“If the Creator had a purpose in equipping us with a neck,he surely meant for us to stick it out.”— Arthur Koestler

Friday August 22, 2014 

10:00 PM, South Florida Beach Time.

Ball-on-a-silver-pedestalTraders should stay nimble and stay tuned for flashes. Geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe and the Mideast remain the same perhaps a bit elevated in Asia. Stock Indices are generally up on the year.  However the once leading edge of the rally, the Russell 2000 remains lower on the year by a smidgen.  Interest rates remain at essentially at zero. So far no policy change has come from the U.S Federal reserve and all the talk is essentially babble.  Long term support for the Dow is well below the prevailing recent trading ranges.  In Forex Markets the Euro remains lower on the year.  Longer term downside targets are well below the current levels. ECB president Draghi said on Friday ‘exchange rate movements should support aggregate demand and inflation’ the big word is ‘should’ and he feels the policy path of the U.S and the Euro zone are diverging enough to support current exchange rate trends.. The ECB president makes decisions on rate policy for the Euro as well as the exchange rate. The President of the U.S decides policy on the dollar not the Federal Reserve where decisions are made regarding interest rates and money supply. So far the White House has not chimed in and is not likely to comment on dollar exchange rates.  Europe is on its’ own here and the ECB has the tools to do what it needs to do. So far STILL more talk than action. They should print more euros and spend a little more domestically with additional government spending, since once in a while they pay handsomely to the terrorists upon demand. Sell Rallies in Euro as it enters a more trading affair period… Cable is now unchanged on the year.  Cable has support at year end levels 16550 to 16420 below that we really see no support until the 16150 to 16090 region.  Perhaps if cable reaches down to 15760 to 15690 the BOE will reignite chatter about rate hikes. USD/CAD is still broadly range bound.  Forex traders should look for a dip against 10680 to 10580 to buy.  The near term upside target for USD/CAD at 10960 to 11010 has been met. Over the longer term target remain higher.

 

The Dollar-Yen remains has pushed thru to the upside and 10360 to 10320 is now a support region with an upside objective of 10580 to 10680.  Traders and investors are looking for more stimulus measures from the Government of Japan to help the economy grow. The Japanese stock markets are a tad higher on the year. Rates are essentially zero in Japan, population data is broadly negative and the GDP to debt ratio is higher any nation in Europe and more than twice the OECD average. Domestic savers via pensions and corporations in Japan have financed the debt over a very long period. However, due to the population decline the domestic side at some point will not have sufficient funds from the household sector to invest in Japanese government securities… So Japan is tenuous at best long term, something to think about.. Russia does not have to worry about population and birth rates declines as much as Japan or Germany. Russia will absorb other nations over the coming years and beyond. The word ‘nations’ is plural and is not a mistype.

 

Over in China, growth is meek at best…historically well under the last two decades and just last week  a U.S military jet was nearly sideswiped by a Chinese fighter Jet . Increased tensions in that region have risen.  Apple should consider moving production out of China as soon as possible…move the 500,000 jobs to the U.S.A. On the bright side Chinese investors and economists are looking for more stimulative measures from the PBOC.

 

We remain slightly negative on the Aussie and Kiwi. Downside targets are lower. However this does not preclude spikes to the upside for both. Trade cautiously and stay tuned for flashes.

Analysis for a variety overseas equity and foreign exchange markets is now available upon request,
for more detailed information or additional economic analysis please call or email a request.

Precious Metals and Energy; Gold and silver remain range-bound, copper acted better this week. However copper appears to be still range bound between the mid to high 3.20’s and 3.00.
Crude is also trading affair. Supplies are ample for now….

However we do expect that to change over the next year. Geopolitical risk to supply has marginally increased and we expect risk to become far greater over the next year or two.  For instance Iraq just six months ago was expected to pump 6 million barrels a day within a year or two, its output is declining to under 3 million a day now. You can shelve the ideas of increased production if a lengthy civil war sets in. Iran’s nuclear ambitions are not going to stop. Iran is not on the radar now but we expect it will be… So expect sanctions over the next year and more Iranian production declines.  Libyan Oil is production is having trouble coming back online. The North Sea is like looking at a glass of water 3/4 empty.  Surprise production issues may surface in Nigeria. Especially If the Ebola Virus forces cordoning off areas in that nation. The “fencing off’ of villages in Liberia is now occurring.

No one in or out. People simply left to die by the thousands. (not to mention the lower price levels of crude oil causing Nigeria issues financing the Nigerian debt.)

 

The World Health Organization (WHO) has stated the virus will “at some point be contained.  “Meanwhile is not… and the doctors are getting sick.

 

On the bright side for oil production, positive growth of oil supplies has come from the U.S.

The current Oil production boom is one I spoke about many times on ‘The Bill Chippas Show’ years ago. That growth is likely in a leveling off period now after substantial growth.  New offshore oil finds in the America’s offer plentiful supplies. However off shore oil production increases in Mexico and the U.S is getting expensive at current crude oil prices compared to when crude oil was ramping higher several years back.  Therefore if crude oil nears cost of production (once again) at lower levels than current prevailing prices, long term traders and institutional desks should begin to prepare to buy crude for the next year or two. Buying the back end months make some sense because they are liquid and one can to avoid the dilly- dally with a roll every month considering the prospects of another super spike is real.

Use the weakness to get long for the next year or two. Short term and medium term traders should continue to consider crude oil a trading affair. To facilitate the long term prospects in Oil and other opportunities our Premier Service will begin tracking trades in a multiple markets after labor-day of 2014… All information will posted on the website and sent out shortly.

Getting back to the here and now, we still think April Cattle is basing and a grind higher into the fall and winter is a possible. The upside targets if it holds and surprises the shorts is a test of 17310 to 17380 and that’s a big if. Cold Storage supplies were a bit negative and Cattle on Feed on Friday were neutral to a tad bearish.  Cash Cattle traded near 1.55 last week , cattle closed higher on Friday. February Hogs typically make lows into this time frame. Buying February Hogs and Selling October Hogs near 7.50 / 8.00 should work. CBOT wheat typically has made the low for the year by now. However Wheat supplies remain ample and Wheat sold off sharply into the close on Friday still closing higher on the day but losing most of its gains in the last few minutes. Nearby Soybean and Soymeal Spreads have blown out to the upside as the last stages of the Soybean supply shortage over the last year or two runs its course. Sell rallies in November Soybeans and get ready for a large crop.  Corn supplies are ample. However while U.S corn has dropped substantially, drought problems in China has caused Chinese Corn prices to rally sharply which is the complete opposite of U.S. Corn. Both Corn and Pork prices in China have risen dramatically over the last six weeks.  Nearby Coffee spreads have collapsed, which is near term negative. Longer term its can hold on a sharp break, retail prices are risen. Sugar is trying to hold its lower long term support and is slightly lower on the year and is likely a buy once again for another attempt at 19.00 to 20.00. As the ‘Drums of War’ beat slowly this is  probably a good time to buy ‘Guns and Butter’ ahead of the crowd.  Buy March Sugar, the peak of harvest in Brazil is now and should act better once it gets thru this period.  Cotton acts better. If cotton holds up it may leave the area and trade back to higher levels for a bit. Cocoa sold off a bit and looks to be digesting its gains and acts sloppy.
