Traders should stay nimble and stay tuned for flashes in all markets.
Geopolitical tensions remain elevated in front of the normal seasonal holiday period, volatility in stocks has somewhat subsided. Investors and traders should continue to hear babble government leaders, and finance representatives especially in the U.S as congress lines up to go battle with the president ‘tooth and nail’ and from various world leaders at the G-20 summit. U.S Stock Indices are higher on the year. Interest rates are at or near zero. The U.K FTSE 100 and German Dax are lower on the year.  The Bank of England revised its growth forecasts for 2015 and 2016 down a tad. The BOE expects inflation to fall to 1% in the next six months.  Traders should continue to use the volatility to trade the markets.  Forex Markets; The euro remains lower on the year. Euro typically shows signs of strength into the end of the year, however longer term downside targets are still below current levels. Several regions of Europe remain a problem and the Ukraine situation is deteriorating and may spiral out of control once again. Cable is lower on the year, downside support is 15350 to 15290 and the trading range has expanded. Resistance is above the market at 16090 to 16150. The USD/CAD has rallied and should be a bit steady now. Over the longer term, USD/CAD targets are higher, USD/CAD can back and fill now and become a trading affair.

Dollar-Yen is trading higher on the year. On the downside support is at 1150.00 and 11300 to 11360 and the nearby targets on top at 11640 to 11690 have essentially been reached a sustained move over 11690 indicates a test of 11805 and eventually 11920 to 12030. Do not rule out higher tests USD/JPY down the road.  Dollar Yen typically rises in this period, for now traders should consider Yen a trading affair. Currently Dollar / Yen is working on long term resistance going back 40 years. Long term we can see dollar-yen back up into the 140 region if that’s what the Japanese Government wants, maybe they don’t want that and it happens anyway.. The Aussie and Kiwi longer term downside targets are lower. The Kiwi and Aussie dollar are mixed on the year. Both are trading affairs. Aussie typically shows strength in the later part of November, last year the Aussie collapsed into December.

Analysis for overseas equity and foreign exchange markets are available upon request. For more detailed information or a country by county economic analysis for trading or hedging programs please call or email a request. 

Precious Metals and Energy; our analysis will roll to February for Gold and to March for Silver and Copper. Gold and Silver remain weak longer term. Gold bounced nicely from a good low at the 1136 to 1130 region and is range bound now. Gold is a trading affair and typically can firm into the end of the year.  Copper remains range bound, typically copper shows weakness into the end of the year and really has not gone anywhere.  WTI Crude Oil, Brent Crude and the products are breaking down. Energies have bounced a bit and are trading affairs.  Heating Oil and Unleaded Gas have years of price on top of the market and are now weak.  Natural Gas is showing some support, and should get some help from weather. Grains have rallied sharply and act better, however the rallies are likely unsustainable and are a trading affair now.  Livestock markets are a day to day trading affair. Typically Hogs act soft as the month ends and into next month.. Weather is also a factor in livestock and has been factored in already by the recent strength. Spreaders are beginning to buy April and Sell February Hogs. Stay tuned for flashes for all contract months in hogs.  Coffee typically firms in November / December but remains pricey. March coffee can be bought for a bounce on weakness. Sugar and Cocoa are trading affairs and act badly. Cotton continues acts rather badly and is lower on the year. Look for some support in cotton near 5800 to 5500 and likely lower.
