WEEKLY UPDATE – NORTH AMERICAN STOCKS SUFFER BEATDOWN ON SOFT GUIDANCE, CHINESE DATA Maybe it was a good thing that the U.S. markets were closed on Monday in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. The Dow Jones Industrial Average didn`t muster a green close in any of the four days the markets were open, including a 318-point shellacking on Friday to cap the biggest weekly loss for the Dow in more than one year. The Toronto market may have wished Wall Street stayed closed too after starting the week with a solid Monday as investors largely ignored data from China showing that growth in the world`s second biggest economy slowed slightly in the fourth quarter. After flirting with the highest level in nearly three years during the week, the TSX Composite collapsed on Friday by 215 points, notching its biggest single-day loss since last June.

North American markets have gotten off to a disjointed start in 2014 and their was little incentive for buying equities last week.

Economic data in the United States was scant, leaving investors to earnings reports, forecasts and their own thoughts as to whether or not the economy is strong enough to continue to support the bull run of 2013. Canadians got a bit of a mixed bag of information from the nation`s number crunchers. Retail sales and manufacturing were strong in November, but inflation remained benign to end the year, while wholesale trade and the jobs market showed little improvement from prior months.

Companies like IBM, Johnson & Johnson and Verizon epitomized the week by beating on earnings from the fourth quarter, but taking a drubbing because of less-than-expected guidance for the current quarter.

That`s not exactly what investors wanted to hear as they question the strength of the markets against the backdrop of the Federal Reserve beginning to scale-back its monetary stimulus. In December, the US`s central bank announced that it was tapering its purchases of Treasuries and mortgage-backed securities from $85 billion per month to $75 billion per month, starting this month and that, depending on economic data, the asset-purchase plan could be wound down by the end of the year.

In general, earnings have not been terrible; they`re just not as strong as in the past. FactSet Research had estimated earnings growth for S&P 500 companies to show 6.3-percent growth coming into earnings season, but last week that figure was lowered to 5.9-percent growth because of some disappointing reports., namely lower earnings in the energy sector. Of the 102 S&P companies to report so far, 66 have beat analyst estimates, 10 were in line and 26 have whiffed.

Investors are clearly undecided and nervous at the moment, as gauged by the CBOE Volatility Index. The so-called “fear index” mushroomed more than 45 percent on the week, including a 31.7-percent jump on Friday. That was the biggest one-day rise since the Boston Marathon bombings last April.

Outside of North America, China put pressure on the markets as HSBC/Markit`s preliminary reading of the China Manufacturing Purchasing Managers` Index dropped to 49.6 in January from a final reading of 50.5 in December. The 50-mark serves as a boundary between areas of expansion and contraction. The sub-50 reading was the first time that the index was in contraction territory in six months and sparked concerns about future growth in the country. In closely watched subindexes, new orders swung to a decline, while new export orders and employment (both already below 50) showed acceleration to contraction. China`s gross domestic product showed growth of 7.7 percent for 2013, certainly not a bad figure, but down from 7.8 percent the year before.

Last year, the markets were spectacular as investors focused largely on the actions of the US Federal Reserve to prop-up the US economy, effectively giving companies a pass on earnings reports in many instances. This year is different. With the Fed`s desire to turn off the money-printing spigot, companies will have to be judged once again on their own merits. So far, optimism has been mild at best. This week, economic data will pick-up significantly in the States to provide the temperature of the nation`s health. Investors will also be very tuned-in to the latest meeting of the Federal Open Markets Committee, which concludes with a press conference on Wednesday afternoon. Any words, either dovish or hawkish, could trigger some extreme volatility Wednesday afternoon, so be on the lookout for that.

The Canadian dollar moved below 90 US cents last week for the first time since July 2009, continuing its huge slide against its North American counterpart in 2014. The Bank of Canada kept its key interest rate at 1 percent, but offered very dovish comments on policy, which traders interpreted as the next move may be downward, not upward, if the main bank does make a move. The Globe and Mail called it “open season on the loonie,” as the general consensus is that the Canadian currency is going to continue to move lower as inflation remains stubbornly low. It`s not that the US dollar is exactly showing a ton of strength; the ICE Dollar Index, which measures the greenback against a basket of six leading world currencies, fell a full percent in the last five trading days. On the week, the Canadian dollar shed another 1.10%, or $0.01007, against the USD, meaning next week will begin with one Canadian dollar buying US$0.902135.

