FOMC Minutes Ahead!

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

fomc

Tomorrow marks the first time this year investors receive the fed minutes from the January 26-27 meeting. Additional volatility could be the order of the final hours of trading tomorrow as these minutes included 2 dissenting opinions.

Based on FOMC press releases, the eight FOMC meetings in 2025 saw significant divisions, with nine total dissents among 95 votes cast, making unanimous decisions relatively rare. Dissenting votes occurred in multiple 2025 meetings, including two at the July meeting and two at the October meeting, reflecting high disagreement.

In July 2025, a rare dual dissent occurred with two governors opposing a rate decision.

It had been more than three decades since two Federal Reserve Board governors dissented on an interest-rate decision at the same Fed policy meeting for the same reason, two dissenters Bowman and Waller both supported a rate cut (October had 1 governor wanting a .50 point cut while the other dissenter opted for a remail policy what actually happened was a .25 point cut.) Investors treated this news with disappointment generating a nearly 400-point 3-week slide in the S&P 500 index.

That kind of internal division is rare, and markets pay attention to it.

Investors are watching for discussions on inflation, the labor market, and the “one-time” effect of tariffs, which may influence future policy decisions.

According to Mark Spitznagel, Founder and Chief investment officer at Universa Investments,

“The upward momentum in US Equities is likely to persist”

He suggested in an interview that investor exuberance could propel the S&P 500 to 8,000 or beyond before a sharp reversal occurs. As of Tuesday morning, the index was trading close to 6,800.

The Fed Minutes will be released @ 1:00pm CST.

He expressed concern that if the Fed keeps Interest Rates elevated for an extended period, companies may find it difficult to secure funding.

“With the Fed holding steady, markets are likely to anticipate further rate cuts as economic conditions gradually weaken”

Dec. Corn

December Corn is completing its second upside PriceCount objective to the 4.64 area. It would be normal to get a near term reaction from this level in the form of a consolidation or corrective trade. The chart has layers of additional resistance to contend with but if it can sustain further strength, the third count would project a possible run to the 4.73 area which is consistent with a challenge of the November high.

FREE TRIAL AVAILABLE

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.

Non-Farm Payrolls (NFP)

nfp

The following is a crash course on the monthly NFP report (Non-Farm Payroll = Employment Situation) – usually NFP comes out on the first Friday of every month.

Due to the partial govt. shutdown, NFP will be out tomorrow morning at 7:30 AM central (was supposed to be released this past Friday same time)

When NFP is released the following markets, generally, tend to be affected by the most volatility.
Foreign Exchange (Forex) Market: A strong report often strengthens the USD, while a weak report causes it to fall.
Bond Market (Fixed Income): Stronger job growth can lead to higher interest rates (yields) as investors anticipate tighter Fed policy, driving bond prices down. Conversely, weak data often causes investors to move to safe-haven Treasury bonds, lifting prices.
Stock Market (Equities): Markets often react positively to strong growth, but a very strong report can sometimes hurt stocks if it suggests aggressive interest rate hikes. A weak report can cause declines, but it might also trigger a rally if the market expects the Fed to lower interest rates.
Commodity Market (Gold): Gold often reacts inversely to the USD and Treasury yields, acting as a safe haven during economic weakness.

US January Non-Farm Payrolls data will be released Wednesday morning at 7:30 am CT. Economists are forecasting non-farm payrolls +55,000 compared to December’s month’s +50,000. The January jobless rate is expected at 4.4%. Average hourly earnings are expected up +0.3% month over month, up +3.7% year over year.

The Non-Farm Payroll (NFP) report…

Officially called the Employment Situation — is one of the most important monthly U.S. economic indicators. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) releases it on the first Friday of each month (covering the prior month) at 8:30 a.m. ET. However, due to the partial U.S. Government shutdown, the BLS is releasing the report tomorrow, Feb. 11th

It gets its name from the establishment (payroll) survey, which tracks paid jobs outside of farming. The full report actually combines two separate surveys with different methodologies, strengths, and focuses.

