Friday, May 26–Jim Wyckoff’s Morning Markets Report

OVERNIGHT DEVELOPMENTS

Monday, May 15–Jim Wyckoff’s Morning Markets Report

May 15, 2017 by Jim Wyckoff

OVERNIGHT DEVELOPMENTS

World stock markets were mixed overnight. U.S. stock indexes
are pointed toward narrowly mixed openings when the New York
day session begins.

Gold prices are trading modestly higher in pre-U.S. session
trading.

The feature in the marketplace early this week is a
continuation of the recent rally in the crude oil market.
Nymex crude oil futures prices are challenging $50 a barrel
Monday morning. Reports said Saudi Arabia and Russia have
agreed to extend the current OPEC-Russia oil-production-
reduction accord by nine months. Nymex crude oil prices have
rallied around $6.00 a barrel from the May low.

The world marketplace has not reacted much to weekend news
that North Korea launched another ballistic missile and that
a major cyber-attack that started late Friday has hit
computers around the world.

The other key outside market on Monday morning sees the U.S.
dollar index trading lower. The greenback bears have the
overall near-term technical advantage.

U.S. economic data due for release Monday includes the
Empire State manufacturing survey, the NAHB housing market
index and Treasury international capital data.

likely reside just above those levels. Downside support for
active traders today is located at 2,375.00 and then at
2,360.00. Sell stops are likely located just below those
levels. Wyckoff’s Intra-day Market Rating: 5.5

Nasdaq index June futures: Prices are slightly weaker in

GRAINS

Grain futures markets were mixed overnight. Trading has been
choppy recently. Weather in the Corn Belt is non-threatening
at present, which is bearish. But weather in the Corn Belt
can “change on a dime” in the spring and summertime. Grain
market bears still have the overall near-term technical
advantage.

Jim’s Daily Hot Market–May 12

May 12, 2017 by Jim Wyckoff

 

The e-mini S&P stock index futures bulls are still in firm near-term technical command as prices earlier this week hit a contract and record high. There are no strong, early technical clues to suggest this market has topped out. However, see at the bottom of the chart that the Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD) index is poised to produce a bearish line crossover signal, whereby the blue MACD line crosses below the red trigger line. The S&P bulls may be getting tired. (“Sell in May and go away.”) Price action the next few days could be extra important for the U.S. stock indexes, from a technical perspective. Stay tuned!–Jim

Friday, May 12–Jim Wyckoff’s Morning Web Log

May 12, 2017 by Jim Wyckoff

OVERNIGHT DEVELOPMENTS

Global stock markets were mixed but mostly firmer overnight.
U.S. stock indexes are pointed toward slightly lower
openings when the New York day session begins.

The geopolitical front was quiet again this week. There were
also no major, markets-moving data points this week. Look
for fundamental inputs for markets to be on the upswing
soon.

Gold prices are posting moderate gains in pre-U.S. trading.
The gold market bulls have managed to stabilize prices late
this week, but still have work to do to negate the near-term
price downtrend.

In overnight news, Euro zone industrial output in March was
reported down 0.1% from February and up 1.9% year-on-year.
Hong Kong’s first-quarter GDP was reported up 4.3%, year-on-
year, which beat market expectations.

The key outside markets on Friday morning see the U.S.
dollar index near steady. The greenback bulls have had a
pretty good week, but the bears still have the slight
overall near-term technical advantage. Meantime, Nymex crude
oil prices are also near steady in pre-U.S. trading. Oil
prices have made a good rebound this week to suggest the
market has put in a near-term bottom. That would be good
news for the raw commodity markets, including the precious
metals.

U.S. economic data due for release Friday includes real
earnings, the consumer price index, retail sales, the
University of Michigan consumer sentiment survey, and
manufacturing and trade inventories.
