Bullet Points, Highlights, Announcements

 

Heads up: 

 

Keep an eye out for Friday (7:30 A.M., Central Time) for the release of the monthly Non-farm Payrolls report by the Labor Department.  It’s widely considered to be one of the most important and influential measures of the U.S. economy.

 

To review, the Labor Dept.’s Bureau of Labor Statistics surveys about 141,000 businesses and government agencies, representing approximately 486,000 individual work sites.  The report excludes farm workers, private household employees, domestic household workers and non-profit organization employees.  The report also includes other detailed industry data including the overall unemployment rate as a percentage of the total labor force that is unemployed but actively seeking work, wages, wage growth and average workday hours.

 

General:  

 

It was truly an historical day yesterday.  Both the decades-old 100-oz gold futures contract and the seven-year-old Bitcoin futures contracts traded up to all-time highs.  Apart from any of the stock index futures contracts, rarely do we see simultaneous all-time highs for futures contracts.  April gold touched $2,150.50 per ounce (and is trading at new all-time highs again today), while the March Bitcoin futures hit 70,195 – before a significant ±10,000-point sell-off in a span of four hours around mid-session.

 

But wait, there’s more!  May cocoa traded up to its own all-time high yesterday as well, hitting $6,660/metric ton intra-day.  This is a ±$26,000 move for cocoa in a little more than two months, having closed at $4,048 on Jan. 8.

 

Three consecutive all-time highs in futures: gold, Bitcoin and cocoa.  Oh my!

 

Energy:  

 

Managing Director and Global Head of Commodity Strategy at Royal Bank of Canada’s Capital Markets Division.  That’s quite a title and it’s how Helima Croft’s business card reads.  She’s well regarded as a specialist in geopolitics and energy and along with her team of commodity strategists who cover energy and metals are seeing signs of the higher supply/lower demand imbalance in crude oil tipping in the other direction.  This is a macro prediction and not forecasting any sort of breakneck move to $100/barrel and it rests in part on the view that the U.S. will be unable to replicate its “blockbuster” output of 2023.  It also anticipates OPEC+ will look to press on with its aggressive production cuts having already committed to extending its 2.2 million barrel-a-day production cut through June.  The projection also sees the conflict in the Middle East as instilling a risk premium in energy prices that isn’t going away soon and may increase if the region sees a spread of hostilities.

Short-Term Options in Commodities: Potential Benefits and Applications Part 2

By Adila McHich CMEGroup.com

Short-terms options are flexible tools for tactical trading strategies to mitigate specific event risks or make a directional bet on price movement in the short term. The trading volume of these types of options in commodities has grown tremendously in recent years because they appeal to different types of traders regardless of their time horizon or thesis. This article, which is Part 2 of a two-part series explains the macro and idiosyncratic (commodity-specific) market events and their applications using short-term options in commodities.

Commodity prices are determined based on a confluence of macro and idiosyncratic factors. As such, commodity price fluctuations are largely driven by fundamental (supply/demand) and cyclical factors (macro) tied to the business cycle and the economic activity, in addition to other exogenous market events such as geopolitical risk and weather events. These various factors can sometimes morph into a jump risk (tail risk), especially if the market event is significant enough and unanticipated. The short duration of these options offers more flexibility to target a specific market event.

Examples of economic data releases:

  • ISM manufacturing index
  • Central bank announcements
  • GDP growth
  • Unemployment rate
  • Consumer Price Index, Producer Price Index
  • Consumer confidence, etc.

Example 1: Using Crude Oil Weekly options for directional trade on the ISM

A trader expects oil prices to rise in response to the release of the ISM Manufacturing index which measures the activity of the manufacturing sector. This leading indicator is important and closely watched by the market because it is used as a proxy for the overall state of the U.S. economy. A level of 50 and above reflects economic expansion while below 50 signals a contraction. The ISM tends to move in tandem with oil prices in the long run as the result of their linkage from the demand side. Chart 1 depicts the intertwined relationship between ISM index and price changes of oil. The YoY oil prices changes are used to remove the cyclicality variations. An increase in ISM indicates a rise in manufacturing activity that requires more oil as input which would consequently lead to an increase in oil demand and prices. Additionally, this long-term linkage gives insight into the underlying momentum of the economy and oil markets and their projected trajectories. Though, this relationship can sometimes be decoupled in the short term due to other factors that affect oil prices such supply shocks (OPEC meeting, geopolitical event etc.)

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.

Hot market of the week is provided by QT Market Center, A Swiss army knife charting package that’s not just for Hedgers, Cooperatives and Farmers alike but also for Spread traders, Swing traders and shorter time frame application for intraday traders with a unique proprietary indicator that can be applied to your specific trading needs.
March Copper
March copper completed its first upside PriceCount objective and has settled into a range bound trade. IF the chart can resume its rally with new sustained highs, it would project a possible run to the second count in the 4.03 area, consistent with a challenge of the August high.
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

Big NFP / unemployment report tomorrow an hour before the stock market opens.

This is a market moving report and indices, bonds, currencies, metals and other markets will see some large swings.

I personally like to be out before the report, wait a few minutes for the zig zag to relax and then look to re-enter.

On different note:

Upgrades to the event contract suite offer more opportunities for you to trade your market views.

 

The size of an event contract is increasing to $100

Updated sizes align more closely to the probability of a trade’s success. For example, if the price of a position is $65 there’s approximately 65% probability that this event will occur.

 

Introducing longer-dated expiries

Add quarter- and year-end event contracts on E-mini S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 futures to your portfolio. With the addition of more expiries, place your long-term prediction on the Equity Index futures markets.

 

 

What are event contracts?

 

With event contracts, you can express your views on whether the markets will close above a certain price by choosing a “yes” or a “no” prediction. These contracts offer an intuitive, limited-risk way to trade 11 of the world’s most important futures markets.

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”

    • Hot Market of the Week – March Feeder Cattle

    Hot market of the week is provided by QT Market Center, A Swiss army knife charting package that’s not just for Hedgers, Cooperatives and Farmers alike but also for Spread traders, Swing traders and shorter time frame application for intraday traders with a unique proprietary indicator that can be applied to your specific trading needs.
    March Feeder Cattle
    March feeder cattle stabilized their break last month after satisfying the fourth downside PriceCount objective. On the correction higher, the chart activated upside counts with the first objective projecting a run to the 238.53 area.
    PriceCounts – Not about where we’ve been , but where we might be going next!
24cf205d 532e 46d6 8462 0851412cf044
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.

    February Natural Gas
    February natural gas accelerated off its December low to complete its third upside PriceCount objective before settling back with a corrective trade. Now, the chart is threatening to resume its rally where new sustained highs would project a possible run to the low percentage fourth upside count to the 4.44 area.
