Daily Morning Report

Less risk aversion so far this week

September 15, 2021 by Jim Wyckoff

Wednesday, September 15–Jim Wyckoff’s Morning Markets Report

Global stock markets were mostly weaker in overnight trading. The U.S. stock indexes are pointed to modestly higher openings when the New York day session begins. There is less risk aversion in the marketplace so far this week, half-way through what can be the tumultuous month of September. 

In overnight news, China’s industrial output in August was reported up 5.3%, year-on-year, which was slightly below market expectations.

The key outside markets today see the U.S. dollar index lower again. Nymex crude oil futures prices higher, hit a six-week high, and are trading around $71.50 a barrel.  Oil prices have been rising recently as Hurricane Ida’s aftermath sees around 40% of crude oil production in the Gulf of Mexico still off-line, with 48% of natural gas production off-line. Meantime, the yield on the benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury note is presently fetching 1.28%. 

U.S. economic data due for release Wednesday includes the weekly MBA mortgage applications survey, the Empire State manufacturing survey, import and export prices, industrial production and capacity utilization, and the weekly DOE liquid energy stocks report.

GRAINS

U.S. grain futures were higher overnight. Bulls are having a good week, so far. If the grain markets can show more price strength this week, such would suggest that “harvest lows” may have come early this year. But right now the corn and soybean market bears still have the overall near-term technical advantage and the wheat bulls have faded, too.  

IMPORTANT NOTE: I am not a futures broker and do not manage any trading accounts other than my own personal account. It is my goal to point out to you potential trading opportunities. However, it is up to you to: (1) decide when and if you want to initiate any traders and (2) determine the size of any trades you may initiate. Any trades I discuss are hypothetical in nature.

Here is what the Commodity Futures Trading Commission

(CFTC) has said about futures trading (and I agree 100%): 1. Trading commodity futures and options is not for everyone. IT IS A VOLATILE, COMPLEX AND RISKY BUSINESS. Before you invest any money in futures or options contracts, you should consider your financial experience, goals and financial resources, and know how much you can afford to lose above and beyond your initial payment to a broker. You should understand commodity futures and options contracts and your obligations in entering into those contracts. You should understand your exposure to risk and other aspects of trading by thoroughly reviewing the risk disclosure documents your broker is required to give you.

Crude oil bulls make progress

September 13, 2021 by Jim Wyckoff

The Nymex crude oil market bulls have come back to life as prices early this week hit a five-week high. Bulls have the firm overall near-term technical advantage but there is a stiff layer of resistance that lies just above the market, which will make the going tougher for the bulls, if they try to extend the current rally. Stay tuned!

U.S. CPI data awaited

September 13, 2021 by Jim Wyckoff

Monday, September 13–Jim Wyckoff’s Morning Markets Report

Global stock markets were mostly firmer in overnight trading. The U.S. stock indexes are pointed to higher openings when the New York day session begins. The stock markets are seeing bounces early this week after last week’s poor performances.

In overnight news, North Korea said it fired a tactical test missile that traveled nearly 1,000 miles. That’s a reminder to the world that the rogue nation is still on the geopolitical radar screen.

Trader attention early this week is on the U.S. consumer price index report for August, set for release Tuesday morning. The CPI is forecast up 0.4% after a rise of 0.5% in July. Year-on-year the CPI is seen up 5.4% in August—the same as July. Said Bloomberg news in a morning email dispatch: “On the raw-materials side, the price pressures are becoming increasingly hard to ignore with aluminum hitting the highest level in 13 years. Oil is back above $70 a barrel this morning. Producers are pushing the higher prices through to consumers as they battle with the increased costs of raw materials, shipping bottlenecks and rising labor expenses.”

Meantime, President Biden continues to try to push his major spending plan through the Congress but is hitting road-blocks.

The key outside markets today see the U.S. dollar index higher. Nymex crude oil futures prices are higher and trading around $70.75 a barrel. Meantime, the yield on the benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury note is presently fetching 1.334%. 

U.S. economic data due for release Monday is light and includes the monthly Treasury budget statement.

Look for sell stops just below technical support at $70.00 and then at the overnight low of $69.51. Wyckoff’s Intra-Day Market Rating: 6.0

GRAINS

U.S. grain futures were lower overnight. Last Friday morning’s USDA supply and demand report was mostly bearish but corn and soybeans showed good corrective bounces. Key will be if those markets can show follow-through buying interest early this week. So far, that does not look to be the case. The corn and soybean market bears still have the overall near-term technical advantage and the wheat bulls are fading, too. Technical damage has been inflicted in corn, wheat and soybeans recently, to suggest the path of least resistance for those markets is still sideways to lower in the near term. Seasonal weakness is also a negative for the grains, amid the just-completed U.S. wheat harvest and the soon-to-begin soybean and corn harvests.

Better risk appetite to end trading week

September 10, 2021 by Jim Wyckoff

Friday, September 10–Jim Wyckoff’s Morning Markets Report

Global stock markets were mostly firmer in overnight trading. The U.S. stock indexes are pointed to higher openings when the New York day session begins. It’s been a choppy week for the U.S. stock market. After some risk aversion exhibited earlier this week, traders and investors appear to be more upbeat to end the trading week. 

In overnight news, Dow Jones Newswires reported the Federal Reserve will likely begin to gradually taper its $120 billion a month bond-buying program (quantitative easing) in November.

Reports said Deutsche Bank AG has joined other investment banks in urging caution on investors continuing to load up on U.S. stocks. The Nasdaq and S&P 500 stock indexes have recently hit record highs. The investment bank warned there is increased risk of an equity market correction as stock valuations have risen to around 21 times earnings.

The key outside markets today see the U.S. dollar index slightly weaker. Nymex crude oil futures prices are higher and trading around $69.25 a barrel. Meantime, the yield on the benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury note is presently fetching 1.312%. 

U.S. President Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping had a lengthy telephone conversation Thursday in an effort to ease tensions between the world’s two largest economies. The marketplace is reading that as a positive development.

U.S. economic data due for release Friday includes the producer price index and monthly wholesale trade. There is also an important USDA supply and demand report for grains.

EURO CURRENCY

The December Euro currency futures are slightly up in early U.S. trading. Bears still have the overall near-term technical advantage but bulls are still working on a fledgling price uptrend on the daily chart. The shorter-term moving averages for the Euro are neutral early today, as the 4-day is below the 9-day. The 9-day is above the 18-day moving average.

Look for sell stops just below technical support at $68.00 and then at this week’s low of $67.56. Wyckoff’s Intra-Day Market Rating: 6.0

GRAINS

U.S. grain futures were a bit firmer overnight. The major report of the week, if not the month, for the grain markets is Friday morning’s USDA supply and demand report. Look for higher volatility in the immediate aftermath of the noon EDT report. Weekly USDA grain export sales data is also out Friday morning. The corn and soybean market bears have the overall near-term technical advantage and the wheat bulls are fading, too. Technical damage has been inflicted in corn, wheat and soybeans recently, to suggest the path of least resistance for those markets will be sideways to lower in the near term. Seasonal weakness is also a negative for the grains, amid the just-completed U.S. wheat harvest and the soon-to-begin soybean and corn harvests.

IMPORTANT NOTE: I am not a futures broker and do not manage any trading accounts other than my own personal account. It is my goal to point out to you potential trading opportunities.
