“The ballot is stronger than the bullet.” Abraham Lincoln

The U.S General Election will be held on Tuesday and it’s a horserace, traders should remain nimble regarding all markets and expect more wild swings. Stay tuned for Flashes and Updates in all Markets.
The unemployment rate inched up from 7.8% in September to 7.9% in October. The lower close in October from September for the Dow was the first time since 2008. However Equity markets remain range-bound and we expect that to continue.  Most equity investors are looking for a dramatic post-election rally. Wall Street has it figured out that no matter who wins the election the Stock market will rally and it typically does. However Traders should remain nimble and be willing to trade it.

We remain broadly dollar friendly and will stay that way. Buy Dips in the Dollar, Dollar/ Yen and Sell yen futures on Rallies. Sell euro and Swiss Francs on rallies and look for a range lower and still lower prices into spring. Canadian Dollar and Aussie Dollar are a trading affair, the same goes for the Kiwi stay tuned for Forex flashes.  Friday’s declines in Gold and silver were sharp and indicate lower prices.
Ditto for copper (at least for the short term).Silver tends to make its lows near the end of November, however, it may easily test the summer lows. Sell a mid-month rally in Bean Oil and look for lows into the end of the year. Wheat tends to makes its highs now thru December and its lows in July, we want to look for a spot to sell Wheat and remain short into next year.

The Energy markets also closed badly on Friday, however geo-political worries can build quickly. We remain long but on the defensive. Be prepared to Sell rallies and Buy dips.
The rise in unemployment is not the right direction to boost meat demand.  Meat supplies are tight, but prices are very high and the high unemployment rates mean a lot of people are unable to pay the high prices.  Seasonally Cattle prices tend to firm a bit next week into the end of the month, then prices tend to get soft into mid-December. Thus look for a trading range.  Hurricane Sandy disrupted hog movement on the east coast last week and Hog prices softened a bit last week and may edge lower offering a tradable range and spreading opportunities. Stay tuned for Livestock Flashes and Updates.