The Two Core Surveys

Main Components of the Report

1. Headline Nonfarm Payroll Employment Change (Establishment Survey)

The most-watched number: Net change in total nonfarm payroll jobs (e.g., +50,000 or -100,000).
Often broken out as:
Total nonfarm
Private nonfarm (excludes government)
Revisions to the prior 1–2 months are very common and can be large (tens or even hundreds of thousands).

2. Industry Sector Breakdown (Establishment Survey)

This is one of the most valuable parts. Table B-1 shows detailed job gains/losses by sector. Major categories include:

Goods-producing: Mining, Construction, Manufacturing
Service-providing: Retail Trade, Wholesale Trade, Transportation & Warehousing, Information, Financial Activities, Professional & Business Services, Education & Health Services (especially Health Care), Leisure & Hospitality (food services & drinking places are big), Other Services
Government (federal, state, local)

Markets watch which sectors are driving the total (e.g., health care and leisure/hospitality often add jobs steadily; manufacturing and retail can be volatile).

3. Wage and Hours Data (Establishment Survey)

Average Hourly Earnings (all private nonfarm employees) — month-over-month and year-over-year % change. This is a key inflation signal.
Average Weekly Hours worked (total private, manufacturing, etc.).
Overtime hours in manufacturing.

Strong wage growth can be hawkish for the Fed (potential rate hikes or delayed cuts).

4. Unemployment Rate and Labor Force Metrics (Household Survey)

Official Unemployment Rate (U-3): Unemployed as a percentage of the labor force.
Labor Force Participation Rate
Employment-Population Ratio
Broader measures (sometimes referenced): U-6 (includes underemployed and discouraged workers)
Demographic details (by age, sex, race/ethnicity)
Part-time for economic reasons, long-term unemployed, discouraged workers

5. Other Notable Elements

Annual benchmark revisions — released once a year (usually February/March data) — can revise the entire previous year significantly.
Birth-Death Model — statistical adjustment for new business formations and closures not yet captured in the sample.

Seasonal adjustment — all headline numbers are seasonally adjusted to remove predictable patterns (holidays, school cycles, weather, etc.).

Quick Summary of What Traders and Economists Focus on Most:

Headline NFP (jobs added/lost)
Unemployment rate
Average hourly earnings (wage growth)
Revisions to prior months
Sector details (where the jobs are coming from)

March RBOB (Unleaded Gas)

March Unleaded Gasoline is poised for a challenge of last summer’s high. The original upside PriceCounts off the ‘Liberation Day’ low are still valid. At this point, new sustained highs would project a possible run to the third count to the 2.17 area.

What Futures Traders Should Watch This Week

By Ilan Levy-Mayer, VP

futures

The week ahead brings a mix of catalysts that could keep volatility elevated across major futures markets.

Equity index futures may stay choppy as earnings season continues, while key U.S. economic releases—especially the jobs report and ISM data—could influence rate expectations and drive sharp moves in bonds, metals, and currencies.

Keep in mind NFP (Non-Farm Payroll) is due out this Wednesday!

Gold and silver remain sensitive to macro headlines, with recent volatility suggesting more two‑sided trade ahead.

In energies, crude and natural gas continue to react quickly to geopolitical developments and shifting supply expectations.

Bottom line: this is a week where disciplined risk management matters. With multiple market drivers hitting at once, traders should be prepared for fast moves and wider intraday ranges.

Review below some Crypto contracts and new gold contracts!

The March – May Soybean Spread broke down to a new low where we satisfied the second downside PriceCount objective to the -14.5 area. Now, we are responding with a possible corrective trade higher. At this point, if the chart can resume its break with new sustained lows, the third count would project a possible slide to the -17.75 area.

