Weekly Newsletter: Good Friday Schedule + Levels for April 3rd

Posted on by Ilan

Cannon Futures Weekly Newsletter Issue # 1140

 

Join our private Facebook group for additional insight into trading and the futures markets!

In this issue:

  • Important Notices – Good Friday Schedule along with NFP report
  • Trading Resource of the Week – Free Webinar Trading Terminal for Professional Traders & Hedgers
  • Hot Market of the Week – May Silver
  • Broker’s Trading System of the Week – VS beta45 intraday NQ1 E-mini Nasdaq
  • Trading Levels for Next Week

  • Important Notices – Good Friday Schedule and NFP Report

Heads up traders. This coming Friday, April 7th will be somewhat of an irregularity. It is a trading holiday (Good Friday) and simultaneously the first Friday of the month, when the Labor Department will release its monthly Non-farm payrolls report.
While the major CME Group futures markets with 4:00 P.M. Central Time closings will finish the week’s trading at that regular time on Thursday, June 5th, at the regular 6:00 P.M. start of trading, energy, grains and metals will remain closed. Only interest rate, equities, currencies and cryptocurrencies will open and will close early Friday morning as follows:
Interest rate: 10:15 A.M. Central Time
Equities: 8:15 A.M.
Currencies: 10:15 A.M.
Cryptocurrencies: 10:15 A.M.
This will give some of the most actively traded and report-sensitive instruments only a limited amount of time to react to what is widely considered to be one of the most important and influential measures of the U.S. economy – on a day that will likely see reduced volume.

USDA prospective plantings report tomorrow at 11 AM Central Time

From our friends at Hightower Report

SOYBEANS

 

For the USDA prospective plantings report on Friday, the average trade expectation for US soybean plantings is

88.3 million acres, with a range of expectations from 87.4 to 89.6 million. This would be up from 87.5 million last

year. The USDA Outlook Forum had planted area at 87.5 million acres as well.

 

For the Quarterly Grain Stocks report, US March 1 soybean stocks are expected to come in around 1.728 billion bushels (range 1.600-1.910 billion) versus 1.932 billion last year. Brazil may need to supply up to half of the soybeans that Argentina will import after the worst drought in 100 years devastated its fields and cut 2023 output nearly in half.

 

Argentina may need to import up to 10 million tonnes of soybeans. For the weekly export sales report, traders see soybean sales near 100,000-600,000 tonnes for old crop and another 50,000-300,000 tonnes for new crop. Meal sales are expected near 75,000-250,000 tonnes and oil sales are expected near zero-20,000 tonnes.

 

TODAY’S MARKET IDEAS:

Look for support in November Soybeans at 1291 3/4, with 1316 and then 1337 1/2 as key resistance. July Soybean support is at 1443, with 1464 3/4 as next key resistance. July Soybean Meal support is at 447.30, with 459.10 and 465.70 as resistance.

 

CORN

 

For the USDA planted acreage report on Friday, traders see US corn plantings near 90.9 million acres, 87.7-92.1 range, as compared with 91 million acres from the USDA Outlook forum and from 88.6 million last year. We lean to the higher end of estimates.

 

Traders see March 1 corn stocks at 7.474 billion bushels which would be the lowest since 2014. The range of estimates is 7.240-7.830, as compared with 7.758 billion last year. For the weekly export sales report, traders see corn sales near 600,000-1.8 million tonnes for old crop and 50,000-300,000 tonnes for new crop.

 

WHEAT

 

For the USDA planted acreage report on Friday, traders see all wheat planted area at 48.9 million acres, 45.7-50.0 range, as compared with 49.5 million acres from the USDA Outlook Forum. Spring wheat planted area is expected near 10.9 million acres, 9.8-12.0 range, as compared with 10.8 million acres last year. Winter wheat plantings are expected near 36.3 million acres from 33.3 million in 2022. Traders see wheat stocks as of March 1 at 929 million bushels, 875-1.020 billion range, as compared with stocks last March at 1.029 billion bushels last year. For the weekly export sales report, traders see wheat sales near 125,000-300,000 tons for old crop and 0-150,000 tons for new crop.

GDP Tomorrow + 03.30.2023 Trading Levels

The Rest of the Trading Week Ahead:

By Mark O’Brien, Senior broker

Tomorrow is GDP – Market moving event.

This Friday is First Notice Day for April gold. Holding long positions in this futures contract into Friday subjects you to receiving a delivery notice from the exchange for 100 ounces of gold. You would then be required to have the full notional value of each 100-ounce futures contract on deposit in your account.

