Volatile Moves Expected Following Election Results from Futures Trading Market on November 3rd 2010
Posted By:- Ilan Levy-Mayer Vice President, Cannon Trading Futures Blog
A BIG 24 hours lay ahead….I suspect some volatility to hit the night markets as election results come out and then we jump right into FOMC tomorrow.
FOMC tomrrow around 2:15 Eastern time.
FOMC days have different characteristics than other trading days. If you have traded for a while, check your trading notes from past FOMC days that may help you prepare for tomorrow.
if you’re a newcomer, take a more conservative approach and make sure you understand that the news can really move the market.
My observations suggest choppy, low volume up until announcement, followed by some sharp volatile moves right during and after the announcement.
I am including a five-minutes chart from Sept. 21st of this year, which was the last FOMC we had for your reference.
GOOD TRADING!
