Trading Updates:

The CME fee schedule effective March 1, 2023 has been added on the CME Group fee page.
Just this last November, the U.S. Justice Department announced that two Estonian citizens were arrested for their alleged involvement in a $575 million cryptocurrency fraud and money laundering conspiracy. That same month, a notable Chinese venture investor, Bo Shen revealed he lost $42 million worth of crypto as a result of a theft from his personal wallet.
Between then and now, the news of the collapse of crypto platform FTX continues to rattle the world of digital assets. To date, FTX’s customers’ funds are still frozen and they are losing hope they will ever get much back. It’s customers number in the millions. The 50 largest creditors alone are owed more than $3 billion dollars.
It makes you wonder about the safety and integrity of trading crypto assets.
Let this be a reminder that the world’s largest futures and options exchange – the CME Group – offers you a choice for managing cryptocurrency risk with Bitcoin and Micro Bitcoin futures and options as well as Ether futures.
These contracts trade on a regulated exchange where all participants see the same prices and quotes. Participants enjoy true market transparency and price discovery. They all can be easily traded on your supported trading platform.
For more information or a professional consultation, or to try a futures trading platform demo, contact Cannon Trading Co.
Updates effective March 1, 2023 are listed below and highlighted on the schedules:
  • CME Alternative Investment Product Fee Schedules
  • (NEW) Note 4 – Effective through August 31, 2023, the Exchange Fees for all Globex, EFP, EFR, Block and BTIC transactions in Micro Bitcoin Futures will be discounted to $0.70 for members and to $1.00 for non-members.
  • (NEW) Note 5 – Effective through August 31, 2023, the Exchange Fees for all Globex, EFP, EFR, Block and BTIC transactions in Micro Ether Futures will be discounted to $0.07 for members and to $0.10 for non-members.

PriceCounts – Not about where we’ve been , but where we might be going next!
April live cattle satisfied second upside PriceCounts objective last month and has spent time consolidating since. At this point if the charts can resume its rally with new sustained highs, the third count would project a run to the 171.92 area, very close to the old time high print from the fall of 2014.

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

Bullet Points, Highlights, Announcements

 

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

 

Inflation concerns weigh heavily not only on the markets we trade, discussions with our family, friends and neighbors often include the topic of inflation. It’s an inescapable reality in 2023. This weeks anticipated market movers are inflation gauges or data points the FED uses to guide future policy directives.

Tomorrow we have a number of gauges for the markets to absorb and they are all before 10 a.m. EST. Case -Shiller home price index, Chicago PMI, Consumer Confidence and the Richmond Fed Manu Index. All between 9 and 10 a.m..

Wednesday Fed Governor Kashkari at 9 a.m. followed by PMI Manu Final @ 9:45 ISM and construction spending @ 10 a.m.

Thursday Motor Vehicle Sales (look for a slowdown compared to a hot January) and Jobless Claims at 8:30 EST and Productivity and costs.  It’s also a heavy week for US Treasury bill note and bond settlements and auctions.

Friday ISM @ 10 EST and a number of fed Governor speeches beginning @ 110:45 EST through the end of the trading week. No Non Farm Payrolls this week!

Historically, the Senate Banking and the House Financial Services committees hold hearings with the FED Chair Twice a year and February is the month these open mike events are held. Not this year. Although when they do schedule the hearings it may be a little more challenging for FED Chair Powell to rely on Post Black out period discussions since this is normally when the Chairman is invited to the congressional hearings-immediately after FED Rate announcements.

The employment situation for February AKA Non Farm Payrolls won’t be released until Friday, March 10. The February survey reference period ended Saturday, February 18. It takes three weeks to prepare the report. What is normally a first Friday of the month release, will therefore be on the second Friday.

PCE tomorrow. Last few PCE reports we saw some very wild moves!

What is the PCE report?

Source Bureau of Economic Analysis (latest release): Measures Change in the price of goods and services purchased by consumers, excluding food and energy; Usual Effect ‘Actual’ greater than ‘Forecast’ is good for currency;

Frequency Released monthly, about 30 days after the month ends;

Next Release Mar 31, 2023 FF Notes Differs from Core CPI in that it only measures goods and services targeted towards and consumed by individuals.

Prices are weighted according to total expenditure per item which gives important insights into consumer spending behavior. CPI is released about 10 days earlier and tends to garner most of the attention;

Why Traders Care? It’s the Federal Reserve’s primary inflation measure. Inflation is important to currency valuation because rising prices lead the central bank to raise interest rates out of respect for their inflation containment mandate;

Acro Expand Personal Consumption Expenditures (PCE), Consumer Price Index (CPI);

FOMC Minutes, 02.22.2023 Trading Levels

Posted on by Ilan

The below commentary about tomorrow’s FOMC minutes is provided by www.NewSquawk.com

 

FOMC MINUTES (WED): After economic data for January highlighted a hot economy where inflation appears to be sticky, traders will look through the minutes for clues about how the central bank could respond, specifically looking at any commentary that indicates officials have appetite for rate hikes to resume with jumbo increments above 25bps, or even expectations of a higher terminal rate for the cycle. As a reminder, the Fed hiked its FFR by 25bps to 4.5-4.75% at its February meeting, as expected.

