‘Fortune Favors the Bold’

Saturday September 22, 2012
4:00 AM South Florida Beach Time

Stay tuned for Flashes and Updates in all Markets.

Equities; as ‘end of quarter and end of month window dressing’ comes into play traders should be nimble.  We expect US presidential polling and a plethora of babble associated with the results to increase volatility in the stock market. Additionally equity traders should note the extreme breakdown of the Transportation averages. While it may not mean much to the average trader, it is not a good sign and begs the question; if QE is meant to raise asset prices and the Fed has been explicit about stock prices then why have the transports broken under the July Lows and is now lower on the year ?
Look for bonds to show upward bias.

Forex markets; Japanese Yen strength is overdone, typically Dollar Yen makes its lows into the October November period and exhibits strength into Spring… Buy Dollar Yen and Look to Sell Yen futures. Additionally look for renewed flight to safety amid slow growth concerns to lend support to the dollar, seasonally the dollar tends to make a low in late September and Early October. This weekend Eurozone officials are letting the markets know they will ‘Lever’ the ESM to about Two Trillion Euros, obviously everything done so far is not enough and problems remain, the euro remains a trading affair. Failure to maintain a higher bias over 13100 is negative. Cable Strength is late September and Early October should lead to lower prices in November. Buy nearby dips but be prepared to sell and Hold. Stay tuned for flashes in Forex Markets
Precious Metals; Seasonally Copper tends to dip into October and November, Sell rallies or just plain Sell. Gold appears overdone a bit to the upside, While Deflation concerns and slowing global growth can lead to setbacks traders can buy a dip for trading. Silver acted sloppy last week, typically silver turn friendly after weakness in October. Silver bulls perhaps should wait for lower prices; nimble traders can sell a rally, but use tight stops.

Energy markets; While Unleaded Gas and Crude can end September sloppy, the decline appears overdone and crude oil can move into October with some strength, remain long and trade from the long side over the near term…

Agricultural Markets; While we remain negative for the short term in sugar, traders can sell a rally and look for a low into early October that can lead to higher prices into mid to late October… thus trade from both sides. Traders can buy dips in coffee and Sell rallies in cotton, Cocoa normally acts lousy during October and should get some Harvest Pressure Sell a rally. Cattle should show some ability to hold up on declines, Buy December and April Cattle on Dips. We remain negative to hogs and look for trading opportunities for both back end and front month December, buying back-end hogs and selling front end should provide work as December hogs can grind lower into Autumn after the September strength erodes, stay tuned for livestock updates and flashes..  Grain markets are correcting during harvest and can be traded from both sides as harvest pressure usually is followed by higher markets….. Wheat is expensive compared to the rest of the world but typically does not top until November or December and we prefer to buy a dip.  Stay tuned for flashes.
