What Futures Traders Should Watch This Week
PPI, Rollover
By John Thorpe, Senior Broker

A 5-day trading calendar next week that will include Equity futures Rollover (Mon.).
We’ll have everything needed to move the markets as we do expect increased volatility from Government data releases, especially as investors brace for high-stakes interest rate decisions from the Federal Reserve (Wed.), Bank of England (Thu.), and Bank of Japan (Fri.) combined with CPI Releases for the U.K.(Wed.), Eurozone (Thu.) and Japan (Fri.) this, in addition to the lasting uncertainty in the Middle East.
On the earnings front, nearly nothing to report as this is the end of Q2 earnings.

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!
