FOMC Takeaways

FOMC Key Takeaways with Craig of CME Group

The awaited Fed Interest Rate decision was released yesterday, and as expected, the Fed kept the interest rates unchanged while signaling that rate cuts could be on the horizon for the remainder of the year.

With this announcement, the equity indices initially broke to the downside and then were able to recover at the end of the session. Gold, Silver, and Crude Oil all traded lower today after seeing strong gains to start the week.

FOMC

The CME Fed Watch Tool has been moving today with the interest rate decision along with the volatility in different markets, and seeing the changes over time can be beneficial.

This morning at 9:00 A.M. Central Time, the tool was pricing in a pause for the June meeting with a 69% probability, and that figure went up to 76% as of 3:00 Central Time after hearing remarks from Powell.

In a similar way, the probability for a rate cut at the July meeting remained the same near 56%. What this tells traders is that the market is pricing in a higher chance of the first interest rate cut coming at the July meeting instead of the previous expectation of the June meeting.

June Dollar Index

The June Dollar Index stabilized its inside last month after it satisfied its fourth downside PriceCount objective. Now, the chart has activated upside counts and is taking aim at the first objective to the 101.22 area.

73ecc020 47a6 45ae 93fd 242aa08058fa

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.

Post FOMC Life, July Bean Oil, Metals, Energies

Post FOMC

Post FOMC

by Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

General:

The Federal Reserve on Wednesday announced that it will leave its benchmark interest rate unchanged as policymakers continue to monitor inflation and the labor market amid elevated levels of economic uncertainty.

“Uncertainty about the economic outlook has increased further,” the Fed indicated in its FOMC Statement. “The Committee is attentive to the risks to both sides of its dual mandate and judges that the risks of higher unemployment and higher inflation have risen.”

The central bank’s decision leaves the benchmark federal funds rate at a range of 4.25% to 4.5%.

It comes after the Fed left rates at that level at its two previous meetings in January and March, which followed three consecutive rate cuts at its preceding meetings – which involved a 50-basis-point cut in September and a pair of 25-basis-point reductions in November and December.

Metals:  

June gold futures ended April closing nine days with a >$100 per ounce price range, a $10,000 per contract move between its daily high and low trades. Five trading days into May and we’ve already seen two more, with a couple of >$80 ranges thrown in.

Energies:

June crude oil traded intraday Monday – on the Sunday opening – to $55.30/barrel and closed at the lowest in four years ($57.13 a barrel back in February 2021), after OPEC+ agreed to hike production for a second month. The eight producers in the group, led by Saudi Arabia, agreed on Saturday to increase output by another 411,000 barrels per day in June. The decision comes one month after OPEC+ surprised the market by agreeing to boost production in May by the same amount.

July Bean Oil

July bean oil broke out into a new high last month but was unable to sustain the move and now the chart has activated downside PriceCounts on the correction lower. The first count projects a possible slide to the 46.44 area.

June Live Cattle

June live cattle extended its rally into a new contract high. This has us approaching the third upside PriceCount objective to the 215.67 area. Upon satisfying the count it would be normal for the chart to react with a near term consolidation or corrective trade, at least. the low percentage fourth count to 262 (not shown here for presentation purposes) is not seen as a realistic target for this contract.

July Corn

July corn activated downside PriceCount objectives off the April rally peak. The break is satisfying the second downside count to the $4.62 area where it would be normal to get a near term reaction from this level in the form of a consolidation or corrective trade. IF the chart can sustain further weakness, the third count to $4.50 is consistent with a test of the March low.

July Oats

July oats have activated upside PriceCount objectives off the April low. The first count projects a potential run to the 3.66 area.

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.

0DTE: 5 Reasons Traders Are Embracing 0DTE Options

9dc1e02e d5f7 4ff4 abf7 1df60775f196

Get to know zero days to expiration options (0DTE)

0dte
0dte
With recent volatility we have heard a lot of the following:

“The market moves so fast and so wild I am getting stopped out left and right….”

0DTE

Maybe it’s time to consider 0DTE options? Same day options?

A 0DTE is an option that no longer trades after the conclusion of the current trading day.

When an option reaches this stage, there’s not much more time left to act on the right to buy or sell the underlying asset.  The window is small, and the move that the trader is anticipating needs to happen fast.

For some traders, the last day before expiry is the best moment to invest in options. Traders like 0DTE options because they allow an opportunity to capitalize on positions quickly and tie up capital for short periods.

Entering and exiting trades on the same day also eliminates the risk of the price moving overnight while the trader is asleep and not in front of the computer screen.

Growth in zero day to expiration options (0DTE) has been impressive with year-to-date (2024) 0DTE E-mini options’ average daily volume up 25% compared to the year prior.

Perhaps more importantly, volumes across all expirations continue to grow dramatically in addition to 0DTE expirations.

June Natural Gas

June natural gas resumed its break into new lows. This has the chart taking aim at its second downside PriceCount objective near 3.00. It would be normal to see a near term reaction from this level in the form of a consolidation or corrective trade.
