PriceCounts – Not about where we’ve been , but where we might be going next!
April Gold: April gold corrected after completing the first upside PriceCount objective in January now the chart is threatening to resume its rally where a sustained high would project a run to the second count in the 2052 area
April Gold, #GC
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.

Trade June indices as well as June currencies!

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!

The Week Ahead,(hint CPI release tomorrow, Fed Blackout period, ECB Rate decision to name a few)

By John Thorpe, Senior broker

 

Or rather the weekend update for March 13th.. No government bailouts!

I bring this to everyone’s attention so you can, for yourself, rather than listen to our available media outlets what the Fed has decided to do and how they plan on addressing any future bank issues.  I have also included the FDIC links where Failed Banks will be listed. For now we have two  , let’s hope it stays that way..

 

Mixed signals from a number The US Treasury Department and The Fed over the weekend. (Janet Yellen said no help for the depositors of SVB on Saturday) Fed Reversed.

Here are a few links regarding the eye popping news of Bank Failures.

First from the Fed

Federal Reserve Board – Federal Reserve Board announces it will make available additional funding to eligible depository institutions to help assure banks have the ability to meet the needs of all their depositors

Here are the rules for the failed banks

Bank Term Funding Program (federalreserve.gov)

 

The FDIC is where you can get the most recent updated list and what actions they take. Personally when the appoint a new CEO do your research on these people.

Now for CPI! It’s tomorrow!

if CPI core services excluding housing is not also improving, the FOMC will have another reason to hike rates by 50 basis points at the March meeting. If some of the lagged effects of past rate hikes are visible release @ 7:30 CDT Tuesday.

FINAL Demand PPI on Wednesday at , you got it, the same time will move the market  although it shouldn’t be Brutal.

Thursday Jobless claims! Same bat time same bat station. Also the ECB Rate decision at 8:15 CDT 45 mins after the jobless claims and housing starts, we finish on ST. Paddy’s day! With a Leading indicators number that may be overshadowed by the previous economic releases. Be Careful out there, Plan your trade and trade your plan!

 

The March Mini SP resumed its rally into a new high earlier this month but was unable to sustain that renewed momentum now in the correction lower the chart is activated downside PriceCounts and quickly completed the first objective and showing signs of stability for a moment

Ahead of NFP this Friday, the below is provided by our friends over at NewSquawk.com

PREVIEW: US nonfarm payrolls (Feb’23) to be released on Friday March 10th at 13:30GMT/08:30EST

Traders will frame the February jobs data in the context of the FOMC’s March 22nd meeting. Chair Powell this week has guided expectations towards a 50bps rate rise at that meeting, and suggested that the FOMC is likely to revise its view of the terminal rate higher.

Accordingly, the bar for further hawkish repricing is higher than the bar for any dovish tweaking to that pricing (the former being likely in the event of an upside surprise, and the latter in the event of a downside surprise).

The reaction will likely be largely premised on the headline and then the wage components. It is also worth noting that expectations for that March meeting will be refined by the CPI data for the month, which is due on March 14th.

EXPECTATIONS: The consensus looks for 203k nonfarm payrolls to be added to the US economy in February (forecast range: 100-325k), with the pace cooling from the 517k added in January. If the consensus is realized, it would be lower than the pace of the 3-, 6- and 12-month averages, at 356k, 349k and 414k respectively. The unemployment rate is expected to be unchanged at 3.4% (range: 3.3-3.5%); the Fed projects that the jobless rate will peak at 4.6% in 2023, although the central bank will update its economic projections at the March 21-22nd confab.
