Bullet Points, Highlights and Announcements

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

 

The most volatile event this week off the economic data calendar will almost certainly be the December CPI at 7:30 CST on Thursday. The core CPI was up 6.0 percent in November, coming down from its near-term peak of up 6.6 percent in September.

The total CPI was up 7.1 percent year-over-year in November and has been on the decline since the near-term peak of up 9.1 percent in June.. It is expected that the December report will see a little more easing in upward inflationary price pressures. https://www.bls.gov/cpi/

 

In the agriculture sector, this week highlights the WASDE USDA Crop Production, Supply/Demand and winter wheat seedings all following suit on Thursday at 11:00 am CST. Although North American crop land is experiencing winter weather it is summer time in South America and we will get meaningful numbers from Brazil and Argentina row crop production in this World Ag Supply and Demand Estimate. https://www.usda.gov/oce/commodity/wasde

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
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.

FOMC Minutes ahead of Friday NFP & Trading Levels for 01.05.2023

Bullet Points, Highlights and Announcements

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

 

“I don’t think anyone knows whether we’re going to have a recession or not, and if we do, whether it’s going to be a deep one or not,” Jerome H. Powell, the Fed chair, said during his FOMC news conference back in mid-December. “It’s not knowable.”

 

And with this in mind, it’s not far-fetched to expect the markets that have been most disrupted in recent years will to continue to ricochet in 2023.

 

Policymakers will continue to try to guess what lies ahead and they’ll continue to make predictions by looking at historical data, which has always been critical to those who make those predictions. Flying in the face of that approach is that over the last three years – roughly the duration of the pandemic – the past is proving anything but a reliable guide.

 

The economy rebounded from the hit it incurred at the onset of the coronavirus – faster and stronger than expected. Then, shortages of goods collided with strong demand and fueled a burst in inflation, one that has been both more extreme and more stubborn than anticipated.

 

Now, we have a year in which the Federal Reserve raised interest rates at the fastest pace since the 1980’s – in their efforts to slow growth and bring those rapid price increases back under control. The war in Ukraine has and will almost certainly continue to impact energy and grain prices. And with China’s Covid policy charting an unclear future for the world’s second largest economy, the future is still extraordinarily uncertain.

 

Will the Fed’s policies spur a recession? Or, will the economy gently cool down, taming high inflation in the process? How will commodity prices react? Commodities futures traders, Central bankers, economists, the current administration’s officials all will be trying to guess what might lie ahead for the economy in 2023.

We started out 2023 with a bit better volume across the board and some large moves across different markets.

Still not the volume we saw in the first week of December but as large traders return from holidays the volume will pick up.

We have a busy day tomorrow!

ISM PMI

JOLTS

FOMC Minutes.

If anyone has holidays “hangover” tomorrow should cure that out as I expect some larger moves and higher volatility.

Heads up traders. The holidays are near at hand and with them, holiday trading hours and holiday trading conditions. This year, Christmas falls on a Sunday and Monday the 26th is the designated holiday. So, when the markets close Friday afternoon – at their regular times – the markets will remain closed Sunday night all the way through to their Monday afternoon/evening openings. Ordinarily, trade volume across all asset classes declines into a holiday and this may be augmented due to the extended closures of the markets. It’s advised to keep an eye on your open positions and open orders coming into the Monday afternoon opening.

Here’s a futures spread idea from our friends at Moore Research ( FREE TRIAL ESPECIALLY for Cannon’s clients and blog readers!). This is a calendar spread in lean hogs. Moore Research specializes in seasonal research designed to anticipate future price movement rather than constantly react to an endless stream of news. Like the annual cycle of weather from warm to cold and back to warm, annual cycles in supply and demand can produce seasonal price movement. This calendar spread in lean hogs is an idea in that concept. Retail pork consumption peaks around July/August, at the tail end of the low point in slaughter. With cold storage inventories reduced by end of August and slaughter still low, the market bids October futures higher over April, when stocks near their peak. Contact your Cannon Broker for additional assistance.

Futures trading involves a substantial risk of loss and may not be suitable for all investors.

