Bullet Points: Highlights and Announcements

By Mark O’Brien Senior Broker

Energy: September Natural gas touched $10.028 per million British thermal units intraday yesterday, a 14-yr. high. It closed at $9.193 – a ± $9,000 per contract correction off its highs, yet still more than twice the price a year ago.

Financials: If you turn to any financial news source, you’d think the only thing traders are thinking about this week is the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City’s annual Economic Policy Symposium. This is a 3-day gathering of about 120 economists and policy makers from government agencies and academia – including many central bankers – from around the world. It all takes place in Jackson Hole, Wyoming starting tomorrow.

Why is it important? The symposium kicks off with a speech given by the Chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve, currently Jerome Powell. While not an FOMC meeting where central bank policy is communicated and interest rates are set, the speech has become an opportunity to define the Fed’s. comprehensive policy approach on a global stage to a far-reaching audience. Thus, it has become highly anticipated – arguably more so than past symposium speeches given the current historic rise in inflation globally, and particularly in the U.S. and Europe. Probably the overarching question traders are listening for Chair Powell to answer (he almost certainly will not come right out and say it) is whether the Fed will raise rates by 50 or 75 basis points when Federal Reserve members meet in September to consider monetary policy.

All Roads Lead to Jackson Hole + Futures Trading Levels 8.23.2022

All Roads Lead to Jackson Hole…

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

Most of the August 22 week economic data will probably take a backseat to anticipation of Jerome Powell’s speech about “The Economic Outlook” on Friday at 10:00 ET at the Jackson Hole Symposium.

In the past, the Fed Chair has used this opportunity to signal the direction of monetary policy or policy framework updates or offering insight into the Fed’s balance sheet impending adjustments. What is expected are comments related to Policymakers continuing to move to a restrictive stance on interest rates (additional tightening) until they are sure that inflation is on a trajectory of the 2 % inflation target rate.

Chairman Powell will probably also note that Fed’s balance sheet reductions will pick up the pace in September providing less stimulus. Chairman Powell will probably be able to speak to some improvements in Demand as well as some relief in the supply chain issues.

Even though we have a number of economic numbers the Fed’s Open market committee will be digesting this week for policy change announcements for the next meeting in September, I will expect Chairman Powell will include the caveat that the FOMC is data dependent and there’s plenty of data between now and then. As we look forward to this open Microphone meeting on the 26th, we have plenty of Data for the market to digest as well between now and then,  Tuesday PMI Composite and New Home Sales, Wednesday Durable Goods and pending home sales, Thursday GDP (second estimate of Q2 GDP) and Jobless claims Plan your trade and trade your plan!!

Weekly Newsletter 1111: When to Exit a Trade? Futures Support Resistance Levels for the Week Ahead

Dear Traders,

Exiting a Trade might be more important than the entry….

“You Must Understand That There Is More Than One Path To The Top Of The Mountain.”- Miyamoto Musashi, A Book Of Five Rings: The Classic Guide To Strategy
Futures and futures options trading is a challenging activity. More so for those traders who look to trading as an occupation. So much thinking, contemplating, planning goes into trading – related to the markets you’re trading, the strategies that get implemented, the possible risk/reward outcomes. For someone new to trading, seeing the sum total of all the parts may be a lot to take in. Veteran traders will tell you the full picture keeps changing and can be daunting often.
When trading goes well, the trader’s energy and overall outlook is powerful, optimistic and energizing for other aspects of life. When trading goes unsuccessfully, most traders feel the pain in many ways outside of the obvious financial consequences.
Whether you’re a day trader, a position trader, a spread trader, or an option trader, some of the mental challenges and the questions to go with them are constant:
  • Where, When and how do I enter a trade?
  • How do I define risk and implement any type of risk control, like placing stop orders, or implementing some sort of option protection?
  • Where and how do I exit a trade, both in the event of a profitable trade and an unsuccessful one?

Bullet Points: Highlights and Announcements

By Mark O’Brien Senior Broker
Financials: On Monday, the People’s Bank of China cut two key interest rates by ten basis points and pumped the equivalent of ±$60 billion into the financial system to rev up lending and prod wider economic growth. A number of economists viewed the unexpected move as a small opening move toward future support by China’s central bank for the country’s economy, and may foreshadow deeper cuts to borrowing costs down the line. The rate cuts came on the heels of data released Monday showing economic activity slowed across the board in July, including factory output, investment, consumer spending, youth hiring and real estate.
Today the U.S. Federal Reserve released its minutes of their prior meeting showing the board was unanimous in the central bank’s last rate decision – a second 75-point increase in as many meetings – and in their outlook that further rate increases were needed, but were sensitive to the risk of going too far. “Participants judged that, as the stance of monetary policy tightened further, it likely would become appropriate at some point to slow the pace of policy rate increases while assessing the effects of cumulative policy adjustments on economic activity and inflation,” the minutes said.
Energy (Crude oil): After trading to 6-month lows Tuesday, September WTI crude oil advanced ±$1.20/barrel to ±$87.75 after the EIA’s weekly supply report showed a steeper-than-expected draw down in U.S. crude stocks.
(Natural gas): Today, September Natural gas traded to new intra-day high of 9.677 – also a new life-of-contract high as analysts warned European natural gas prices could rise an additional 60% this winter.
Softs (Cotton): on Friday the USDA supply/demand report dramatically lowered estimates for the U.S. cotton crop and slashed the 2022/23 projected ending stocks to their lowest level on record – primarily due to the extended drought in Texas. Since the mid-July lows near 83 1/2 cents/pound, Dec. cotton advanced to near $1.20 / pound yesterday, a ±$18,000 move.
Livestock (Cattle): Today, Dec. live cattle traded to within .40/lb. of its contract high close of $152.07/lb. on April 21. The cattle market remains in a steady 2 1/2-month uptrend as traders see tightening supply over the next three quarters.

Trading Key Economic Reports

Every trader has done it. You’ve done it, your friends have done it, even your broker has done it at one point early in their career.

Here’s the scenario:

You’ve finally finished your futures education at Cannon Trading Company. You’ve done you’re homework on stops, limits, indicators and price movements for the market you’re trading. You’re ready to go, you enter your limit order and you wait.

**DING**

You get filled. Your heart rate picks up, a wry smile crosses your face and you begin to imagine the possibilities of the one trade you’re in: How much can I make? How much can I lose before it’s too much? You’ve waited through months of technical trading and deep meditation to get here, and now it’s finally paying off with one of your first trades in the live market. Sayonara paper trading; aloha live futures.

Then, all of a sudden, the top of the hour hits and the market starts acting up. It’s getting more volatile and more volatile; it’s picking up speed and taking an unforgiving turn against you. You can’t think straight, all you can think about is your losing position that could get worse and worse as the seconds go by. You race to put in a stop order, but you finally have to settle for a market order just to stop the bleeding. You stare.

**DING**

You’re out of the market. What the hell just happened? You stare at the screen; did your indicators lie to you? Is your system faulty? Did you not listen to your broker? Well, probably not. But you’re down several handles, you’ve lost some money and your pride is aching.

CME Group’s free online course “Learn About Key Economic Events” is a valuable tool that can help you understand:

 

Gross Domestic Product (GDP)

The Retail Sales Report

The Non-Farm Payroll Report

The Consumer Price Index and Producer Price Index

U.S. Housing Data

The European Central Bank

The FOMC Report

The Oil Data Report

The Importance of Consumer Confidence Surveys
