MARKET OVERVIEW
Overseas markets are digesting prior gains as nine of the 15 markets that we
track are currently in positive territory. The cumulative average return on the
collective stands at a positive 0.311 percent, bolstered by the Nikkei's return
to trade with a 2.73 percent advance in its overnight session. The Hong Kong
Hang Seng Index, France CAC 40 and the Frankfurt DAX have all hit fresh 52-week
highs in early trade (HKIND hit a yearly closing high as well). The Consumer
Sentiment Index in France in October came in at minus 29. The reading came in
below both the minus 27 in September and consensus expectation for a minus 26
and snapped a string of five consecutive monthly improvements.
The two weekly reports on the health of the retail sector highlight the economic
calendar today. In the prior week, BTM-UBS Chain store sales declined by 0.9
percent while the Redbook Retail Sales Index climbed by 1.1 percent. The
earnings calendar is sufficient, but I do not expect any market moving reports
out of today's candidates.
