred to collections or suspended based on those charges. Comcast agreed to pay the fine, but didn't admit any guilt. In a statement issued Tuesday, the company attributed the complaints to poor customer service and human error, adding that the issue was not a "problematic policy or intentional wrongdoing." The cable giant went on to say that the issues were due to "isolated errors or customer confusion." Comcast's statement concluded by adding, "We agree those issues should be fixed and are pleased to put this behind us and proceed with these customer service-enhancing changes." |