Brokers Trading System of the Week

Abacus Upside ES Trading System

Market Sector: indices

Markets Traded: ES- Mini SP500

System Type: Swing Trading

Risk per Trade: varies

System Description: An ES swing trading system currently traded by the developer who has 15+ years’ experience. All stock indexes trend upwards over the long term but with some significant daily declines and occasional longer bear markets. The system seeks to take advantage of this bias by actively entering on those days when the upside probability is increased whilst filtering out as many downward movements as possible.

The system logic has historically been very effective in achieving this outcome in both normal rising markets and by catching the frequent upward “bounce” days in more volatile periods. It trades long only and relatively frequently but generally only holds positions for 1-2 days. For greater diversity and smoother returns trade this system with: (1) Abacus Raider NQ; and/or (2) Abacus Momentum.

Broker’s Suggested Capital: $28,000

Developer Fee per contract: $175.00 Monthly Subscription

Futures Trading Disclaimer:

Transactions in securities futures, commodity and index futures and options on futures carry a high degree of risk. The amount of initial margin is small relative to the value of the futures contract, meaning that transactions are heavily “leveraged”. A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited or will have to deposit: this may work against you as well as for you.

You may sustain a total loss of initial margin funds and any additional funds deposited with the clearing firm to maintain your position. If the market moves against your position or margin levels are increased, you may be called upon to pay substantial additional funds on short notice to maintain your position. If you fail to comply with a request for additional funds within the time prescribed, your position may be liquidated at a loss and you will be liable for any resulting deficit.

The metals markets delivered another jolt today, with silver swinging more than $90,000 per contract from high to low!

Gold

Gold followed with outsized ranges of its own, while equity index futures continue to show elevated intraday volatility.

Bitcoin/Crypto

Bitcoin, micro bitcoin, ether and the rest of the family witnessed a large decline as well and you can see a weekly chart of the Bitcoin futures below as we approach a meaningfull level.

!!Volatility!!

In an environment like this, opportunity is real—but so is the danger. Traders must prioritize the risk side of the equation, from position sizing to stop discipline to understanding how quickly leveraged products can move.

The good liquidity in the different MICRO products across the board makes them a great tool for reduced position size and/ or utilize for possible hedge as needed.

NO NFP (Non-Farm Payroll)

HEADS UP: No NFP report tomorrow which is usually the first Friday of the month due to the partial govt. shutdown – right now it is scheduled to come out Wednesday, Feb. 11th at 7:30 AM Central.

Day trading margins vary among clearing firms / FCM’s. If needed, contact your Cannon Trading Co. broker for specifics.

May Soybeans

May Soybeans stabilized and established a sideways range trade after completing the second downside PriceCount objective. Now, the chart has shifted its formation back to the topside and is activating upside counts where the first objective projects a run to the $11.32 area. It takes a trade above the December reactionary high to formally negate the remaining unmet downside counts.

Overnight moves in metals, crude oil, natural gas and other markets were quite extreme!

weekly market

We suspect that with the Iran situation, govt. shutdown, metals volatility – we will see more of that the rest of the week.

Risk management becomes just as important if not more than the actual directional bias of the market.

Weekly Market update:

Trump picks Kevin Warsh to lead the US Federal Reserve. The Warsh nomination triggered a jump in the dollar. Warsh was appointed by President George W. Bush as Fed governor from 2006-2011 and is considered a Wall Street veteran due to his time at Morgan Stanley.

Last year Warsh warned that U.S. fiscal policy was on a “dangerous trajectory” due to “irresponsible spending” and called for “regime change” at the Federal Reserve. Analysts have characterized Warsh as a practical pick who is less dovish than some of the other candidates, though he may be in favor of some near-term cuts.

Stock Indices

We had a volatile week, with a heavy flow of earnings. Both indices SPX & NASDAQ rallied for the first half of the week, then gave it all back during the back half of the week. The Cboe Volatility index (VIX) ramped up and nearly hit 20 on an intraday basis yesterday, following a post-earnings tech-fueled sell-off.

