Morning Commentary:
The markets have been buoyed lately by decreasing oil prices which hit their two-month lows at $45.25 in intraday trading yesterday and winded up closing at $46.80 a barrel. Helping ease prices in the oil markets are the improving conditions in Nigerian oil workers have called off a threatened strike, and comments at the Minerals Management Service that new deep water wells in the Gulf of Mexico are expected to yield higher levels of oil production beginning in 2006 and increasing through 2011. This morning we are looking at oil back over $47, which could be another bearish influence on equities in today's session.
Look for this morning's PPI report, as well as this morning's capital flows data to be the primary influences on the dollar in today's session. In the midst of the past couple days of declining oil prices, the dollar strengthened slightly, up for the second straight session after hitting seventh-month lows against the yen. However, the downward trend in the dollar does not look like it is going to reverse any time soon as the deficits and eroding global confidence continue to weigh on it. In fact, an increasingly vocal world community is asking the U.S. to do something about the situation. Yesterday, EU Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner commented that "it is not good for anyone to have this kind of movement" referring to the deficit's impact on the dollar and fears that an overly strong euro would negatively impact Europe's economic recovery.