Commodity Snapshot:

* Gold futures were boosted by the USD moving lower, rising on Friday to their highest closing settlement since November 19. Spot gold has now risen in five straight weeks, tallying gains of 5.3 percent after getting pummeled from September through most of December. Gold also got a lift after Sonia Gandhi, leader of India`s Congress party, reportedly is urging the Indian government to curb gold import taxes, a move that would be bullish for gold and silver.

Precious metals traders did exercise some caution, though, because if the Fed announces this coming week that it is extending its tapering efforts, that could cause a sharp rise in the USD and be hurtful to gold and silver prices. February contracts were the most actively traded for the week, advancing $12.40, or 0.99%, per ounce to $1,264.30.

* Silver futures didn`t measure up to gold this past week, hamstringed by worries about Fed action and soft economic data from China. As a major silver consumer because of its wide array of uses, such as in electronics and solar products, weak Chinese manufacturing data weighs on silver. Whereas gold is also benefiting from the Chinese lunar new year, (a time when gold is given as a gift), silver doesn`t reap those rewards. All things considered, there was little catalyst for silver appreciation last week. March contracts for silver were the most actively traded, declining by 53.9 cents, or 2.65 percent, to $19.765 per ounce.

* Copper futures didn`t stand a chance last week after China`s economy grew less in the fourth quarter than the year earlier, industrial production missed expectations and the nation`s manufacturing sector unexpectedly was in an unexpected contraction in January. China is far and away the word`s biggest copper consumer, so the trifecta of data took its toll on the industrial red metal, sending it to the lowest close since December 11. March contracts were the most actively traded on New York`s COMEX exchange during the week; falling by 7.3 cents, or 2.18%, to $3.2715 per pound.

* Oil futures hit their highest level since January 2 on Thursday, surging in the first three trading days of the shortened week on some support from a depreciating USD and unseasonably bad weather in the United States that bolstered energy demand. The Energy Information Administration reported on Thursday that crude stockpiles rose in the U.S. in the week prior, marking the first increase in eight weeks, although distillate stockpiles, including heating oil and diesel fuel, fell more than expected. Traders did take profits on Friday to pare the weekly gain against a backdrop of some concerns that slowing growth in emerging markets may have an impact on future demand.

February contracts for West Texas Intermediate Crude were the most actively traded; rising $3.05, or 3.22%, to $96.64 per barrel.

Equity Market Snapshot:

(All percentages on a weekly basis unless otherwise noted) * Major gold miners were a bright spot in the markets. Goldcorp (TSX:G, +4.60%), Barrick Gold (TSX:ABX, +2.13%), Yamana Gold (TSX:YRI, +0.28%), Agnico-Eagle Mines (TSX:AEM, +6.09%) and Newmont Mining (TSX:NMC, +1.93%) all notched gains again, although Kinross Gold (TSX:K, -1.53%) fell from highs into negative territory.

* Osisko Mining Corp. (TSX:OSK, +1.39%) asked shareholders to give the board time to seek an alternative to Goldcorp`s $2.6-billion acquisition offer, calling the offer “inadequate.” Osisko stock has surged to $6.56 per share, far above the implied value of $5.95 per share in the Goldcorp offer.

* Major energy plays still couldn`t find traction, even with rising oil prices again. Talisman Energy (NYSE:TLM, -1.14%), Canadian Natural Resources (NYSE:CNQ, -1.63%), Suncor Energy (NYSE:SU, -2.29%), Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM, -4.35%), Imperial Oil Ltd. (NYSE:IMO, -1.46%), Chevron Corp. (NYSE:CVX, -2.51%) and Cenovus Energy (NYSE:CVE, -2.30%) all shed points. XLE, the Energy Select Sector SPDR, moved down 1.95 percent for its fourth straight weekly loss.

* TransCanada Corp. (NYSE:TRP, -1.29%) said that on January 22 it began shipping crude oil on the southern portion of its controversial Keystone XL pipeline.

* The biggest of banks in the US took their lumps a week after a mixed bag of earnings reports. Bank of America (NYSE:BAC, -3.29%), Wells Fargo & Co. (NYSE:WFC, -1.96%), UBS AG (NYSE:UBS, -4.04%), Goldman Sachs Group (NYSE:GS, -4.90%), Citigroup (NYSE:C, -5.62%) and JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM, -5.20%) unitedly moved lower. XLF (NYSE:XLF, -3.74%), the financial select sector SPDR that tracks the financial stocks in the S&P 500, added to losses from the week prior.

