What Futures Traders Should Watch This Week

PPI & CPI

By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

We have everything needed to move the markets next week as we do expect increased volatility from Government data releases, especially PPI, Thursday, September 10th. and CPI Friday September 11^th before the cash market open. This, in addition to the lasting uncertainty in the Middle East.

On the earnings front, underpriced for a stock considered to be an AI stock; Adobe reports Thursday after the close.  The Grain Markets should see additionally volatility from the 11:00 am CDT WASDE report also on Friday September 11^th.

Is the smoke intensifying in the Mid-East, Russia/Ukraine and the markets are continuing to react to a deepening sense of uncertainty?

The energy’s, metals, securities, grains and interest rates are swirling in the uncertainty from a lack of resolution in the attempted unwinding of the Iranian nuclear program.  And the grain markets have been genuflecting to the public conversations by Putin and the lack of facilities to ship this years harvest out of the black see region?.

Don’t let your guard down just yet, the fog continues, tune into the Sunday evening markets to witness reactions to the weekend news streams, manufactured or true.

  Plan your trade and trade your plan!

Futures 102: The Daily Briefing by Cannon

Every morning, the world’s biggest banks and macro strategists publish where markets are headed. The rest of the world waits for the headline.

That intelligence stays locked inside trading desks, institutional terminals, and private client portals — accessible only to the few who pay for the privilege, and even they only get what they pay for.

This briefing changes that ( 100% FREE on Cannon’s website!!). Every morning we scour the open web and aggregate everything that matters — pulling from publicly available sources so you never have to — and distill it into one clear, readable edition you can get through before your first coffee is finished.

No terminals. No subscriptions. No private portals. Just everything the market is saying, gathered in one place, every morning before the bell.

October Feeder Cattle

October Feeder Cattle stabilized after completing the third downside PriceCount objective last month. Now, on the correction higher, the chart has activated upside counts with the first objective pointing to the 328.05 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.
