| 10:55 EDT | | | Today's U.S. reports
Today's U.S. reports revealed a big upside May surprise for Michigan sentiment that included an outsized-pop in the present conditions index, alongside a 0.6% April leading indicators rise that beat assumptions, but that followed downward back-revisions that left the April index at the expected level. Analysts would partly attribute the big sentiment surge to volatility in the preliminary survey, and analysts assume some mean-reversion in the final May survey that trims the hefty May gain in the present conditions measure. Overall, today's upside headline surprises take some of the edge off yesterday's disappointing Philly Fed, initial claims and housing starts headlines. |

Stocks were strong at the open as traders rolled out positions ahead of the expiration of options.

The reading of 83.7 was above the expected 77.9. The Leading Economic Indicators for April increased 0.6% versus the expected increase of 0.2%. |

| 09:30 EDT | | | Fed Policy: think tank report circulating on next week's FOMC Minutes
Fed Policy: think tank report circulating on next week's FOMC Minutes to the April 30, May 1 policy meeting. The report suggests the mintues will show the ongoing debate on the Committee behind QE and the exit (no kidding). The Fed is facing a number of challenges in determing its policy path. Indeed, as analysts have noted there are a number of factors arguing for and against QE (according to the Fed's criteria) that make it a difficult call. Supposedly the FOMC will only start really planning an exit at next month's meeting (such was somewhat presaged by the Hilsenrath article that the Fed is mapping a strategy). Analysts don't expect any definitive indications in next month's policy statement regarading the timing of an exit as much remains dependent on economic and financial conditions. Analysts'll continue to monitor data (as will the Fed and everyone else in the market), especially the May employment numbers, for clues. |
