Geo Political Situation Moving Prices + Futures Trading Levels for Oct. 19th

Geo political situation is taking over….

By Senior Broker, Mark O’Brien

The conflict in the Middle East once again demonstrates the potency of geopolitical events in influencing commodities prices – to the degree that they can overpower other conventional fundamentals.

 

One notable move: on the Sunday, Oct. 7th opening of trading, Dec. gold gapped up ±$16 from its Friday $1845.2 close (and an 11-month intraday low of $1823.50) and today is flirting above $1950 per ounce.

 

Obviously, the most significant event in the midst of the conflict is the overnight hospital bombing in Gaza. That effectively nullified U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken’s week-long travels meeting with Arab leaders to try to ease tensions. Cancelled was a summit planned in Jordan on Wednesday between President Biden, King Abdullah II of Jordan, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. All this increases the prospects of a broadening of the participants in the conflict and keeping it the focal point among commodities.

 

What events like those in the Middle East can also do is amplify market movement established by conventional fundamentals. Futures markets already sensitive to global geopolitical events – energies, precious metals, stock indexes, interest rates in particular – can react excessively in the face of the compounding happenings going on.

 

Keep this mind in your trading. Be aware of the potential for expanded price ranges and sharper market turns.

Plan your trade and trade your plan.

September’s ex-food ex-energy rate is seen rising 0.2 percent on the month and 2.1 percent on the year versus August’s 0.2 percent on the month and 2.2 percent yearly rise.

Also on this day, The Fed minutes will be released @ 1:00 PM CDT: Detailing the issues of debate and consensus among policymakers, the Federal Open Market Committee issues minutes of its latest meeting three weeks after the meeting.

Consumer Price Index CPI Thursday 7:30 am CDT Core prices in September are expected to hold steady at a monthly increase of 0.3 percent to match August’s 0.3 percent increase Overall prices are also expected to rise 0.3 percent on the month after August’s as-expected percent 0.6 increase which hit expectations. Annual rates, at 3.7 percent overall and 4.3 percent for the core in August, are expected 3.6 at 4.1 percent respectively.

Also on this Day and time, Jobless Claims : Jobless claims for the October 8 week are expected to come in at 209,000 versus 207,000 in the prior week.

December Corn traded to within a dime of its fourth downside PriceCount objective and it increasing appears like that was enough to satisfy the bear move. The September contract and the weekly chart each hit their counts. Now, the chart is activated upset objectives and the first Target to 4.94 has been met. If we can sustain the move and get above $5 there’s a second objective just above to aim for in the 5.03 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

  • Trading Resource of the Week – Trading Commodity Seasonal Patterns

 

When we talk about seasonal patterns in futures, we’re referring to certain conditions and events that repeat annually. Perhaps the most obvious of these is the annual cycle of weather from warm to cold and back to warm. However, the calendar also marks the annual passing of important events, such as the due date for U.S. income taxes every April 15th. Enormous supplies of grain at harvest dwindle throughout the year. Demand for heating oil typically rises as cold weather approaches but subsides as inventory is filled. Monetary liquidity may decline as taxes are paid but rise as the Federal Reserve recirculates funds. Such annual events create yearly cycles in supply and demand.

December wheat–corn spread is threatening to negate and break down the September key reversal trade that looks to have failed to stabilize the break. At this point, new sustained lows would project a possible run to the third downside PriceCount objective to the 73 cent area.

Understanding psychological biases at work that can affect your trading plan

List generated by  By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

Technical analysis is not a flawless science, and it is susceptible to various biases that can impact trading decisions and performance. Recognizing and addressing these biases is essential for becoming a more disciplined and successful trader.

