July-September Corn Spread

The July – Sep corn spread completed its first downside PriceCount objective to the 19.75 area and is consolidating for a moment. If the chart can resume its slide, the second count would project a possible slide to the 11 area.

 
487b9ea0 a10a 4e31 98c6 06876f8f3449

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.

Disclaimer: The risk of trading can be substantial and each investor and/or trader must consider whether this is a suitable investment. Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.

Futures Trading Disclaimer:

Transactions in securities futures, commodity and index futures and options on futures carry a high degree of risk. The amount of initial margin is small relative to the value of the futures contract, meaning that transactions are heavily “leveraged”.

A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited or will have to deposit: this may work against you as well as for you.

You may sustain a total loss of initial margin funds and any additional funds deposited with the clearing firm to maintain your position. If the market moves against your position or margin levels are increased, you may be called upon to pay substantial additional funds on short notice to maintain your position.

If you fail to comply with a request for additional funds within the time prescribed, your position may be liquidated at a loss and you will be liable for any resulting deficit.

FOMC Key Takeaways from CME, Dollar Index; 4 Important Need-To-Knows When Trading Futures Tomorrow

Posted on by Cannon Operations

9dc1e02e d5f7 4ff4 abf7 1df60775f196

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.

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.

With the micros Trading such good volume across the board a trader now has the option of trading one 3, 6 micros for example rather than trading one Single mini SP or mini Nasdaq.

This is especially true on volatility as high as we have seen the last few days and may help certain traders adapt to the volatility.

Day Trading Margins; June Mexican Peso

Day Trading Margins

In recent weeks on various days, market volatility and the commensurate risks of trading have soared. Daily price ranges for assets like the major stock index futures (S&P 500, Nasdaq 100, Dow Jones, Russell 2000), gold, crude oil, the U.S. Dollar Index & foreign currency futures have awed market participants.

For example, June gold futures closed on nine days this month with a >$100 per ounce price range, a $10,000 per contract move between its daily high and low trades. Even less-reported markets like cattle, cocoa and coffee have made major daily price moves, often in multiday streaks.

As a result, the major exchanges where these market trade, i.e., CME Group and ICE, have increased the day trading margin requirements for many of the futures contracts exhibiting these outsize moves. As well, clearing firms have followed with increases in the margins required to trade these futures contracts intraday. These are their day trading margins.

It is obviously important for traders to know the risks involved in trading and that includes knowing the day trading margin requirements for the futures contracts you’re trading. The exchanges’ margin requirements are applied to all futures contracts uniformly for trades held overnight or longer. 

On the other hand, day trading margins can differ among clearing firms. Also, some days clearing firms will set day trading margins differently at different times of the day. For example, day trading margins may be set higher during the nighttime hours of the day and reduce them during daytime hours.

Moreover, clearing firms determine day trading margins in different ways. Some set a “flat rate” for day trading margins, others calculate it as a percentage of the exchanges’ margin requirements.

Before you enter any futures position, plan your trade, including check know the margin requirement and day trading margin requirement of the futures you’re about to trade. Definitely get in touch with your Cannon broker for any assistance with these.

June Mexican Peso

The June Mexican Peso completed its first upside PriceCount objective and has turned sideways in a consolidation trade. From here, if the chart can sustain further strength into new highs, the second count would project a possible run to the 52.47 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.