Trading advice reflects our good faith judgment at a specific time and is subject to change without notice. There is no guarantee that the advice we give will result in profitable trades. All trading decisions will be made by the account holder. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
SEASONAL TENDENCIES ARE A COMPOSITE OF SOME OF THE MORE CONSISTENT COMMODITY FUTURES SEASONALS THAT HAVE OCCURRED OVER THE PAST 15 YEARS. THERE ARE USUALLY UNDERLYING FUNDAMENTAL CIRCUMSTANCES THAT OCCUR ANNUALLY THAT TEND TO CAUSE THE FUTURES MARKETS TO REACT IN A SIMILAR DIRECTIONAL MANNER DURING A CERTAIN CALENDAR PERIOD OF THE YEAR. EVEN IF A SEASONAL TENDENCY OCCURS IN THE FUTURE, IT MAY NOT RESULT IN A PROFITABLE TRANSACTION AS FEES, AND THE TIMING OF THE ENTRY AND LIQUIDATION MAY IMPACT ON THE RESULTS. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT HAS IN THE PAST OR WILL IN THE FUTURE ACHIEVE PROFITS UTILIZING THESE STRATEGIES. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT PRICE PATTERNS WILL RECUR IN THE FUTURE. HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS HAVE MANY INHERENT LIMITATIONS, SOME OF WHICH ARE DESCRIBED BELOW. NO REPRESENTATION IS BEING MADE THAT ANY ACCOUNT WILL OR IS LIKELY TO ACHIEVE PROFITS OR LOSSES SIMILAR TO THOSE SHOWN. IN FACT, THERE ARE FREQUENTLY SHARP DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND THE ACTUAL RESULTS SUBSEQUENTLY ACHIEVED BY ANY PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM. ONE OF THE LIMITATIONS OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS IS THAT THEY ARE GENERALLY PREPARED WITH THE BENEFIT OF HINDSIGHT. IN ADDITION, HYPOTHETICAL TRADING DOES NOT INVOLVE FINANCIAL RISK, AND NO HYPOTHETICAL TRADING RECORD CAN COMPLETELY ACCOUNT FOR THE IMPACT OF FINANCIAL RISK IN ACTUAL TRADING. FOR EXAMPLE, THE ABILITY TO WITHSTAND LOSSES OR ADHERE TO A PARTICULAR TRADING PROGRAM IN SPITE OF TRADING LOSSES ARE MATERIAL POINTS WHICH CAN ALSO ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS. THERE ARE NUMEROUS OTHER FACTORS RELATED TO THE MARKETS IN GENERAL OR TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF ANY SPECIFIC TRADING PROGRAM WHICH CANNOT BE FULLY ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE PREPARATION OF HYPOTHETICAL PERFORMANCE RESULTS AND ALL OF WHICH CAN ADVERSELY AFFECT ACTUAL TRADING RESULTS.

FOMC Tomorrow! + Trading levels for 12.14.2022

Posted on by Ilan
Get Real Time updates and more on our private FB group!

ROLL to MARCH 2023 equity contracts as we are seeing more volume in the March Contracts than in the December ones the symbol for March is H so a micro e-mini S&P contract will be MESH23. Thursday we get Jobless claims, Retail sales and Industrial production.

 

Tomorrow we have FOMC

The following are my PERSONAL suggestions on trading during FOMC days:

 

·    Reduce trading size

·    Be extra picky = no trade is better than a bad trade

·    Choose entry points wisely. Look at longer time frame support and resistance for entry. Take the approach of entering at points where you normally would have placed protective stops. Example, trader x looking to go long the mini SP at 3925.00 with a stop at 3919.00, instead “stretch the price bands” due to volatility and place an entry order to buy at 3919.75 and place a stop a few points below in this hypothetical example ( consider current volatility along with support and resistance levels).

·    Expect the higher volatility during and right after the announcement

·    Expect to see some “vacuum” ( low volume, big zigzags) right before the number.

·    Consider using automated stops and limits attached to your entry order as the market can move very fast at times.

·    Keep in mind statement comes out at 1 Pm Central time, the news conference which dissects the language comes out 30 minutes later so the volatility window stretches out.

·    Know what the market was expecting, learn what came out and observe market reaction for clues

·    Be patient and be disciplined

·    If in doubt, stay out!!

CPI, FOMC & Rollover!

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

A Volatile week ahead.. CPI, FOMC, and Thursday, a number of market movers : Take Note: this is Rollover week for the Equities!

The Consumer Price Index release has been a boom or bust for many accounts and there are very few reasons to expect the November reading to create any less price movement in the Equities, Interest rate products, Currencies and Precious metals markets. 12/13, tomorrow morning at 7:30 CST sharp this report will be released! Year over Year CPI is expected to be tempered a little and come in @ 7.3% compared to 7.7% last month. Remember expectations are baked into current futures prices. FOMC meets this week and will announce it’s final fed funds policy move for 2022. The rate decision will be on 12/14 Wednesday at 1 P.M. CDT promptly and the news conference with Fed Chair Jerome Powell at 1:30 P.M. CDT to follow. ROLL to MARCH 2023 equity contracts as today is the first day we are seeing more volume in the March Contracts than in the December ones the symbol for March is H so a micro e-mini S&P contract will be MESH23. Thursday we get Jobless claims, Retail sales and Industrial production.

I recommend the sideline tomorrow morning at 5:30 CDT and at 11:30 CDT on Wednesday for the CPI and FOMC numbers. We/you can’t determine the strength of the initial move then the capitulation with any certainty at all during these events. As always , plan your trade and trade your plan

A Cannon broker will be able to assist, provide feedback and answer any questions.