Here are some common technical analysis biases and strategies to avoid or overcome them:

  • Confirmation Bias:
    • Bias: This occurs when traders only seek or give importance to information that confirms their existing beliefs or positions.
    • Avoidance Strategy: Actively seek out information and technical signals that might contradict your initial analysis. Be open to changing your view based on objective data rather than personal bias.
  • Overfitting Bias:
    • Bias: Overfitting happens when traders use too many technical indicators, parameters, or complex strategies to fit historical data perfectly, but these strategies may not perform well in future markets.
    • Avoidance Strategy: Keep your technical analysis simple and use a limited number of well-established indicators and patterns. Focus on robust strategies that have demonstrated reliability over time.
  • Recency Bias:
    • Bias: Traders tend to give more importance to recent price movements and patterns, assuming they will continue, while ignoring longer-term trends or historical context.
    • Avoidance Strategy: Consider a longer time horizon and look at historical price data to gain perspective. Avoid making impulsive decisions based solely on recent price action.
  • Anchoring Bias:
    • Bias: This bias occurs when traders fixate on a specific price level or a reference point, often the entry price, and refuse to adjust their positions or exit strategies accordingly.
    • Avoidance Strategy: Regularly reassess your positions and set stop-loss and take-profit levels based on current market conditions rather than anchoring to an arbitrary point.
  • Availability Bias:
    • Bias: Traders might rely too heavily on readily available information or recent news, leading to biased analysis and decision-making.
    • Avoidance Strategy: Seek a variety of information sources and avoid making hasty decisions based solely on the latest news. Maintain a broader perspective on market fundamentals.
  • Gambler’s Fallacy:
    • Bias: Traders may believe that past events, like a series of losses, increase the likelihood of future events, such as a win, even though markets are not governed by probability in the same way as games of chance.
    • Avoidance Strategy: Trade based on sound technical and fundamental analysis rather than expecting a change in luck. Each trade should be evaluated independently.
  • Emotional Bias:
    • Bias: Emotional responses, such as fear and greed, can cloud judgment and lead to impulsive decisions.
    • Avoidance Strategy: Develop a trading plan with predefined entry and exit points, risk tolerance, and position sizing. Stick to your plan and avoid letting emotions drive your actions.
  • Hindsight Bias:
    • Bias: After a trade has concluded, traders may believe they knew the outcome all along, leading to overconfidence in their abilities.
    • Avoidance Strategy: Keep a trading journal to record your analysis, decisions, and outcomes. This will help you learn from your experiences and avoid hindsight bias.
  • Self-Attribution Bias:
    • Bias: Traders may attribute successful trades to their skill and unsuccessful trades to external factors or bad luck.
    • Avoidance Strategy: Be honest with yourself about your strengths and weaknesses as a trader. Analyze both winning and losing trades to identify areas for improvement.
  • Anxiety Bias:
    • Bias: Anxiety can lead to hesitation or overtrading, causing traders to miss opportunities or make impulsive decisions.
    • Avoidance Strategy: Implement stress-reduction techniques, maintain discipline, and stick to a well-defined trading plan to mitigate anxiety-related biases.

Being aware of these biases is the first step toward becoming a more rational and disciplined trader. It’s also beneficial to continuously educate yourself, practice risk management, and seek feedback from mentors or peers to improve your trading skills and reduce the impact of these biases on your performance.

The Week Ahead Outlook + Futures Trading Levels for Sept. 26th

The Week Ahead…..

By Senior Broker, John Thorpe

While the economic data calendar is well-populated in the September 25 week, nothing will distract from the looming federal shutdown if Congress fails to fund the government by September 30. A failure to pass a spending package would mean adding uncertainty to the economic outlook. Many businesses including small ones depend on government contracts; and without new contracts signed, a round of layoffs could be triggered at a time when skilled workers are difficult to replace. An extended shutdown would disrupt government services including the routine reporting of economic data not to mention inconvenience and perhaps damage businesses and households.

