Today's Market Roundup: US Stocks close smartly higher on upbeat economic data

Red’s Bull Alert:All three indexes opened with gains and charges steadily North throughout most of the session, finishing near their session highs on the Day

 Re-cap of the US Stock Market Action for the session ending 1 February 2010

Wall Street ended sharply higher on the 1st day of a new trading month Monday after data showed US personal income rose more than expected in December and manufacturing sector improved significantly in January. Strength among natural resource plays helped the stock market's gain on low-volume that concluded at session highs with all 10 major sectors in positive ground.

All three indexes opened with gains and charges steadily North throughout most of the session, finishing near their session highs on the Day

The DJIA rose 118.20 pts, or 1.17%, to close at 10,185.53, the S&P 500 gained 15.31 pts, or 1.43% to close at 1, 089.18, and the NAS tallied up a + 23.85pts, or 1.11% to end the session at 2,171.20.

The market regained its upward momentum after the Commerce Department said personal income advanced 0.4% in December, the 6th increase in a running, which is slightly higher than the 0.3% median economist forecast.

Also helping to boost market sentiment, the Institute of Supply Management's manufacturing index rose to 58.4 in January, the highest level in more than five years. The reading easily topped economists' expectation and showed a significant improvement from December's downwardly revised level of 54.9, reassuring the market that the manufacture sector was well on the way to the recovery.

US President Barack Obama proposed a US$3.83T budget on Monday, sending the federal deficit to a record high of US$1.56T. The plan includes US$100B in stimulus spending aimed at job growth and is geared at lowering the deficit in the longer term with a 3 year spending freeze.

Other economic data on Monday weren't as strong as the ISM manufacturing data, continuing the recent hot-and-cold style in economic data that have kept the stock market in irons.

1

Consumer spending, which accounts for about 70% of total economic activity, increased by 0.2% in December, less than analysts' forecasts of 0.3% but still the third increase in a row.

Construction spending, meanwhile, slumped 1.2% in December, much worse than economists had projected.

On The Company Front: Exxon Mobil, the world's largest publicly traded Oil company, rose 2.7% after posting quarterly results better than analysts had estimated on average, helping push some other Oil company higher too. All 39 components in the S&P 500 energy sector finished the session in higher ground to give the sector a 3.0% gain

Freeport McMoRan (FCX 71.59, +4.90) put together its best single-session percentage advance in 6 months.

Diversified Metals and Miners settled the session with a 7.3% gain, while Gold stocks gained 6.3%, and steel stocks were sent 5.3% higher.

In Asia: Asian stocks climbed from a two-month low after a report showed US manufacturing expanded more than estimated and as commodity prices advanced. The Australian dollar dropped after the central bank unexpectedly left interest rates unchanged.

Advancing Sectors: Materials (+3.7%), Energy (+3.0%), Financials (+1.6%), Tech (+1.5%), Industrials (+1.5%), Consumer Discretionary (+1.1%), Consumer Staples (+0.8%), Utilities (+0.7%), Health Care (+0.5%), Telecom (+0.4%)

Declining Sectors: (None)

Volume and Breadth:  trade was light on the NYSE, with about 1.04B.shrs changing hands, below last year's estimated daily average of 2.18B/shrs, and on the NAS, about 2.22 B/shrs traded, above last year's daily average of 1.63B/shrs. Advancers outnumbered decliners on the NYSE by 4 to 1, and on the NAS, about 17 stocks rose for each 10 that fell.

Competitive Landscape

Demand is driven largely by demographic shifts, particularly trends in population and age, working women, race and ethnicity, household size, and levels of disposable income. The profitability of individual companies depends on a good product mix and efficient operations. Large distributors are advantaged by bulk purchasing and economies of scale in distribution. Smaller companies can compete effectively by specializing in organic, natural, or kosher products or focusing on a geographical area. Average annual revenue per worker for a typical company is US$675,000.

This is Freeport-McMoRan (FCX): Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold, Inc. engages in the exploration, mining, and production of mineral properties primarily in Indonesia, North America, South America, and Africa. It focuses on the copper, gold, molybdenum, and silver prospects. The company holds interests in the Grasberg open pit and Deep Ore Zone projects in Indonesia. It also owns interests in the Grasberg, Kucing Liar, Mill Level Zone/Deep Mill Level Zone, and Big Gossan projects in Indonesia. In addition, the company holds interests in the Morenci project in Greenlee County, Arizona; the Safford project in Graham County, Arizona; the Bagdad project in Yavapai County in west-central, Arizona; the Sierrita project in Pima County, Arizona; the Miami project in Gila County, Arizona; the Chino and Tyrone project in southwestern New Mexico in Grant County; the Henderson project located approximately 42 miles west of Denver, Colorado; and the Climax molybdenum mine in Colorado, which are located in North America.

The Competitive Landscape

Demand is driven by industrial demand and economic growth, both domestic and foreign. Individual company profitability depends on volume and operating efficiency. Large companies can afford to discover and develop new deposits and increase reserves. Small companies typically own just one mine, limit exploration to that one property, and operate it as efficiently as possible. Metal ore mining is highly automated: annual revenue per employee is about US$300,000.

Metal Ore Mining Industry ForecastThe output of US metal mining is forecast to grow at an annual compounded rate of 5.4 % between 2008 and 2013.
