The main purpose of the stock market is to make fools of as many men as possible. — Bernard Baruch.

Saturday February 13th 2016

7:00 AM, South Florida Beach Time

U.S. Equities yearly work remains neutral. The quarterly work is rolling over and monthly work remains negative. U.S. Treasury futures made new contract highs last week and pulled back on

Friday. Geo-political risks and volatility is likely to remain high. Contact our office if you need analysis for global equities, foreign exchange markets or commodities not covered today. During February 26th to February 27th the G-20 will hold a meeting of finance ministers and central bank governors in Shanghai.

Forex Markets; The U.S. dollar index is lower on the year and unchanged to a little higher against January 2015. The euro is slightly higher on the year and unchanged from January 2015, so far the 11300 to 11360 region has been rejected. Support is now 11010 to 10960. Pick your poison. Cable downside targets remain near 13830 to 13750. Resistance above the market remains at 14590 and 14849 to 14960. Traders should consider selling rallies. The USD/CAD volitity is high and has become a trading affair, the long term trend remains up. Conversely the Canadian Dollar futures long term trend is down. The Bank of Japan’s (BOJ) switch to negative rates has not worked well. To put it bluntly the Nikkei 225 is a blithering mess, the long term work has rolled over. The Dollar-Yen is lower on the year and year over year. Watch out for volatility. The Aussie and Kiwi long term downside targets remain lower and are trading affairs.
Precious Metals; Gold and Silver are higher on the year, both rallied nicely over the last few weeks. We did not buy gold nor silver during the donnybrook we witnessed over the last two weeks. We have been short stock indices in one manner or another, maintaining both short stock indices and long precious metals provided undue risk. Copper is still a mess, nothing has changed.

 

Energies; Crude Oil has created a wide trading range after accelerating to the downside once again and along with Natural Gas have years of price on top of the market. The last ‘declaration’ by OPEC countries to hold talks produced a good rally a few months back and then was most likely sold into by the very sovereigns who wanted to cut production. Crude Oil and the products are trading affairs. April Natural Gas made new contract lows on Friday and closed a little above lows. Nothing has changed.

 

Grains; March Soymeal traded at new contract lows on Thursday. Soybean Oil is trading firm and can remain that way into March and April. Aggressive traders can buy dips with tight stops. Soybeans are trading either side year end levels. Soybeans typically firm up at this time of year, however soybeans remain a trading affair. Soybean supplies are still at record highs. Wheat typically drifts lower into July. Wheat should be sold on a good rally. Corn is essentially unchanged on the year and is trading affair based on which the wind blows for planting intentions, weather and exports.

 

Livestock; Cattle futures are lower on the year and year over year. Sell cattle on rallies. Traders should stay tuned for day to day Lean Hogs trades. We are long June and Short April. Consider livestock markets a trading affair, and stay tuned for livestock flashes and updates.

 

Soft Commodities; Coffee is lower on the year and unchanged on the month. Nothing has changed. Sugar remains is unchanged on the month and is lower on the year and year over year.

Stay tuned for flashes.
Cotton is lower on the year and on the month. May Cotton traded at new contract lows Thursday and any rally should be sold and a hair little above where prices were a year ago at the end of January 2015. The long term Cocoa charts have rolled over. Sell rallies and try to get short, probably for the next 16 to 24 months.                                        On to the Nitty Gritty.
