Bullet Points, Highlights, Announcements:

By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker

General: Albeit a lurching progression, as it’s coming out of the first quarter, China’s Post-Covid recovery looks to be gaining traction – arguably more so than here in the U.S. – if their trade balance numbers are a good yardstick. Data released early last week showed a meaningfully-above-consensus $88.2 billion surplus, including a year-over-year 14.8% increase in exports (its first YOY gain in six months) and a stout 28% monthly increase in crude oil imports (12.3 million barrels per day) over February. Iron ore and coal imports also showed considerable month-over month gains. We keep an eye on this country’s economic health because it accounts for ±18% – almost a fifth of the world’s GDP, second to the U.S. at ±25%. The next 10 countries combined, including Japan, Germany, the U.K., India, Canada and South Korea account for another ±30%.

With their economies in competition with each other, further recovery for China against the U.S.’s current grind to control inflation and stave off a recession – even the slightest of one – puts pressure on the dollar, now ±6 months in decline from its 20-year highs. This bodes well for physical commodities such as copper, crude oil grains and soy complex markets. Keep an eye on the world economic picture – particularly China’s journey to recovery – to provide guidance for your trades.

Fear? Greed? Who is moving the markets?

Is it news? big players? perhaps order flow?

Should you be trading one market and become an “expert” or should you be following a few markets for diversification?

Have you heard about spreads? same day options?

You can get answers to the above and MUCH more by talking to an experienced broker which can be one of the most valuable resources a trader can utilize when trading futures.

  • Important Notices – Goodbye Eurodollar

Heads up traders:
Today we say goodbye to a commodity that for ±20 years starting in the early 2000’s held the title of largest open interest futures contract in the world: the Eurodollar. Long the benchmark for hedging short-interest rates, it is being replaced today by the Three-Month Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Futures.
SOFR measures the cost of borrowing U.S. dollar cash overnight using Treasury securities as collateral. SOFR has been recommended by the U.S. Federal Reserve’s Alternative Reference Rate Committee (ARRC) and SOFR looks set to become the main indicator of U.S. dollar interest rates around the world as global regulators encourage market participants to transition to SOFR.
CME Group launched SOFR-based futures in 2018 to support the transition. Starting today, any Eurodollar exposure where the start date is beyond June 30, 2023, will automatically convert to the corresponding CME SOFR. For more information regarding the conversion process, please visit the CME Group web site.

Hot market of the week is provided by QT Market Center, A swiss army knife charting package that’s not just for Hedgers, Cooperatives and Farmers alike but also for Spread traders, Swing traders and shorter time frame application for intraday traders with a unique proprietary indicator that can be applied to your specific trading needs.
June Gold is approaching its second upside PriceCount objective where it would be normal for the chart to react with a near term consolidation or corrective trade upon satisfying the count. At this point, IF there is another leg up to this bull run, the 3rd PriceCount objective run is towards the 2261 area.
PriceCounts – Not about where we’ve been , but where we might be going next!

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

Short Covering? 04.14.2023 Trading Levels

Yesterday’s CPI print with FOMC minutes triggered a sell off into the market. Coming into today, the jobless claims news triggered a rally. Despite us selling off yesterday, bulls were able to regain back control as dips has been bought.

As this plays out, people who are short managed to get squeezed out fueling the market higher like today.

Is this a short covering or a resumption of short term uptrend? In my opinion tomorrow’s report will provide additional clues.

See 30 minute chart below.

Looking at the last two trading days of the week By Mark O’Brien, Senior Broker:

General: The March Consumer Price Index came in cooler than expected, showing a rise of 0.1% in March. Economists polled by Dow Jones were expecting CPI to rise by 0.2% month over month.

 

Minutes from the Federal Reserve’s March policy meeting showed officials feared that the economy could tilt into a mild recession later this year in the wake of the U.S. banking crisis.

 

Yesterday, Bitcoin futures (BTC) pushed over the $30,000 level for the first time since June 2022. This on the heels of a ±10,000-point move from March 10 when the April contract traded to an intraday low of 19,620 and closed at 20,110.

 

Today, May orange juice futures closed at an all-time high of $2.8490 per pound a remarkable ±80-cent / $12,000 move from late January. This year, the U.S. orange crop is forecast to be the smallest since 1937. Output has generally been in decline since peaking 25 years ago, though this year’s losses in Florida – a global top producer still – are extremely sharp. Yesterday, the USDA pegged the 2022-2023 U.S. orange crop at 62.25 million boxes, an 86-year low and down 23% on the year. That is less than 20% of U.S. output compared to the record 1997-1998 season.

 

May sugar futures traded today to 6 1/2 -year highs and an intraday high of 24.85 cents/pound continuing its months-long charge from the 17-18-cent range (one cent = $1,120). News of lower-than-expected production in some key regions and tightening supplies have persisted into the year.

 

For the seventh consecutive session, June gold has closed above $2,000/ounce. Referencing the Fed minutes mentioned above, economists have cited rising interest rates and now a potentially more acute slowdown in lending after the collapse of several U.S. banks as a possible trigger of a recession this year. The prospect of a U.S. recession boosts safe-haven demand for gold, which has been on a tear since early-March – with a ±$200 per ounce / $20,000 move.

 

Plan your trade and trade your plan.

The Week Ahead

by John Thorpe, Senior Broker

 

I hope everyone is rested from the holiday week behind us, this week’s economic number releases should keep all the traders on their toes.

CPI Wednesday! The standouts will be the March CPI data on Wednesday at 7:30 CT and retail and food services sales at 7:30 CT on Friday. The CPI will be critical to the inflation outlook for Fed policymakers.

Previous CPI reports have created velocity logic events in the stock indices at the CME. The above reports will Bookend the FOMC minutes release @1pm CT on Wednesday.

If you recall the FED Meeting Black out period was before the Bank issues so don’t expect too much verbage about the banking situation in this report. Also Remember, expectations will be baked into the market at release time, after release, the market has sustained moves when the reality is much different from the expectations.

 

Plan your trade and trade your plan.

The Week Ahead + 04.04.2023 Trading Levels

The Week ahead by John Thorpe, Senior Broker

Primarily labor department data.

A big Note, BIG.. Good Friday is the same day as the Non Farm Payrolls release

The cash equities will be closed but the Futures will be open for the report and only 45 minutes after!

That’s right, just 45 minutes for the market to absorb the jobs data.

NonFarm Payrolls will be released @ 8;30 ET and the market is closing @ 9:15 ET until a Sunday night reopen

The bonds will be open until 10.15ET

 

The focus in the April 3 week will be on labor market data, just how tight employment remained at the end of the first quarter 2023 and what that means for the economic outlook and monetary policy.

Note that April 7 – Good Friday – is not a federal holiday in the US. However, there is an early close at 2:00 ET that day for the capital markets; the stock market will have a full close.

The February JOLTS report at 10:00 ET on Tuesday It will almost certainly show the number of people voluntarily quitting a job is declining as the imbalances in the labor market improve.

The ADP national employment report for March at 8:15 ET on Wednesday should indicate where private payrolls are growing. tech companies and some financial services may be weaker. Also important to note will be if wage growth is easing up.

The Challenger report for March at 7:30 ET on Thursday will highlight the sectors where layoffs announcements are taking place. In recent months it has been the tech sector that has dominated the story, but the February report hinted that layoffs are becoming more broad-based due to deteriorating business conditions.

The employment situation for March at 8:30 ET on Friday is expected to show that payrolls continued to rise at a healthy pace, although not as quickly as in January and February. March payrolls can be tricky to seasonally adjust due to the timing of spring breaks for various school systems and the Easter/Passover observances.