My takeaway from this week volatility and the fact that metals such as Gold and Silver were hit hard leads me to believe were at Risk Off mode until proven otherwise. I may be wrong as I always say there are two sides to a coin. Will see how all this develops, in the meantime traders will enjoy the volatility and these price swings as long as they use proper risk management. I will be looking at –

Earnings and economic reports.
Geopolitical issues
When will the market test the new FED chairman

S&P 500 companies reported earnings this week, and the results continued to convey a healthy economy. Out of the 165 S&P 500 companies that have reported results, 60% have beat on the top line while 79% have beat on the bottom line. Revenue growth has been +7.43% year-over-year while earnings-per-share (EPS) growth is tracking at 15.31%, though we are only one-third of the way through the earnings season. For reference, FactSet is currently forecasting 8.2% EPS growth in Q4 for the entire S&P 500.

Federal Reserve conducted one of its two-day Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) meetings this week, though it really didn’t contain any surprises. As expected, rates were left unchanged, and Chairman Jerome Powell conveyed that monetary policy remains near an appropriate level given the firm economy. Of course, their view is subject to change based on future data.

Trading in silver options surpassed NASDAQ options this week. On Friday Silver fell over 31% and Gold 11%. Crashes usually happen due to margin calls and forced selling. The 50 Day moving average is sitting at $74 and the 200 day moving average is sitting at $48.46. Platinum and palladium also ended the day down double digits on the day.

Kith Lerner downgraded Gold on Thursday stating reason was Gold traded 40% above its 200 day moving average that’s the most extended since the 80’s. Silver was up 60% for the month, and was more than 140% above its 200 day moving average. Silver broke out from $55.

Bitcoin is trading around 78 thousand.

FOMC Not Looking Good for Powell PLUS: Currencies, March – May Meal Spread, Levels, Reports; Your 5 Important Can’t-Miss Need-To-Knows for Trading Futures on January 28th, 2026

Chairman Powell is not the only one under pressure – FOMC Tomorrow

fomc

The US Dollar is under pressure due to fading interest rate support. Geopolitical risks rising.

Markets expect the federal reserve to continue, or at a minimum, be in a cut cycle. Tomorrow’s Interest Rate decision is expected to be a no cut event for this meeting (according to the CME Fed watch tool).\

FOMC

The language of the meeting and the presser to follow is EXPECTED to tell the tale of continued, future reductions…if the language doesn’t echo expectations? Watch out.

Currency – Dollar, Euro, Yen

By cutting rates, models tie currency value to interest-rate differentials pointing to a weaker U.S. Dollar versus the Euro and Yen.

Trump threats and investigations into Chairman Powell in the open, (rather than other Presidents quietly going after fed chairs in the past) have a yet to be quantified, confidence undermining the fed’s independence. This also tends to be negative for the U.S. Dollar.

U.S. Naval assets in the middle east mobilizing, leads to additional speculation, increasing investor caution as geopolitical risks raise the aura if an Iran strike. Domestic political tension and unrest do very little to calm the dollar bears.

From a technical perspective, the dollar has broken key support levels and testing support in the 96 area.

The On again off again tariff edicts create less stability in the safe haven dollar asset and in some circles, it has been reported the US Government may” enjoy” a weaker dollar to stimulate exports and assist the strengthening of the yen. Japan is an important geopolitical partner in their area of the globe.

March – May Meal Spread

The March – May Meal Spread satisfied its third upside PriceCount objective where we are seeing a clear reaction with the potential for a key reversal out of a new high. At this point, IF the chart can resume its rally with new sustained highs, we are left with the low percentage fourth count to aim for at a 3.60 inverse.

GDP and Trading: Both sides of the Story PLUS: Weekly Charts Video, Levels, Reports; Your 4 Important Can’t-Miss Need-To-Knows for Trading Futures on January 27th, 2026

GDP & Trading

Every story has two sides to it

By Eli Levy, Broker

At-a-Glance Levels

Instrument	S2	S1	Pivot	R1	R2
Gold (GC) — Feb(#GC)	4947.30	4998.50	5053.20	5104.20	5159.10

Every story has two sides to it.

