What Futures Traders Should Watch This Week

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

 A Hot week ahead and that’s not just if you are south of the 37^th parallel as summer bleeds into Fall the next week of data the markets will need to discount is far reaching.

We’ll have everything needed to move the markets as we do expect increased volatility from Government data releases, a baker’s dozen of Fed member speeches, a smattering of earnings reports this, in addition to the lasting uncertainty in the Middle East, Black Sea shipping traffic and the Russia Ukraine conflict. Summertime war strategies are giving way to shortened daylight and long diplomatic efforts.

U.S. Dollar

The U.S. Dollar is strengthening as interest rates are the highest since 2004, a 5% 2 yr note is looking very good to many investors nervous about the remaining gas in the equity markets bullishness., Just this past Monday, during the bull move to near record highs.

The last time the index advanced at least 1% to within 1% of a new 52-week high as new lows outnumbered new highs was Dec. 21, 1999, a few months before the Dotcom Bubble top.

That’s according to Jason Goepfert, who founded SentimenTrader and now serves as an adviser at NextGen News.

The Economic Data releases will also find reason to potentially roil the markets, Non Farm Payrolls, JOLTS, Core PCE, GDP, and CB Consumer confidence headline the most impactful data releases.

Energies during Conflict

The energy’s, metals, securities, grains and interest rates are swirling in the uncertainty from a lack of resolution in the attempted unwinding of the Iranian nuclear program.

Don’t let your guard down just yet, the fog continues, tune into the Sunday evening markets to witness reactions to the weekend news streams, manufactured or true.

Futures 102: The Daily Briefing by Cannon

Every morning, the world’s biggest banks and macro strategists publish where markets are headed. The rest of the world waits for the headline.

That intelligence stays locked inside trading desks, institutional terminals, and private client portals — accessible only to the few who pay for the privilege, and even they only get what they pay for.

This briefing changes that ( 100% FREE on Cannon’s website!!). Every morning we scour the open web and aggregate everything that matters — pulling from publicly available sources so you never have to — and distill it into one clear, readable edition you can get through before your first coffee is finished.

No terminals. No subscriptions. No private portals. Just everything the market is saying, gathered in one place, every morning before the bell.

November Rough Rice

November rough rice has resumed its rally into a new contract high. At this point, if the chart can sustain further strength, we are left with the low percentage fourth upside PriceCount objective to aim for in the 2155 area.

The PriceCount study is a tool that can help to project the distance of a move in price. The counts are not intended to be an ‘exact’ science but rather offer a target area for the four objectives which are based off the first leg of a move with each subsequent count having a smaller percentage of being achieved.

It is normal for the chart to react by correcting or consolidating at an objective and then either resuming its move or reversing trend. Best utilized in conjunction with other technical tools, PriceCounts offer one more way to analyze charts and help to manage your positions and risk.

Trading in futures, options, securities, derivatives or OTC products entails significant risks which must be understood prior to trading and may not be appropriate for all investors. Past performance of actual trades or strategies is not necessarily indicative of future results.
