2:00 AM, South Florida Beach Time

Traders should stay nimble and stay tuned for a plethora of flashes in all markets.  During the normal seasonal holiday period investors and traders should continue to hear babble government leaders, and finance representatives. U.S Stock Indices are higher on the year. Interest rates are at or near zero and the Central Bank of China lowered its interest rates. Traders should prepare for volatility and continue to trade the markets. Forex Markets; the euro remains lower on the year. The Euro’s typical strength into the end of the year is muted and waning, longer term downside targets are well below current levels. Cable is lower on the year, downside support is 15350 to 15290 and the trading range has expanded. Resistance is above the market at 16090 to 16150. The USD/CAD is mixed and higher on the year, longer term targets are higher. CAD/USD has become a trading affair and is sensitive to the decline in oil prices.   Dollar-Yen is trading higher on the year. On the downside support is at 116.90 to 116.40 and 115.00, the targets on top are 11920 to 12030.

Do not rule out higher tests USD/JPY down the road. Dollar Yen typically rises into the end of the year, however traders should consider Yen a trading affair. Dollar/Yen continues to work on long term resistance going back forty years.  Considering Japanese long term trend GDP growth is a mere one–half of one percent, dollar yen could easily end up in the 160’s a decade from now. Japan’s leaders can fix the problems, but it will take lots of work. Some of which the regions other nations may not like.. The Aussie and Kiwi longer term downside targets are lower. The Aussie reached a 4 year low this past week and bounced. Both the Kiwi and Aussie dollar are down on the year.  While Aussie typically shows strength in the later part of November, last year the Aussie collapsed into December and now is a trading affair.

Analysis for overseas equity and foreign exchange markets are available upon request. For more detailed information or a country by county economic analysis for trading or hedging programs please call or email a request.  

Precious Metals and Energy; Gold and Silver remain weak longer term, Gold has bounced from a good low at the 1136 to 1130 region and is range bound now and is unchanged on the year. Gold is a trading affair, typically firm’s into the end of the year and is acting badly now. Copper remains weak
and is breaking down below the lows of the past several years. Traders should probably begin to prepare for lower prices, well down into the 250’s if nothing changes.  WTI Crude Oil, Brent Crude and the products are accelerating downwards.  Energies bounced a bit after the rate cut from China and subsequently have collapsed. Heating Oil and Unleaded Gas have years of price on top of the market and weak.  Natural Gas shows some support. Nat Gas got some help from weather and then backed off.  Grains are trading affairs now. We want to sell a rally in Beans and look at bear spreads buying the back and selling the front in preparation for weakness into February. Livestock markets are a day to day trading affair. Typically Hogs act soft as the month ends and into early December. Seasonally cattle can dip into December. Live cattle futures and cash cattle reached the 173 level we mentioned in this newsletter months ago. Live Cattle is now pricey. Coffee typically firms in December but remains pricey. Sugar and Cocoa are trading affairs, sugar acts badly. Cotton continues to act badly but has bounced, cotton is lower on the year, Cotton did bounce of the 5800 region. Look for some support in cotton near 5800 to 5500, perhaps lower and a trading range for now.