The statement said the central bank continues to see “ongoing increases” in the Fed rate as being appropriate, coming against some expectations that the line could be dropped in order to give optionality for a lower terminal rate than the 5-5.25% median dot in the December SEPs. While that didn’t happen, we did see a switch in language on guidance from the “pace of future increases” to the “extent of future increases,” suggesting that debate is moving from the size of hike increments to how many hikes remain in the cycle, a dovish offset to the continued use of “ongoing increases”. Elsewhere in the statement, the Fed acknowledged that inflation had eased

somewhat, but remained elevated. Chair Powell sat on the fence on many topics he was asked about in his postmeeting press conference, rather than cut off his options.

The Fed Chair confirmed that the disinflation process was underway, albeit he was eager to highlight that core services inflation, ex-housing, had not shown progress. He believes that policy is still not ‘sufficiently restrictive’, but left optionality by stressing data dependence, later saying that it is possible that the Fed updates its policy path if the data came in differently to what it expects. Powell said the Fed has not yet made a decision on the terminal rate, and that it will look at the data between now and the March SEPs.

The Fed chief sees a path to getting inflation to 2% without significant economic decline, though it could take more slowing in the economy than it expects.

Presidents Day Futures Trading Schedule 2023
GLOBEX CME, ICE Presidents Day Futures Trading Schedule 2023
At some point in nearly everyone’s trading timelines, they wonder how their trading successes (or failures) compare with those of other traders. Wondering just how well you stack up to other traders in the industry is a natural curiosity and a human psychological tendency. However, actually knowing the success or failure rates of others doesn’t do a lot to move you farther down the road of where you want to be regarding trading success.
Most traders also wonder about the success rates of the “professional” traders—the ones who make their living solely by the profits they generate from trading. I will provide you with an answer to this question at the end of this feature.
Below are 10 questions regarding measuring your own trading progress and success. These questions should help you determine where you stand in this challenging field of endeavor.
1. What is trading “success?” This is a most basic question. Most would agree that ultimate trading success is defined as being profitable at trading—making more money than you lose. There are other secondary factors that also define success in trading, such as finding a “balance” between trading and other life activities. But it’s being profitable at trading that is the benchmark of defining success.
2. What is trading “progress?” Beginning traders should not expect to have immediate and ultimate success trading futures, stocks or FOREX markets. What they can expect in the early going is to make steady progress through gaining knowledge and experience. Even veteran successful traders continue to make trading progress. Achieving and maintaining trading success requires continual progress—namely continuing to seek out trading and market knowledge. Traders who truly enjoy the “progress” and process of trading do have a significant trading edge over those who do not enjoy learning and gaining experience.
3. At what point in my trading timeline should I expect trading “success?” Trading success (winning trades) can come right away—even for the beginning traders. What is less likely for the inexperienced traders is sustained trading success. Beginners can even run into a “hot streak” that skews the overall reality of trading. Immediate (and likely fleeting) success for a beginning futures trader can do longer-term psychological harm—if he or she does not fully recognize and understand the hard work and perseverance required on the road to trading success. Many times I get questions from less-experienced traders that go something like this: “I’ve been trading two years and I’ve only been able to about break even.” My reply to them is, “Hey, you should not be too discouraged with those results. Many traders don’t have that kind of success in the early going.”

PriceCounts – Not about where we’ve been , but where we might be going next!
April Gold satisfied its first upside PriceCount objective last month and could not sustain further strength. Now, the chart has activated downside counts on the correction lower. The first objective projects a run to the 1797. It would take a trade below the November reactionary low to negate the remaining upside targets.

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.

Bullet Points, Highlights, Announcements

 

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

 

General:

While yesterday’s U.S. Consumer Price Index showed inflation continues to slow from its readings in 2022, CPI readings, the pace of declined slowed and a wide array prices stayed elevated, including food, clothes (women’s apparel dropped slightly), rent and hotel rooms. Once again, a key economic report has shown that the road back to 2.0% inflation, on which the Federal Reserve is committed to following, is going to be lengthy and rugged. It certainly leaves Fed in a hawkish posture.

Be alert: the release of the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Producer Price Index is on deck for tomorrow.  The report comes out at 7:30 A.M., Central Time.

Markets:

Metals:

Gold (April) has declined ±$130 (a ±$13,000 move) since its Feb. 1 intraday high of $1,970.80 / oz. Today’s $1839.30 intraday low sets it back to prices not seen since the first of the for the calendar year.

Corn:

For most of the last few months, U.S. corn prices have justifiably focused on crop conditions, including obviously yield and quality, in Argentina and Brazil, which have continually come in far from ideal. As a result, the markets have priced in current and further crop damage coming into the South America harvest. That’s about to shift with the start of the crop year here in the U.S. Forecasts for planted acreage, demand, ending stocks, stocks/usage ratio – all tracked by the USDA and sized up by traders – are about to take center stage. As crops from the southern hemisphere are “made,” if little or no further surprises hit, look for CBOT corn prices to settle in for news of this year’s U.S. crop, starting with Prospective Plantings late next month.

Crude oil:

Despite the uneven decline of crude oil prices over the last 8 months from their ±$105 per barrel highs of last June (basis March) down to a few recent forays to the low 70’s per barrel, crude oil looks to still be focused on growing Chinese demand. As we approach the traditional U.S. driving season in May, look for recent lows as meaningful signs of support.