This upcoming event may not apply to any positions in your account this time, but if you ever take a long position in a futures contract where the method of settlement for that contract is the exchange of the actual physical asset, for example 100 ounces of gold, 5,000 bushels of oats, 37,500 pound of Arabica coffee, then you need to be mindful of those dates on the calendar that relate to the futures contracts you trade – Like First Notice Day. It can be a costly mistake even if you overlook an important date and find yourself in need of having to change your mind. After being informed that your account has received a delivery notice and you move to do an about-face – called retendering in futures parlance – the exchange may present you with a fine for your disregard of the calendar. Be careful.

For the grain markets and impact on livestock prices, Friday will mark the once a year prospective plantings report.

Big Grain Report this Friday + 03.28.2023 Trading Levels

The Week Ahead:

By John Thorpe, Senior broker

There are few reports with market-moving potential in the March 27 week for the financials, However, for the grain markets and impact on livestock prices, Friday will mark the once a year prospective plantings report.

The third and final estimate of GDP for the fourth quarter 2022 will be reported at 7:30 CDT on Thursday. With the first quarter 2023 already nearing its end, there is far more interest in economic conditions in the January-March period.

Meanwhile, Fed policymakers will be back in public after the end of the communications blackout period from the March 21-22 FOMC meeting. No comments will be more closely attended to than Vice Chair of Supervision Michael Barr’s appearance before the House Financial Services Committee on Wednesday at 9:00 CDT. Aside from the committee’s posturing, Barr’s written testimony and responses to questioning will be a warning to other banks to clean up their risk management and any overreliance on narrow business sectors.

Post FOMC:

By Mark O’Brien, Senior broker

General

 

Count ‘em: nine in a row. That’s how many meetings the Federal Reserve has increased its key interest rate. As of today’s .25-point increase, the federal funds rate target range stands at 4.75%-5.00%, the highest level since September 2007. The vote by all 11 members of the Federal Open Market Committee was unanimous. Clearly, the bank runs that toppled Silicon Vally Bank and roiled the banking industry have been front and center in the financial world the last two weeks, but the situation fazed Fed officials little if at all. “The U.S. banking system is sound and resilient,” said the prepared policy statement released at 1:00 P.M., Central Time today. Fighting inflation, it seems, remains the Central Bank’s focus.

 

Metals

 

On Monday, gold futures (basis April) pierced through $2,000 per ounce intraday for the first time in a year as the U.S. banking crisis spread to Europe with Credit Suisse, a preeminent name in global investment banking, sought help from Switzerland’s central bank and then put itself up for sale. This marked a ±$18,000 per 100-oz. futures contract move in just eight trading sessions from March 9.

 

Grains

 

Wheat continued its ±8-month slide from its multi-year spike high above $13/bushel on the heels of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine to lows not seen since July ’21 as traders see improvement in U.S. winter wheat crop conditions and a lack of significant weather issues across key northern hemisphere wheat producers. The front month May contract closed today at it’s life-of-contract low of $6.22 ¾ per bushel.

 

Energy

 

Crude oil continued its almost 9-month decline in prices from over $120 per barrel last June to trade below $65 per barrel (basis May) on Monday, including a ±$15 / $15,000 per contract fall from March 7, scarcely two weeks.

 

Natural gas basis its May futures contract tested 32-month lows yesterday, threatening to punch through $2.00 per million British thermal units (MMBtu). With the North American winter heating season approaching its end, residential, commercial, and industrial gas demand has been on the decline.

The Fed Breaks its’ silence! + 03.21.2023 Trading Levels

The Week Ahead: FOMC, The FED breaks its Silence..

By John Thorpe, Senior broker

There is little doubt traders will be tightly focused on the FOMC meeting on Tuesday and Wednesday. The release of the meeting statement at 14:00 ET on Wednesday will settle speculation about whether Fed voters will pause interest rate hikes or take rates higher for the eighth meeting in a row. If the Committee raises rates, by how much? Will it be a 25 or 50 basis points?

Powell’s press briefing at 14:30 ET on Wednesday will be the first opportunity for the press to ask of the Fed Chair about recent turmoil in the banking sector. Most of the news became public just as Fed officials entered the communications blackout period for the next rate announcement (midnight, Saturday March 12 through midnight, Thursday, March 23). Unless there was an urgent need to alter the signals previously given about the direction of monetary policy, it is not a topic that Powell would speak about publicly until after the meeting. Powell is likely to get as many questions about the state of the banking industry in the US as he will about the FOMC decision and forecast. My Favorite tool is the CME FedWatch tool.

The bar graphs represent the fed fund futures prices and adjust daily. As of this writing, according to the tool, there is a 28% chance of no change and a 71% chance of .25 increase, although some economists do expect a .50% increase, the market is discounting that faction and focusing on Zero change or a .25 bump. CME FedWatch Tool – CME Group

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
