Take the CME Group Gold Challenge
Gold futures at CME Group are one of the most traded futures contracts today. Many traders use Gold futures as a safe-haven contract during times of economic uncertainty.
Now CME Group invites you to put your knowledge of their Gold markets to the test. The winner will walk away with a 1 oz. gold bar. Playing is simple: Between May 22 - June 1, 2017, enter your prediction for the June 30, 2017 closing price of the August Gold futures contract (GCQ7). Closest without going over wins. Good Luck!
Enter Contest2. Hot Market: U.S. Stock Index Bulls Are Right Back In Business
From our friend Jim Wyckoff at JimWyckoff.com
Click on image below to enlarge
The major U.S. stock indexes hit record highs this week, in a dramatic rebound from solid losses seen last week that initially hinted near-term market tops could be in place.
The stock index bulls again have the strong near-term technical advantage and there are no early, significant technical clues to suggest prices will not continue to trend sideways to higher in the near term.
My daily reports will provide those important, early chart clues that suggest a market is poised for a trend change, or trend acceleration.
