CPI Tomorrow – Trade June ES/NQ/YM and MICROS

by John Thorpe, Senior Broker

 

For all of you index traders, you may have noticed the shrinking Open Interest and Volume in the March contracts. It’s that time when volume shifts to the next quarterly expiration contract. June! the symbol is M.

March volume will be drying up quickly, don’t get stuck Friday morning with a March contract at the crack of dawn when the carousel stops. Start trading the June contract today!

According to Bloomberg, the S&P 500 has averaged an 0.8% move on CPI days over the past six months

Today, stocks are sideways, the dollar and gold are both up marginally as investors nervously await tomorrows 7:30 a.m. CDT Consumer Price Index release.

Last Month, on Feb 13th stocks slid sharply following the release and Treasury yields surged higher when a surprise CPI number, an Increase of 0.3% in January, crossed the newswires. Housing costs accounted for much of the price rise.

Overall prices are expected to rise 0.4% percent after increasing 0.3% percent in January. Annual rates, which in January were 3.1% percent overall and 3.9% percent for the core, are expected at 3.1% and 3.7% percent respectively. Per econoday.

PCE, Bitcoin and More

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

 

Heads up: 

Keep an eye out tomorrow (7:30 A.M., Central Time) for the release of the Fed’s preferred U.S. inflation gauge: the PCE Personal Consumption & Expenditures Price Index.  The consensus is that the January core PCE deflator will ease to 2.8% year-over-year from the 2.9% reading December.

General: 

By and large, the outlook for the global economy is improving.  In China, the business storm clouds are at least not bucketing down on the county’s overall fiscal house.  Report after economic report released in the U.S. continue to validate forecasts of a future “soft landing,” or better – plain ol’ get up and go.  To that end, A.I. euphoria dominates the conversation about what’s driving things.  Even the disappointment surrounding the Fed’s patience in deciding when interest rates should be lowered hasn’t disturbed the current frame of mind.  Keep an eye out for commodities sitting on major lows, such as corn and soybeans.  Even with forecasts for a large South American harvest and a stage set for a strong crop year in the U.S., global growth begets global demand and “bargain price” commodities may be ready to mount rallies.

Crypto: 

Bitcoin’s value has been on an impressive rise over the past month, and CME Bitcoin futures (“Full-size”-5-Bitcoin contract, 1/50-Micro Bitcoin contract) have lead the way, with the March Micro Bitcoin contract hitting $65,000 during morning trading today, well above the $57,000 range highs posted in Nov. 2021.  Open interest for the full-size contract came in at a nominal value of $7.77 billion, which is nearly a third of the market share for all Bitcoin market derivatives – more than Binance ($6.1 billion); more than Bybit ($4.1 billion).  These values surpassed past records set in both 2021 and 2017.

At present, the open interest figures for bitcoin futures have reached an all-time high of $24.44 billion as of Feb. 27, 2024.

 

09dcdc16 722c 4f1a 974c ec5ddf9b6452

 

Energy: 

Did you know the U.S. is currently producing around 13.3M barrels of crude per day, which is way more than any country on the globe, including Saudi Arabia at ±8.9M barrels per day (as of Dec. ’23). The output growth has helped tame gas prices and, perhaps more importantly, undermined the influence of OPEC and Russia following the invasion of Ukraine in 2022.

 

Producers also know that while times are good, demand can come down or eventually plateau, especially with the U.S. currently exporting more oil than nearly every member of OPEC. Remember the 2014-16 downturn, which hammered the industry and was largely driven by a supply glut.

 

Plan your trade and trade your plan

July Wheat
July wheat satisfied its third downside PriceCount objective and reacted with a key reversal with follow through to start today. At this point, IF the chart can resume its break with new sustained lows, we are left with only the low percentage fourth count to aim for in in the $4.62 area.
PriceCounts – Not about where we’ve been , but where we might be going next!

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. Learn more at www.qtchartoftheday.com

Treasury Auctions and Earnings

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

 

There’s no shortage of trade guidance / advice / market news available to provide futures traders with reasoning for a market move.  Charts showing a market’s direction – or lack thereof – technical indicators, even a trader’s gut reaction can qualify as a reason to enter a position.  For short-term traders, here are a few others that lately have moved the financial markets more than usual and are worthy of consideration:

 

Earnings reports: we’re heading into the tail end of earning season and while most of the major U.S. companies have released their quarterly reports, there are still some on the horizon that can be catalysts for jolts in the markets.

 

Treasury auctions: at regularly scheduled dates, the federal government auctions three types of securities: bills, notes, and Treasury inflation-protected securities (TIPS). The Treasury auctions an astonishing quantity of securities.  In calendar year 2003, it auctioned $3.42 trillion of securities: $2.78 trillion of bills, $616 billion of notes, and $26 billion of TIPS.  Lately, the results of some of these auctions have also jostled financial markets.

