PPI Tomorrow and the Last 2 Trading Days of the Week Review

Last Two Trading Days of the Week:

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

 

General:

 

Despite the fireworks frequently on display from stock index futures immediately preceding the release of the Consumer Price Index report over the last several months, an interesting result followed. In each of the last five releases, the S&P 500 closed within 0.5% of the prior day’s settlement. This is in stark contrast to some of the reports last year, notably November’s CPI release that sent the Nasdaq up ±7%.

 

On the heels of today’s CPI release indexes are looking to finish up with a similar outcome. This morning’s report showed consumer prices up 4.9% from last year, yet it marked the tenth consecutive month the inflation gauge slowed – now down from its peak of 9.1% last June, but still well north of the Federal Reserve’s 2% target.

 

Next up tomorrow at 7:30 A.M., Central Time, the Bureau of Labor Statistics releases its latest reading on prices at the wholesale level: its Producer Price Index.

 

Markets:

 

Metals: After piercing last month’s highs and touching $2,085 / ounce intraday last Thursday, June gold has consolidated somewhat, not too scared or encouraged by today’s inflation report – and not ready to anticipate the Fed.’s next move.

 

July copper sold off ±5 cents today and for the fifth time in the last ten trading sessions has tested 5-month lows near $3.82 / pound. This on the heels of languid economic reading from the world’s largest commodities consumer: China.

 

Energies: The negative sentiment from China dragged crude oil below its 5-6-month intraday low of March 20th at $64.58 per barrel, trading intraday last Thursday to $63.64 per barrel, a ±$20-per-barrel / $20,000 per contract skid from its mid-April ascendance to ±$83 per barrel. Given crude oil’s seemingly continual fixation with the events of the day – whatever they are – volatility remains – and the market has bounced ±$10 per barrel in barely four trading sessions.

 

Plan your trade and trade your plan.

Bullet Points, Highlights, Announcements:

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

General: Albeit a lurching progression, as it’s coming out of the first quarter, China’s Post-Covid recovery looks to be gaining traction – arguably more so than here in the U.S. – if their trade balance numbers are a good yardstick. Data released early last week showed a meaningfully-above-consensus $88.2 billion surplus, including a year-over-year 14.8% increase in exports (its first YOY gain in six months) and a stout 28% monthly increase in crude oil imports (12.3 million barrels per day) over February. Iron ore and coal imports also showed considerable month-over month gains. We keep an eye on this country’s economic health because it accounts for ±18% – almost a fifth of the world’s GDP, second to the U.S. at ±25%. The next 10 countries combined, including Japan, Germany, the U.K., India, Canada and South Korea account for another ±30%.

With their economies in competition with each other, further recovery for China against the U.S.’s current grind to control inflation and stave off a recession – even the slightest of one – puts pressure on the dollar, now ±6 months in decline from its 20-year highs. This bodes well for physical commodities such as copper, crude oil grains and soy complex markets. Keep an eye on the world economic picture – particularly China’s journey to recovery – to provide guidance for your trades.

Weekly Newsletter: Good Friday Schedule + Levels for April 3rd

Posted on by Ilan

Cannon Futures Weekly Newsletter Issue # 1140

 

Join our private Facebook group for additional insight into trading and the futures markets!

In this issue:

  • Important Notices – Good Friday Schedule along with NFP report
  • Trading Resource of the Week – Free Webinar Trading Terminal for Professional Traders & Hedgers
  • Hot Market of the Week – May Silver
  • Broker’s Trading System of the Week – VS beta45 intraday NQ1 E-mini Nasdaq
  • Trading Levels for Next Week
  • Trading Reports for Next Week

 

  • Important Notices – Good Friday Schedule and NFP Report

Heads up traders. This coming Friday, April 7th will be somewhat of an irregularity. It is a trading holiday (Good Friday) and simultaneously the first Friday of the month, when the Labor Department will release its monthly Non-farm payrolls report.
While the major CME Group futures markets with 4:00 P.M. Central Time closings will finish the week’s trading at that regular time on Thursday, June 5th, at the regular 6:00 P.M. start of trading, energy, grains and metals will remain closed. Only interest rate, equities, currencies and cryptocurrencies will open and will close early Friday morning as follows:
Interest rate: 10:15 A.M. Central Time
Equities: 8:15 A.M.
Currencies: 10:15 A.M.
Cryptocurrencies: 10:15 A.M.
This will give some of the most actively traded and report-sensitive instruments only a limited amount of time to react to what is widely considered to be one of the most important and influential measures of the U.S. economy – on a day that will likely see reduced volume.

May silver has rallied back for a challenge of the winter highs. At this point breakout into new sustained highs would project a run to the third PriceCount objective of the 26.13 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. Learn more at www.qtchartoftheday.com

What Traders need to Know to Finish the Trading Week:

By Mark O’Brien, Senior broker

 

Crude oil futures prices plunged more than $5.50 a barrel intraday today – touching a low of $65.65 (basis April) – to their lowest in more than a year as news that Credit Suisse’s biggest shareholder, Saudi National Bank, said it would not make further investments in the firm, sending the Swiss lender’s stock plunging ±27% and adding to the already extreme turmoil in the banking sector from the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank last week here in the U.S.

In turn, gold futures prices climbed over 1% intraday with the April contract topping $1,942.50 per ounce intraday, it’s highest price since early February. Conversely, Copper futures lost ±11 cents / pound – over 4% intraday – with the May futures contract touching $3.84 / lb. matching prices from early January and extending a near month-long ±40-cent / $10,000 decline.

Not surprisingly, with the banking sector hitting rough seas this last week, treasuries have once again assumed their safe-haven status with the 30-yr. T-bond futures contract soaring ±10 full basis points ±$10,000 over the last nine trading days to March 3 and sending the benchmark 10-year Treasury note yield tumbling to near 3.5%

Significant volatility looks to be the order of the day for the near term across the major financial futures sectors – stock indexes, interest rates, currencies – as well as metals and energies. Up next, the FOMC meeting this coming Tuesday/Wednesday.

Be Careful out there, Plan your trade and trade your plan!

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

The Week Ahead

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

 

Grains / Soy complex: For Soybeans and corn interests, many eyes are on South America, where because their crop year runs counter to here in the U.S., large producers like Argentina and Brazil are approaching harvest. Brazil is set for a bumper soybean crop. Argentina is experiencing drought conditions which are more adversely affecting their corn crop than their soybeans. Traders believe the soybean crop can recover more significantly from the heat and drought as compared with the corn crop.

Gold & Silver: precious metals analysts often look to ETF holdings for guidance on gold and silver futures prices, eyeing inflows and outflows for developing patterns. To wit, both gold and silver ETF holdings are sitting above their levels at the start of the year

Energy: Crude oil traded to a 4-day low this A.M. The likely catalyst could be Chinese energy demand, which seems to be linked to COVID infection rates in that country, whish show little signs of peaking yet.  Support at $80.00 per barrel (March contract) looks vulnerable unless we see some confirmation of improving conditions inside China.

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 is based on information taken from trade and statistical services and other sources Cannon Trading believes are reliable. We do not guarantee that such information is accurate or complete, and it should not be relied upon as such. 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. RESULTS NOT ADJUSTED FOR COMMISSION AND SLIPPAGE.

      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
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.