Trading

The outcome is always the same, be cautious and if you don’t know what you’re doing, speak with a professional.

Let’s discuss the positive side of the market, the economy has been resilient, it’s been hit with shocks along the way since the beginning of the decade. We’ve had strong 2nd & 3rd quarter real GDP; estimates are that will continue in the 4th quarter. And as a result, earnings are resilient as well.

We’re seeing earnings led melt up in the market.

That’s the reason we’re hearing on the news ignore all the negative noise. I heard David Solomon say “I think we’re set up where we have the possibility for a stronger growth trajectory for the next few years. If the economy doesn’t have a recession, then PE can probably stay high”.

In addition, I also wrote in last week’s blog; Washington influences growth through three primary levers: fiscal policy (taxes and spending), monetary policy (interest rates), and credit policy (ease of borrowing). Historically, these functioned independently and were often uncoordinated:

Fiscal policy followed congressional cycles.
Monetary policy was the domain of an independent Fed.
Credit policy was often the result of disjointed regulatory decisions.

This year marks a shift. All three levers are currently dialed toward stimulus, reflecting a unified focus by the administration and Congress on accelerating growth ahead of the November midterms.

Triple Lever Stimulus PLUS: Weekly Copper, Levels, Reports; Your 4 Important Can’t-Miss Need-To-Knows for Trading Futures on January 22nd, 2026

Posted on January 21, 2026 by Cannon Operations

2026 is Underway – What’s Ahead?

By Gal Levy, Broker

At-a-Glance Levels

Instrument	S2	S1	Pivot	R1	R2
Gold (GC) — Feb(#GC)	4691.53	4759.97	4825.53	4893.97	4959.53

The “Triple Lever” Stimulus and Economic Resilience from:

www.galtrades.com

triple lever

Historically, new Federal Reserve chairs face an early “test” from the market. Data over the last century suggests that these transitions often coincide with a market correction averaging 15%. While past performance is never a guarantee of future results, it remains a significant historical trend for investors to consider.

The Coordination of Economic Levers

Washington influences growth through three primary levers: fiscal policy (taxes and spending), monetary policy (interest rates), and credit policy (ease of borrowing). Historically, these functioned independently and were often uncoordinated:

Fiscal policy followed congressional cycles.
Monetary policy was the domain of an independent Fed.
Credit policy was often the result of disjointed regulatory decisions.

This year marks a shift. All three levers are currently dialed toward stimulus, reflecting a unified focus by the administration and Congress on accelerating growth ahead of the November midterms.

Analysis from Jan Hatzius (Goldman Sachs)

On a recent Exchanges at Goldman Sachs podcast, Jan Hatzius noted several tailwinds for the U.S. economy:

Trade: Tariffs are no longer acting as a primary drag.
Consumer Support: Tax cuts and strong refunds are bolstering household spending.
Business Investment: Firms can now fully depreciate equipment and plants, providing significant “physical help” to the business sector.
Monetary Policy: Easing conditions are expected to support a steady growth pace.

Hatzius does not anticipate a meaningful tightening in the labor market. However, he cautioned that a 0.5% increase in the unemployment rate is a historically reliable (though not guaranteed) indicator of an impending recession.

Corporate Health and Sectoral Trends

While GDP remains strong, the National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA) profit report—which covers a broader range of companies than just those on the S&P 500—paints a more nuanced picture. Earnings growth there has been anemic:

H1 2025: Growth was in negative territory.
Q3 2025: Growth marginally turned positive.
2026 Outlook: Investors are waiting to see if this recovery gains momentum.

Currently, investors are rotating into cyclicals, industrials, and materials. While manufacturing has faced a “sectoral recession” (as evidenced by the ISM Manufacturing Index), the broader economy’s strength relies on a resilient labor market and robust consumer spending.

