Stay tuned for Flashes and Updates in all Markets.

Equities; The ‘end of quarter and end of month window dressing’ was weak. The First week of the new quarter and new month is now behind the market and Traders should be nimble.  The NASDAQ appears to have run into a wall, Look for a dip into mid-month.

Forex markets; seasonally the dollar tends to make a low in Early October. Dollar Yen normally makes its lows into the October November period and exhibits strength into spring. Buy Dollar Yen and Look to Sell Yen futures. Buying Canadian Dollar against Yen should also work. However we see Canuck Upside against the dollar abating into late October and November. Cable Strength from late September and Early October appear to be abating and we should see lower prices in November.  Prepare to sell and Hold.  Aussie Dollar remains under pressure, sell rallies.
Stay tuned for flashes in All Forex Markets.  
Precious Metals; Copper tends to dip into October and November, Sell rallies. Gold appears overdone a bit to the upside, look for two way trading. Silver acted sloppy on Friday, Silver bulls should wait for lower prices nimble traders can sell a rally, but use tight stops.

Energy markets; While Unleaded Gas and Heating Oil are firm, Crude is acting sloppy. Crude Oil’s decline appears overdone and crude can move into mid -October with some strength, remain long. Trade from the long side over the near term and look for increased Geo-Political risk to support Crude.
Buy a dip in Unleaded Gas and Heating Oil.

Agricultural Markets; Cattle should show some ability to hold up on declines and “should’ is a big if as
Cattle appears heading toward a test of the summer lows, consumer resistance to higher prices is and will remain an impediment to higher prices… We remain negative to hogs and look for trading opportunities as the strength erodes, stay tuned for livestock updates and flashes.  Grain markets have corrected, harvest is over as the first frosts and first hard freezes are coming, attention will now turn to South American crops and world supply and demand. Wheat is expensive compared to the rest of the world, Wheat typically tops during November or December.  Stay tuned for flashes.
