   The Japanese Yen closed the week on its lows. Conversely Dollar Yen closed near its highs. Traders should continue buy dips in Dollar Yen and continue selling Yen futures on Rallies.  Aussie, Canuck and Cable all tested lower levels, traders should look for an oversold bounce. Euro, Swiss Francs pushed higher. Consider the Swiss and Euro a trading affair while the US dollar index continues to rest on support. The Bond Market acts lousy and it appear that the highs from last year will be highs for some time and considering that period may be years traders should be patient and wait for selling chances.

US. Stock Indices advanced again and Crude Oil continues to act better than we expected, buy crude and its products on weakness and be long. Gold and silver appear to be still trying to find a trading low while rallies continue to get sold. If gold rallies above the recent highs it should be considered constructive and further advances are likely. However prices are not cheap and it remains a trading affair.  Any increase in industrial demand associated with an economic upturns will probably help move silver and copper towards higher prices. Buy a dip Copper for a trade, additionally Platinum acts better however it is thinly traded but higher prices seem likely. Typically, Soybeans perform nicely past mid February and this can last well into March and April. We want to Buy Soybeans on a good dip into February with longs firmly established by Valentines Day.  However wide price ranges over the near term are likely to continue. Consider the soybeans as a trading affair. Wheat is also a trading affair however one should not rule out weather issues, buy a dip and see if it holds.  While excessive rallies in wheat absent crop problems should be sold. Buy June Cattle on look for a rise into summer. Aggressive traders may want to consider Buying May Sugar to establish a long posture for an over sold bounce while exiting the March on a rally.  Buy Cotton on a dip. Coffee remains sloppy and is thrashing around    Stay tuned for reports, along with Flashes Updates in all markets.