Key Indicators to Watch This Week

To gauge the trajectory of the economy and the impact of current policies, the following data points are critical:

Jobs Report: Looking beyond the headline numbers for the “fine print” on labor participation and wage growth.
Productivity Data: A key measure of long-term economic health.
Import/Export Prices: Serving as a proxy for the ongoing effects of tariff policies.
J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference: Often a catalyst for movement in the biotech and pharma sectors.

If the cost of capital continues to decrease, we can expect a significant boost in the housing and automotive sectors, further stabilizing the current expansion.

FUTURES:

1. Equity Futures: S&P 500 (ES) & Nasdaq 100 (NQ)

Fundamental: Investors are pricing in a “perfect growth scenario” driven by the coordination of fiscal and credit stimulus. However, the NIPA profit report shows that while public tech giants are thriving, the broader economy’s earnings are anemic, creating a divergence between the “headline” and the “foundation.”
Technical: The S&P 500 futures recently tested psychological resistance near 7,000.
Support: Immediate support sits at 6,885. A break below 6,730 would signal a “lower low,” potentially confirming the 15% historical “New Fed Chair” correction you mentioned.
Resistance: Bulls are pushing for a sustained break above 7,000 to extend the rally.

2. Interest Rate Futures: 10-Year Treasury Note (ZN)

Fundamental: The “Fed Test” is most visible here. The 10-year yield has jumped to 4.29% (the highest since August), reflecting market skepticism about the Fed’s ability to cut rates further while the White House pushes for aggressive stimulus.
Technical: Ultra 10-year futures are trading in a tight range near 114’085.
The Play: Traders are watching the 114.75 level; a failure to hold here suggests that bond markets expect “higher for longer” rates despite political pressure for easing.

3. Energy Futures: WTI Crude Oil (CL)

Fundamental: Oil is under pressure due to a projected supply surplus of nearly 4 million barrels per day by the IEA. While geopolitical risks (like the “Venezuela Shock”) provide temporary spikes, the fundamental “glut” is the dominant narrative.
Technical: Crude is currently in a bearish descending channel that began in late 2025.
Key Level: It is struggling to hold the $60.00 barrier. A confirmed close below $55.00 opens the door for a slide toward $49.00, which aligns with a 160-year historical trendline.

4. Metals Futures: Gold (GC)

Fundamental: Gold is the star performer of 2026 so far, acting as a hedge against “monetary instability” and concerns over Federal Reserve independence. Central banks (China, India, Turkey) continue to be aggressive buyers.
Technical: Gold recently smashed through the $4,550 level.
Outlook: It is currently “overbought” but lacks bearish divergence. Analysts are targeting the 161.8% Fibonacci extension at $4,712 for the remainder of Q1.

OUTLOOK:

Fundamental: overall I think the equity market is overbought in the short term. The SPX broke the 50 DMA and closed below the average. In past corrections the 50 DMA was a buying signal, it will be interesting to see how this plays out this time around.

Europe has been lowering short term rates for a while and the long term rates have gone up, will that scenario play out in the US markets as well?

Trading commodity futures, Stocks, ETF, Bonds, Options and any other financial derivative involves a substantial risk of loss.

March Corn

March Corn activated fresh downside PriceCount objectives on the sharp break and satisfied the first objective in the process. The chart is correcting but if we can resume the slide with new sustained lows, the second count would project a run to the $4.14 area which is consistent with a test of the August contract low.

FOMC Minutes Ahead!

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

In July 2025, a rare dual dissent occurred with two governors opposing a rate decision.

That kind of internal division is rare, and markets pay attention to it.

“The upward momentum in US Equities is likely to persist”

The Fed Minutes will be released @ 1:00pm CST.

“With the Fed holding steady, markets are likely to anticipate further rate cuts as economic conditions gradually weaken”
