Category: Indices

A plural of indexes, indices is a term often used in the markets. There are different indexes or indices in the markets and these don’t always move up or down in coordination. Indexed moving in tandem would create redundancy meaning that we don’t need more than one of them.

The Dow and the S&P500 are two extremely noteworthy as well as popular indices. While a change in the Dow indicated that the expectations of the investors have changed with regard to the risks and earnings of large companies, the S&P500 features 500 of the most highly traded stocks in the U.S.

Each index is different from another and each one behaves differently. You won’t find any one index that has continued to look the same over the years. Moreover, every index depicts a different thing. You can gain a deeper understanding into the world of indices.

We at Cannon Trading help you by providing the latest information on indices and their market performance. You can read it all here under one archive tagged as Indices. Read and be informed.

  • Trading Resource of the Week – : Rectangle Trading Pattern

By Joe Easton, Senior Broker
Formation:
  •    This pattern is defined as price coming into a tight range between support and resistance
  •    This pattern is a continuation pattern. If the trend was up it will continue up and down it will continue down
  • Typically, volume is lower through this period of consolidation.

In the examples above the range is creating a rectangle pattern in an uptrend. Ideally this pattern breaks higher without breaking lower support. If lower support is broken this pattern would no longer be a rectangle.
How to Trade:
The ideal entry is toward the bottom of the rectangle support. If entered on this line your stop should be below support. Price should bounce off support 2 to 3 times to be confident support is present.
The more conservative entry would be when the resistance in the rectangle is broken. This can happen very quickly and needs to be timed more accurately. The lower support line then becomes your stop. You could also make the resistance line become your stop.
When price breaks out you can measure the width of rectangle and project the price to move from the breakout that same distance at a minimum.
Summary:
Rectangles patterns exist in low volume consolidation in both uptrends and downtrends. Price corrects in two ways, time and price. This would classify more as a time correction considering price stays relatively consistent. Once price closes above the resistance you can expect the price to not retrace back into the rectangle. If there is a false breakout, the continuation is less likely to occur. Generally, if you are able to spot a rectangle you can expect the price trend to continue.
Important: Trading commodity futures and options involves a substantial risk of loss.

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.

Bullet Points, Highlights, Announcements

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

 

General: it’s that time of the month again: we’re a couple of days from when the Labor Dept. releases its monthly Non-farm payrolls report. It’s widely considered to be one of the most important and influential measures of the U.S. economy and the report is released at 7:30 A.M., Central Time on the first Friday of the month.

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.

 

Energy: West Texas crude oil futures (basis Aug.) is trading up ±$2.50/barrel / ±3% today near $72/barrel on the heels of joint Saudi Arabia / Russia announcements of supply cuts. The former announced it would extend its voluntary output cut of 1 million barrels per day out to August. Russia committed to lowering its August output and export levels by 500,000 barrels per day. Typically, the Fourth of July holiday marks the peak of the U.S. travel season.

General (agriculture): 

 

The U.S. is well into summertime and with it agricultural futures, particularly field crops like corn, wheat and soybeans have gained in stature as already-planted crops are growing and developing toward their fall harvest.  At the same time, corn, wheat and soybean futures contracts have seen seasonal and meaningful increases in trade volume.  Along side this development, this year has seen noteworthy volatility in price movement.  To provide some perspective on this year’s U.S. crop season is the futures exchange where these agricultural products’ futures contracts are traded: CME Group.  While its exchanges make up the world’s largest operator of financial derivatives, it’s also an important source of futures research and education, with a collection of courses, lessons and webinars on trading, as well as a wealth of academic resources.  For example, take a look at their report on corn released this week entitled, “Vol is High by the Fourth of July.”  Get an understanding of how this crop year compares to other recent ones and what could be in store for prices.

 

More general (energy) 

 

Keep an eye on the third-smallest country on the continent and the second-least populated there.  It’s also one of the least densely populated countries on Earth (±10 people/mi²) with over 40% of its population living below the country’s poverty line.  Because ever since the discovery of a collection of astonishing and promising oil finds in recent years – estimated at over 11 billion barrels of oil reserves off its coast – Guyana in South America has become an enlivened player on the world stage.  With infrastructure investment dollars and know-how coming in from major energy players like Exxon Mobile, a formal invitation to join OPEC (so far, rebuffed), Guyana with a population of barely 800,000, has become the world’s fastest growing economy and is now ranked as having the fourth-highest GDP per capita in the Americas after the United States, Canada, and The Bahamas.

 

What level of attention have energy futures paid to the introduction of the largest addition to global oil reserves in the last 50 years?  The early answer is very little, but worthy of monitoring.  At ±360,000 barrels per day currently, Guyana barely moves the needle alongside the current ±90 million barrel-per day production globally.  Still, oil demand is expected to decline in the coming decades and OPEC’s influence over oil prices has regressed in recent years as non-OPEC countries like the U.S. Brazil, Guyana and Egypt have collectively impacted the global supply/demand dynamic.  This puts Guyana in a position to be an influential player as it works to increase production – with a planned 1 million barrels per day output by 2028.

Fed Pause Rates, ECB Tomorrow + Levels for June 15th

Don’t take anything for granted:

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

It’s a big week for financial markets and their related futures contracts with interest rate decisions from three major central banks coming one after another: the U.S. Federal Reserve (which just decided not to raise rates for the first time in eleven months), the European Central Bank and the Central Bank of Japan.

 

The Bank of Canada hiked rates last Wednesday to a 22-year high of 4.75%, having held rates steady since January.  The day prior, Australia’s central bank raised rates by a quarter point to an 11-year high and warned of further tightening ahead.

 

One of the take-aways from last week’s surprise rate increases in Canada and Australia and today’s first-time respite by the Fed.: don’t take anything for granted.

 

Economies around the world are experiencing disparate inflation trajectories compared to others – including the U.S. – and their central bank’s efforts to getting inflation down have started to deviate somewhat.  Financial and other futures markets, ever reacting to uncertainty – often overreacting – may become even more challenging arenas within which to trade.

 

This is pretty clear set-up to submit again the usefulness of trading options – either in combination with your futures trading or exclusive of it.  Trading options offers a near limitless range of risk/reward scenarios to take on, from that on par with straight futures trading to substantially less to absolutely limited.  And because options are valued in part by their ever-decaying lifespans, they offer another component to a trade’s outcome: time value.

 

If you think options aren’t for you, consider one sector’s growth in this area in the last recent years: equity index options.  Options in the E-mini S&P 500 and E-mini Nasdaq continue to see strong growth in participation and volume as market participants are increasingly turning to the them as part of their trading – and talk to your broker at Cannon Trading Co. for more information.

See below the ADV ( avg. daily volume) for NQ and ES

E-mini S&P 500 Options Annual ADV

E-mini Nasdaq-100 Options Annual ADV

Rollover is here for stock indices. i.e., the E-mini and Micro S&P, Nasdaq, Dow Jones and Russell 2000.

  Volume in the June contracts will begin to drop off until their expiration next Friday, June 16th (8:30 A.M., Central Time). At that point, trading in these contracts halts. Stock index futures are CASH SETTLED contracts. If you hold any June futures contracts through 8:30 A.M., Central Time on Friday, June 16th, they will be offset with the cash settlement price, as set by the exchange.