 

Finally, take a look at one of the indicators developed in-house by the Cannon Trading team, headed by our vice president, Ilan Levy-Mayer.

Red arrows are a sell, blue arrows are a buy . Red bars are “sell territory”, green bars are “buy territory” and black bars are neutral. The chart below will show you examples of some good trades as well as not so good.

March Meal
March soymeal resumed its slide where the chart is approaching its third downside PriceCount objective in the $340 area. It would be normal to get a reaction after completing the objective in the form of a near term consolidation or corrective trade, at least. The low percentage fourth count to $231 is not shown here for relevancy but the weekly chart shows significant downside potential remains on a longer term basis.

The model account rises or falls by the average single contract profit and loss achieved by clients trading actual money pursuant to the listed system’s trading signals on the appropriate dates (client fills), or if no actual client profit or loss available – by the hypothetical single contract profit and loss of trades generated by the system’s trading signals on that day in real time (real‐time) less slippage, or if no real time profit or loss available – by the hypothetical single contract profit and loss of trades generated by running the system logic backwards on back adjusted data. Please read full disclaimer HERE.

New Highs and New Lows…..

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

Traders, keep an eye out for market movement across asset classes for trading opportunities – including beyond those markets you’re typically focused on.  With dozens of commodities available for trading on the major U.S. futures exchanges, there’s potential out there.

 

Softs: 

 

Among the market sectors most traders follow closely, “Softs” is not high up the list.  Yet similarly to other well-known futures contracts such as stock indexes, interest rate futures, energies, metals and grains, the softs category includes some of the world benchmarks for their underlying commodity, such as cocoa, coffee, orange juice and sugar.

 

As well, we’re seeing recent price movement in some of these commodities that can be described as exceptional.  For example, it’s not hyperbole to say that the price of March cocoa has skyrocketed over the last month – from both sides of ±$4,200/ton coming into the new year to today’s $5,410/ton close.  That’s a ±$12,000 per contract move (contract size: 10 metric tons).  This is an all-time high for the contract.

Monthly Cocoa Chart for your review below!

 

After trading up to its own all-time highs above $4.00/lb. around mid-Nov., March orange juice sliced (pun intended) ±25% of its contract value, down below $3.00/lb. by mid-Jan with a $2.9065 close on Jan. 16.  This is a ±$15,000 move.  Yet this sell-off was brief as the contract then surged ±$1.00 back to today’s 10-cent up limit close of $3.9095, another ±$15,000 per contract move – in 16 trading days.

 

Indexes: 

 

Telling of all-time-highs would be lacking today without mentioning the E-mini S&P 500 and E-mini Nasdaq.  As of this typing the March E-mini S&P 500 futures contract is trading up ±40 points, nearly 10 points above Monday’s intraday high and ±15 points above the 5000 threshold.  As well, the March E-mini NASDAQ has made a ±200-point move up to its own all-time highs at ±17,850.  For the E-mini S&P 500, this marks a ±$40,000 per contract move since its last recent low back on Oct. 27.

 

Energy: 

 

In a comparison of contrasts, March natural gas settled below $2.00 today to set a new life-of-contract low and furthering a ±$4,000 per contract move in less than a month – with scarcely a retort by bulls.

The Week Ahead: Earnings, Economic data, and quiet Federal Reserve Board voting Members.

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

We have entered the FRB blackout period which always begins 8 days prior to the FOMC meeting which is currently scheduled for Jan 30-31

Tuesday After the close the biggest earnings number will be from Netflix NFLX. The forecast is for 8.8 Billion in revenue while adding 9million or more subscribers in the final quarter of 2023. Watch for surprises here as it’s clear that NFLX is the undisputed king of streaming services with a backdrop of consumers consolidating their preferences.

Wednesday after the close Look for TSLA Tesla stock to announce Q4 23 numbers with earnings forecast for .74 cents per share with Rev @ 25.6 bil. Will the current EV price war challenge the analysts estimates?

 

Thursday is kicked off with the ECB Rate decision @ 7:15 a m CST, expectations are to hold rates steady for the lending rates in the Eurozone. 15 minutes later @ 7:30 a.m. CST a slew of Data hits the wires..  Durable goods, GDP, Jobless claims followed by New Home Sales @ 9 a.m. CST

And ends with Intel INTC Earnings after the close. Expectations are 49 cents per share with 15.2 billion in revenue.

Friday market action will largely be reflective of the absorption the week of data and the evening of traders positions before the weekend.

 

Make it a solid week and always, “plan the trade and trade the plan”
