Stock Index futures are entering the “rollover period”.

Somewhat of a choppy intraday price action.

December is now the front month/ higher volume.

September will expire this coming Friday at 8:30 Am Central time.

Tomorrow we have an anticipated CPI report ahead of next week’s FOMC. Below is a good informative piece by my colleague, John Thorpe:

Has the Stock Market bottomed?

In the Yardeni Bull/Bear index, the last temperature taken on Sep. 7th, there were .53.3 % bearish vs only .18% bullish sentiment for the Stock market. With the August Consumer Price Index Release 7:30 am Central time, the Peak inflation game speculation may be nearly done.

76fdf9d3 0d6e 414e 9315 a64aa02f973b
What I mean by that is we will have established a turn in the voracity of “the Summer of Inflation” IF the year over year change is less than last month’s 8.5 %, the consensus is a reading between 7.9-8.3 % ( whenever i talk about consensus right before a report you can damn well know that is already discounted by the market) The commonly quoted inflation rate is actually the change in the CPI from the year earlier or Yr/yr. see lower number. Now think of the number being released with three potential outcomes relative to the consensus. Higher than, the same as or less than expectations. If the market has been rallying because of the consensus, and we believe we can make an argument this is true, then the markets reaction to a Higher CPI number will provide a backdrop for a sharp sell off in equities. If the CPI number is a lower number than consensus, I could make a strong case for the market to rally and hold it. And finally, if the CPI numbers are in line with expectations, the sellers will be more aggressive as the previous weeks ralies will have been overdone in anticipation of lower CPI numbers and expect the market to sell off as it waits for more data. CPI is currently an important indicator for market direction as the FED uses some of this data to drive it’s rate decision making process.. I included the Yardeni Bull/Bear ration to give you a sense that even with the rally in the stocks these past few weeks, many institutions are Bearish yet still, and may be close to a capitulation point if the CPI Data is extremely positive tomorrow. (CPI % lower than consensus. Plan your trade and trade your plan.

Bullet Points: Highlights and Announcements

By Mark O’Brien Senior Broker

Financials: Given Federal Reserve Board Chairman Jerome Powell’s statements at last week’s Economic Policy Symposium in Jackson Hole, where he reiterated the Fed.’s commitment to halting inflation and that “some pain” will come to the U.S. economy as a result, U.S. and other global stock markets, while lower this week, have been measured and arguably not anxiety-filled. At least for the time being, traders seem to have factored in continued interest rate hikes by our central bank and other countries’ and slower, possibly even recessionary conditions. That was read into Wednesday’s ADP private payrolls report that showed a deceleration in jobs creation (132,000 in August).

Next up: the closely watched Non-farm payrolls report this Friday, widely considered to be one of the most important measures of the U.S. economy.  A survey of economists forecast an increase of 318,000 new jobs (median estimate).

Metals: Dec. gold traded through $1,700/oz this morning, marking its longest monthly losing streak in four years, and Dec. silver tumbled to $17.40 intraday – a more than two-year low – as traders expect rising interest rates will persist making Treasury bonds and the U.S. dollar more attractive.

Lumber: Rising interest rates and a strong U.S. dollar have weighed on other commodity prices. Basis the Nov. futures contract, lumber prices have been slashed by more than half since their early-Feb. highs of ±$1,000/board foot, trading to $460/board foot intraday today – to its life-of-contract low. Credit weak demand as well, with a cooling housing market and falling new home construction.

Energy: Crude oil (Dec.) continued it’s steep sell-off this week – losing ±$10/barrel over the last three days – returning to near its mid-August/5-month lows near $86.00/barrel. The market seems dogged by softening demand with several major cities in China seeing new Covid restrictions, including the total lockdown of Chengdu with ±20 million people.

Trading Futures, Options on Futures, and retail off-exchange foreign currency transactions involves substantial risk of loss and is not suitable for all investors.  You should carefully consider whether trading is suitable for you in light of your circumstances, knowledge, and financial resources. You may lose all or more of your initial investment. Opinions, market data, and recommendations are subject to change at any time when it comes to Futures Trading.

Adjust your Trading to Volatility & Futures Trading Levels 8.31.2022

December is now the front month for bonds, ten years, Silver, Copper, most grains, metals and softs.

ASP unemployment early in the session and later Crude oil inventories.

Also tomorrow is the last trading day of the month.

 Last Friday Powell 8 minute speech injected volatility back into the markets.

Few pointers below, hope it helps.

 

*While I have no idea were the market is going from day to day, minute to minute, week to week etc. I do know that in the past, some of the sharpest and largest rallies were short covering after a large sell off. More often than not market sell offs and volatility like we are seeing do not end up as V type of action but more like U or W when it is all said and done.

 

*Expect the unexpected…

 

* Have an idea of what you are looking to do, keep in mind possible risk and have a game plan. Now more than ever, plan your trade and than trade your plan!

 

* Think money management, hedging risk while you are still trying to figure out how to profit.

 

* Know what is going on, reports, current margins, current limits and more.

 

·    Consider short term options instead of futures and/or MICROS

 

*Trade smaller. The bands are much larger. Watch the VIX.

 

* DO NOT assume anything…if you are not sure, contact us and we will try our best to assist with the combined, vast experience we have here as a team.

 

 

My colleague, John Thorpe, Ex floor broker, contributed the following on the VIX and the VVIX:

 

We recommend all stock indices intraday traders to keep an eye on the VIX for directional clues and study, many of you have access through other means to view this critical trading barometer, VIX now trades 5 days per week ,23 hours per day. if you need to add the VIX data to your trading platforms , it’s 3 bucks per month, penny wise and pound foolish if you don’t. Contact your broker on how to add the Volatility Index traded through the CBOE to your trading platform

Trading 201: Trading Futures Spreads – Basic But Important Strategy

“A Basic And Important Strategy For Commodities Traders Using Spread Trading.”
By: Mark O’Brien, Cannon Trading Commodities Broker
Over my 20+ year career as a commodities broker, I have studied and traded a wide range of approaches to trading the futures markets. From candlestick formations to the commodity channel index, from condors to turtle trading, there’s an enormous catalog of tools and methods available for traders to consider.
One method I have noticed is surprisingly underrepresented among retail traders is futures spread trading, where a single position in the market consists of the simultaneous purchase of one futures contract and sale of a related futures contract as a unit. I call it surprising because some of the most invested players in futures trading – and arguably the most sophisticated – include large speculators and commercial firms who regularly employ spreads. This includes traders in the markets who often actually buy and sell the physical commodities we trade. Farmers, ranchers and other food growers along with food producers, petroleum companies who either drill for oil or natural gas or refine these products – or both, financial institutions with enormous holdings in treasuries, equities or currencies, mining interests and their buyers – all these areas of production and distribution employ spreads from time to time as an important aspect of their businesses. Indeed, spread trading is a fundamental and essential part of the commodities futures markets.
At the same time, despite the remarkable increase in interest and in the growth in the volume of the futures markets over the years, spread trading is typically dismissed by most other traders in search of a trading strategy. With so much attention focused on other approaches related to straightforward directional trading (and within that category, day-trading) it’s not difficult to see how spread trading can be overlooked.
