Global oil prices jump after OPEC reports the biggest monthly drop in output in two years in December as it prepped for the start of 1.2 million in agreed production cuts in 2019. U.S. equity futures indicate a modestly stronger opening on Wall Street ahead of December manufacturing data and fourth quarter earnings from Schlumberger, Sun Trust Banks and State Street.

    Here’s what low NYSE trading volume is telling us about the stock market’s direction

    Some of the bearish advisers I monitor are worried that it might be, on the grounds that volume is a leading indicator and New York Stock Exchange trading volume has been trending lower. As you can see from the chart below, the five-day moving average of NYSE volume currently is a third less than where it stood in mid-December. To be sure, measuring the impact of lower trading volume is anything but straightforward, since trading volume has grown steadily over the years.

    Volatility Hedge Funds Hit by Market Woes in All Directions

    February, by contrast, proved hugely disruptive when the VIX staged a violent spike, roiling traders of all stripes. Now, the question is whether the VIX will clock in at relatively muted levels if stocks take a downturn, a phenomenon that hit arbitrage strategies at the tail end of last year. December’s implied volatility proved too low for traders selling S&P 500 puts while buying VIX futures, according to Grant Melson at Houndstooth Capital Management in Austin, Texas.

    [$$] Midcap Stocks Try to Shed the ‘Orphaned Index’ Label

    Wall Street’s wild ride has shined a light on a segment of the stock market that is often forgotten: midcap stocks. Considered less risky than their small-cap counterparts, midcaps—which typically have a market capitalization between $2 billion and $10 billion—are now less expensive than smaller and larger peers after the stock market’s punishing fourth-quarter selloff. “Midcaps are the orphaned index,” said Mark Fried, president of TFG Wealth Management, which has $100 million in assets under management.