For housing reports, the ongoing surge in mortgage rates makes data from July and August relatively out of date. September data from both home builders and mortgage bankers point to a pullback as consumers reconsider buying while prices remain elevated and mortgage rates at 22-year highs. For September to date, the 30-year fixed rate has averaged 7.16 percent, the highest since 7.16 percent in July 2001. If the housing market is in a downturn due to high rates and elevated prices, the lack of supply of homes has helped maintain competition for available units. Determined homebuyers do have some negotiating power – more for new construction than existing units. Those buying in the current market may be doing so with the expectation that mortgage rates will come down again and allow them to refinance to a more affordable rate.

On Friday, the report on personal income and spending at 8:30 ET will include the PCE deflator for August. This is the Fed’s preferred measure of inflation. It is likely to mirror the moves in the August CPI with energy costs boosting the overall index a bit, but with signs of further moderation in prices outside of food and energy.

Trading Futures with a Pro: The Role of Knowledgeable and Transparent Futures Brokers

Posted on by Cannon Operations

Find out more about futures trading with Cannon Trading Company here.

Trading futures is a complex endeavor that demands expertise, strategic acumen, and the support of a knowledgeable and transparent futures broker. This article delves into the world of futures trading, explores the importance of commodity brokers, and highlights Cannon Trading’s exemplary reputation in the industry.

Understanding Futures Trading

Futures trading involves the buying and selling of standardized contracts for the future delivery of underlying assets, which can range from commodities like crude oil and gold to financial instruments such as stock indices or interest rates. It is a highly leveraged and speculative form of trading, often used by traders and investors to hedge risk or seek profit from price fluctuations.

The Role of Futures Brokers

Futures brokers serve as intermediaries between traders and the futures markets. They play a pivotal role in facilitating futures trading by providing access to trading platforms, executing orders, and offering expert guidance. The choice of a futures broker is a critical decision for traders, as it can significantly impact their trading experience and success.

Transparency in Futures Trading

Transparency is a foundational element in futures trading. Traders need to have a clear understanding of the costs involved, the mechanics of trading, and the risks associated with various contracts. A transparent futures broker ensures that clients have access to accurate and comprehensive information, promoting trust and confidence in the trading relationship.

Why Knowledge Matters in Futures Trading

The futures markets are dynamic and multifaceted, with a wide range of contracts and strategies. Knowledgeable futures brokers bring invaluable expertise to the table by:

  1. Market Analysis: They provide insights into market trends, supply and demand dynamics, and geopolitical factors that can influence prices.
  2. Risk Management: Experienced brokers help traders develop risk management strategies, including stop-loss orders and position sizing, to protect their capital.
  3. Contract Selection: They guide traders in choosing the right futures contracts based on their trading objectives and risk tolerance.
  4. Execution Efficiency: Knowledgeable brokers execute orders swiftly and accurately, ensuring traders can capitalize on market opportunities.
  5. Regulatory Compliance: They adhere to regulatory guidelines, safeguarding traders’ interests and ensuring the legitimacy of the trading process.

The Significance of Transparency in Commodity Brokers

Commodity brokers specialize in the trading of physical commodities, such as agricultural products, energy resources, and precious metals. Like futures brokers, transparency is paramount in commodity trading. Commodity brokers should provide clients with clear information regarding contract specifications, fees, and potential risks associated with commodity trading.

  1. Transparency: Just like futures brokers, commodity brokers should prioritize transparency in all their dealings with clients. Clear and accurate information about contracts, fees, and risks is essential.
  2. Market Knowledge: Commodity brokers should possess a deep understanding of the commodities they trade, including supply and demand dynamics, geopolitical factors, and market trends.
  3. Risk Management: Brokers should assist clients in developing effective risk management strategies to protect their capital from market volatility.
  4. Timely Execution: Swift and accurate execution of commodity orders is crucial, allowing clients to capitalize on price movements.
  5. Regulatory Compliance: Commodity brokers must adhere to relevant regulatory guidelines to ensure the integrity and fairness of commodity trading.

Trading futures and commodities is a challenging endeavor that demands the support of knowledgeable and transparent brokers.
