US Stocks closed better on Friday, the Dow Industrials and Transports both closed Friday near or at all time high settlements. Traders should look for more news-driven trading and expanded ranges during the rest of the month. Traders should stay tuned for Flashes along with updates in all markets.
Sell a rally in June Bonds to re-establish shorts. Bonds are oversold and can bounce this week. Aussie acts lousy, rallies should be sold. Forex traders should establish shorts on rallies if able and Sell rallies to add in preparation for a decline. Yen remains long term bearish, but it can firm up bit. Sell a rally in futures and buy Dollar / Yen on a dip. Canuck can firm a bit; aggressive traders may want to play both sides of the Canuck. Seasonally Canadian dollar can rally into the end of the month. However the long-side should be short term maybe a week or two if it holds. The rally may be muted and selling a rally to re-establish a short posture is preferred as lower prices appear to be in front of the Canadian Dollar not behind it. Sell a rally in Swiss the higher the better. Look for a range bound to lower Euro, the 13100 to 13040 region has not held and prints of 12740 to 12680 on the downside appears inevitable. Stay tuned for Forex Flashes.
Silver and gold act sloppy, typically buying at the end of March on weakness should yield some strength into early to the middle of April, if for no other reason than short covering. Silver should begin to act better first.
Energies are weak, however strength into April and May should not be ruled out. The longs in April Crude are under water. Buy June to add, exit the April on Strength and use MAY to trade. Brent Crude can typically hold going into April. Unleaded gas acted better late in the week and trading from the long side for a rally into April and May is becoming apparent.
Soybeans and products and its products typically firm into March and early April. Buy Soymeal for spring rally into June. We are friendly June hogs for a rally into late April and May, however it’s a bit soon to tell if we are just bouncing from an oversold condition for a mid -month rally in a bear market or something that can last.. June should firm against August from 50 to 100 under to 50 to 100 over. .
A trading range is likely. Stay tuned for Livestock flashes.
Selling a sharp rally in Coffee should yield some lower prices over the next three weeks as Coffee typically makes a high point into the Ides of March. Buy a dip in cotton.
Stay tuned for additional Flashes and updates for All Markets. On to the Nitty Gritty
