Stocks have continued their rise despite a poor ADP figure. Meanwhile, precious metals and crude gains round up another good day for commodities.   

  • Value stocks outperform as sentiment lifts 
  • Weak ADP figure offset by Trump’s promise of a strong NFP jobs release 
  • Crude hits five-month high as stockpiles tumble 

Traders have grown in confidence today, as market gains drive the S&P 500 to within just 2% of record highs. The surge in value stocks seen today is highlighted by outperformance for small-caps on the Russell 2000 and Aim market. That desire for value has been highlighted by the strength we continue to see for airlines such as IAG, Ryanair, and easyJet. However, there is a distinct difference between US and European airlines, with the prospect of further lockdowns restricting travel and tourism gains on the other side of the Atlantic.  

On the economic front, there are fears for Friday's jobs report, after a disappointing ADP jobs number today. With jobless claims on the rise and ADP payrolls around one million jobs below expectations, there are doubts around Trumps promise of a big jobs number on Friday. Those economic worries do continue to feed precious metal gains, with gold hitting record highs on a daily basis this week. 

 Crude prices have broken higher after yet another significant drawdown in US weekly stockpiles. The decline 7.5 million barrels is well above the 3.4m drawdown expected by the market. With crude seemingly having broken from a period of consolidation that has taken hold over the past two weeks, we are looking another possible stage of the recovery after a sharp rise in May. Fears over whether demand would fully recover remain relevant given weak jet fuel demand, yet we are likely to see gasoline demand continue to rise as people take to their cars.