* Canada`s biggest banks weren`t much better than their US counterparts. Toronto-Dominion Bank (TSX:TD, even) managed a flat week, but Bank of Montreal (TSX:BMO, -0.89%), Royal Bank of Canada (TSX:RY, -1.91%), National Bank of Canada (TSX:NA, -2.26%), Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (TSX:CM, -0.73%) and Bank of Nova Scotia (TSX:BNS, -1.27%)all gave up points.

* BlackBerry (TSX:BB), continued its upward march for the seventh straight week as investors are betting new CEO John Chen can turn the company around. The struggling smartphone maker once called Research in Motion announced that it is selling the majority of its commercial real estate holdings in Canada, although it didn`t provide any details on what it expects in gross proceeds from the sales. Also providing catalysts, Citron Research boosted its price target for BlackBerry to $15 and the US Department of Defense said it is going to continue to use BlackBerry phones. During its recent climb, shares of BB are up about 75 percent.

* McKesson Corp. (NYSE:MCK, +3.33%), the largest drug distributor in the US, was successful in its second attempt to acquire a 75-percent stake in Celesio AG just 10 days after a failed tender offer.

McKesson is spending 6.2 billion euros (US$8.5 billion) in the deal, comprised of buying the interests of Celesio`s two largest shareholders for 23.50 euros per share. Celesio is a European drug distributing giant, supplying 65,000 pharmacies and hospitals, largely in 14 EU countries.

* Shares of Under Armour (NYSE:UA, +1.83%) rose after the apparel maker beat out Nike (NYSE:NKE, -2.37%) and Adidas AG (OTCQX:ADDYY, -4.09%) to partner with the University of Notre Dame to supply the vaunted college`s men`s and women`s varsity teams with apparel, footwear, uniforms and equipment for the next 10 years. Less than a week earlier, Under Armour had struck a similar deal with the Naval Academy.

* Dow Chemical Co. (NYSE:DOW) eked ahead after activist investor Dan Loeb`s Third Point made its investment in Dow the largest current holding for the fund. Loeb is pushing for the company to spin-off its petrochemical business into a stand-alone unit.

* International Business Machines Corp. (NYSE:IBM, -5.50%) agreed to sell its low-end server business for $2.3 billion to Lenovo Group Ltd., lowering its risks related to plunging sales in its computer hardware business, decreasing its reliance on computer hardware as sales of the products plunge. Big Blue is taking about $2 billion in cash and the rest of the money via shares of Beijing-based Lenova.

* Montreal-based cheesemaker Saputo Group (TSX:SAP, -0.80%) finally put an end to its battle to take control of Australia`s Warrnambool Cheese and Butter, emerging victorious in the bidding war by agreeing to buy the Murray Goulburn Co-Operative`s shares for about AU$92.8 million in cash. The months-long fight between Saputo and Australia`s Murray Gouldburn and Bega Cheese was tilting in Saputo`s favor when it bought Bega`s 18.8% stake in Warrnambool last week. The latest acquisition gives Saputo majority control of the cheese company at 52.7 percent.

* Billionaire investor Carl Icahn tweeted two days in a row that he boosted his stake in Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL, +1.00%) by another $500 million, bringing his total holdings in the iPhone maker to about $3.6 billion. Icahn also continued to bang the drum that he wants Apple to perform a massive share buyback, submitting a seven-page letter to Apple shareholders.

* Speaking of Icahn, shares of Herbalife (NYSE:HLF, -14.44%) got pounded for the second straight week, as the multi-level-marketing peddler of nutritional products was the topic of a letter by Massachusetts Senator Ed Markey to the Federal Trade Commission and SEC, calling for an investigation of the company`s business practices.

Herbalife has been called a pyramid scheme by hedge fund titan Bill Ackman and announced a $1 billion bet that the company will collapse, but Icahn has opposed that view, taking a large position in Herbalife.

* Transportation giant Bombardier (TSX:BBD.B, -6.08%) fell lower for the fourth straight week after saying that the Company delivered only 238 airplanes in 2013, which was short of its own guidance and 19 percent lower than deliveries in 2012. Further, the company said that it is laying-off 1,700 employees in its aerospace division, equating to about 6 percent of the division`s staff.

* Home Depot (NYSE:HD, -2.27%) reported that it bought Houston-based Blinds.com, reportedly the world`s largest Online window coverings retailer, the latest in a string of small purchases for the home improvement retailer in the last couple years. Terms of the acquisition were not disclosed.

* Agrium (NYSE:AGU, -5.00%) shares dropped as the fertilizer producer said its fourth-quarter earnings will be on the bottom end of prior guidance, citing low selling prices broadly across all wholesale nutrients and weaker potash sales volumes, amongst other things.

