Hello Traders,

Hello Traders,

Below is an intra-day update I receive from TradeTheNews.com 

It summarize the “main winds that are blowing the market right now”. Below that you will see my weekly chart of the mini Russell with some levels to watch. Today’s closed below 1244 may trigger longer term correction in my opinion.

US equity losses have been relatively subdued this morning, although the VIX volatility index has crept up to its highest level in more than 3.5 months. At their worst levels, the DAX and the CAC were down more than 4% a piece, but they are well off their lows heading into the close of European trading. The 10-year bund yield is down 12.8 bps to trade around 0.793%, while the 10-year yield is down more than 10 bps to trade 2.369%. Hanging over markets is the gloomy prospect of the Shanghai Composite down 3.3% today, putting it officially in bear market territory, despite the PBoC action this weekend. As of writing, the DJIA and S&P500 are both down more than 1%, while the Nasdaq is off 1.23%.

With Greece’s solvency hanging in the balance, the divide between Greece and its creditors is only worsening. The EU Commission’s Juncker accused Greece of unilaterally breaking off negotiations, even as Greek officials accused him of lying about Athens’s negotiating positions. Tsipras said he would campaign for a no vote in the referendum, further alienating his European partners. It is looking highly doubtful that the IMF payment due tomorrow will be made, however the ECB’s Nowotny stated that Greece missing the payment does not necessarily mean default. Reports suggest that neither the IMF nor the EU will make any move to reach a last-minute deal until the referendum takes place on July 5th. After trading as low as 1.0950 yesterday, EUR/USD has steadily climbed back to 1.1177 today.

Recall that Puerto Rico is also having a debt crisis moment of its own. Over the weekend, Puerto Rico Governor Padilla, the country can no longer make payments on its $73 billion in debt. Prices of highly rated municipal bonds are sharply higher this morning, as yields on some maturities fell by as much as six basis points as uncertainty over both Puerto Rico and Greece fueled a flight-to-safety trade.

Hello Traders,

Looking at 10 and 30-Year Treasury Bonds for Clues on What’s to Come

Back in April I wrote this piece:

Wondering if bonds hit double top, well hindsight is 20/20 and it seems I was definitely right about this one. The question now is where is this volatile market heading next?

Before I jump in to take a look at the charts, one quick side note: Bonds have been one of my favorite day trading markets these past six months…so if you are looking for a different market to add to your day trading mix, I recommend observing the 30-year bonds.

My assumption as of late is that by now the bonds have already discounted 1-2 rate hikes by the end of the year, hence the big drop we noticed in the last few months. My speculation is that the Fed will raise 0.25 at best by year’s end.

Hello Traders,

Wild day in the markets with FOMC anticipation and after.

I noticed wild moves across almost all markets. Bonds, stocks, metals, energies, currencies and even the grains had a little spike…..

My personal opinion is that experienced, disciplined traders can do well on these crazy volatile days and that newcomers should stay out but who knows…maybe the experience, disciplined traders choose to stay out right before and right after the report….would be a good survey question.

The day post FOMC is usually when one can tell the real direction of the markets, as larger institutions and traders digest the news and position themselves accordingly. I think we may see another volatile day tomorrow, so adjust accordingly.

Hello Traders,

Grain Complex Post USDA Report

USDA supply/demand report came out yesterday (June 10th) and I was wondering if the old saying, “Voice from the tomb” would live up to its predictions again…..

If you are not familiar with this one, let me give you an abbreviated version:

An old grain trader was on his deathbed. He calls his family and let them know that the most valuable inheritance is in this strange box. After he passes away, the family rushes to the box wondering if there are gold coins or jewelry…instead, they found an old piece of paper that had some date in there. One of the dates was “buy wheat, July 1st, sell wheat September 10th.” No one knows if the family members made a fortune or lost money following this advice, but it is there to point out some seasonality in the grain complex.

Well, we are getting closer to this date, and I have noticed a bit of a bottom formation, perhaps a start of a leg up or perhaps just short covering in the grain complex. Before the report, my inclination was that we are still range bound, and that both markets and the complex as a whole need to break resistance above (marked on the charts).

Daily charts of both wheat and soybeans future contracts below for your review.

Hello Traders,

Front month for stock indices, Treasuries and currencies is now SEPTEMBER!

I shared this article below in the past, worth reading. Economic events will and do move markets.

One needs to know what reports are coming out, possible effect on the markets, what is the forecast and more. Some traders prefer to be OUT of the market on certain economic reports. Either way it is an important aspect of trading, even more so of day-trading.

A great source is www.TradeTheNews.com