Agrium has previously forecast profits in the range of $0.80 to $1.25 per share.

Weekly Indices Results:

The S&P TSX Composite Index dropped for the first time in three weeks, backtracking 170.60 points, or 1.23%, to 13,717.79. The TSX-Venture Composite Index snapped a four-week winning streak, declining 9.19 points, or 0.94%, to 967.30.

In the States, the Dow Jones Industrial Average got crushed, sinking 579.45 points, or 3.52%, to 15,879.45. The much-broader S&P 500 slid for the second consecutive week; carving-off 48.41 points, or 2.63%, to close at 1,790.29. The tech-rich NASDAQ Composite completed the red sweep; losing 69.41 points, or 1.65%, to 4,128.17.

Canadian Economic Data:

* Statistics Canada said that wholesale trade was C450.43 billion in November, unchanged from October and missing analyst forecasts of a 0.3% rise. There actually would have been a contraction, had October`s figure not been revised downward from a previous estimate of C450.53 billion. In volume terms, sales declined 0.1 percent. In November, gains in the motor vehicle and parts segment (+2.5%), were offset by losses in other segments, including machinery and equipment (-0.8%). Inventories declined 0.3% to C$61.45 billion.

* Stats Can reported that manufacturing sales increased 1.0% in November to $50.5 billion, the sixth advance in seven months and putting sales at their highest level since December 2011. The increase in November largely reflected gains in the transportation equipment (+6.1%), machinery industries (+5.4%) and motor vehicle sales (+5.0%).

Declining sales in the food industry (-1.5%) and chemical industry (-2.3%) pared the gains. Sales advanced in 11 of 21 industries, representing about 58% of manufacturing. For durable goods, sales rose 2.9% to $25.6 billion. Sales declined 0.9% on the non-durable goods side of manufacturing. Constant dollar manufacturing sales increased 0.7% in November, indicating a rise in the volume of goods sold.

* The Consumer Price Index rose 1.2% in the 12 months to December, following a 0.9% increase in November. The December rise put inflation at its highest level in five months. The increase was largely attributable to higher gasoline prices (+4.7%). Excluding gasoline, consumer prices rose 1.1% on a year-over-year basis in December, after posting a 1.0% increase in November. Among the eight major components, six recorded gains in the 12 months to December, led by a rise in the transportation index (+2.1%), followed by higher shelter costs and food prices (+1.9%). The health and personal care component (-0.4%) was the largest decliner.

* Retail sales rose 0.6% in November to $41.0 billion, the fourth increase in five months, mostly because of higher sales at motor vehicle and parts dealers (+1.2%) as well as electronics and appliance stores (+6.4%). Gains were observed in 9 of 11 subsectors, accounting for 72% of retail trade. Stats Can said that weather and the timing of new product releases had a greater effect on monthly sales than promotional events in November such as Black Friday. Following three consecutive monthly gains, receipts at food and beverage stores declined 1.1% in November. Sales at building material and garden equipment and supplies dealers (-1.5%) were down for the second consecutive month.

* 512,300 people were getting regular employment insurance benefits in November, according to Stats Can, a number essentially unchanged from October to maintain the even keel that began in May. The number of people on EI rose in Prince Edward Island (+2.4%), Nova Scotia (+1.6%) and New Brunswick (+1.2%), with only minor changes in other provinces.

This week, major economic data will include only Gross Domestic Product on Friday.

U.S. Economic Data:

* The Labor Department said that initial jobless claims inched up by 1,000 to a seasonally adjusted 326,000 in the week ended January 18 from a revised 325,000 (down from 326,000) a week prior. Economists were spot on with their predictions. The four-week moving average, a less volatile measure of new claims, dropped by 3,750 to 331,500.

Initial claims are now starting to level-out after about 8 weeks of heavy fluctuations due to the holiday season.

* The National Association of Realtors reported that existing home sales rose in December after falling in the prior three months, signaling the housing market didn`t lose all of its momentum in the fourth quarter, despite rising mortgage rates and a terrible month of job additions. The agency said that sales of previously owned homes climbed 1 percent to an annual rate of 4.87 million units, just short of the 4.9 million units that economist forecast. For all of 2013, sales were 5.09 million, up 9 percent from 2012 and hit their highest level since 2006.

This week, data in the States will include New Home Sales on Monday; Durable Goods Orders on Tuesday; the FOMC Meeting Announcement on Wednesday; Gross Domestic Product and Initial Jobless Claims on Thursday; and Personal Income and Outlays on Friday.
