Daily Morning Report

Markets weigh new U.S. stimulus package, higher taxes

January 15, 2021 by Jim Wyckoff

Friday, January 15–Jim Wyckoff’s Morning Markets Report

Global stock markets were mixed overnight. U.S. stock indexes are also pointed toward weaker openings when the New York day session begins. Selling pressure in the stock markets is being mitigated by news that President-Elect Biden will implement a $1.9 trillion stimulus plan for Americans hit by the pandemic that includes bigger stimulus payments. However, the marketplace also realizes that higher personal and corporate taxes are very likely under the Biden administration. That and lingering uncertainty ahead of the U.S. change of presidential power next week is keeping the marketplace tentative.

A feature in the markets on Thursday was Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s speech and question-and-answer session at Princeton University. Powell said he expects a strong U.S. economic recovery beginning later in 2021, and added that inflation levels could rise. The “inflation trade” has been in the spotlight early this year, as evidenced by rallying commodity markets like the grains, crude oil, copper and others.

The key “outside markets” today see the U.S. dollar index higher. Meantime, Nymex crude oil futures prices are lower and are trading around $52.75 a barrel. The yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note stands at 1.107%.

It’s a busy day for U.S. economic data releases Friday, including the Empire State manufacturing survey, retail sales, the producer price index, industrial production and capacity utilization and the University of Michigan consumer sentiment survey.

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.

Major bull runs in grains kick into higher gear

January 14, 2021 by Jim Wyckoff

The grain futures markets are in an uncommon major bull run as corn, soybeans and wheat all hit six or seven year highs this week. Corn is the leader of the move, so watch that market closely, as it will likely lead on the upside and the downside. The parabolic, or nearly vertical price move in corn does suggest a major bull market that is in its late stage. Stay tuned!– Jim

Markets still a bit edgy late-week

January 14, 2021 by Jim Wyckoff

Thursday, January 14–Jim Wyckoff’s Morning Markets Report

Global stock markets were mixed overnight. U.S. stock indexes are also pointed toward mixed openings when the New York day session begins. The marketplace is tentative late this week following the U.S. House of Representatives impeachment of President Trump for an unprecedented second time. Trump has less than one week left in his term as president. The marketplace remains a bit edgy ahead of the inauguration of Joe Biden as the next U.S. president next Wednesday, as a massive show of U.S. national guard and other security forces are already in Washington, D.C.

Reports say that today President-Elect Biden will announce an up to $2 trillion stimulus plan for Americans hit by the pandemic. This news did limit selling interest in the global stock markets overnight and U.S. Treasury bond yields did tick up a bit.

Traders will be watching Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s speech at Princeton University at midday today. Several other Fed officials also are slated to speak Thursday.

The key “outside markets” today see the U.S. dollar index slightly lower. Meantime, Nymex crude oil futures prices are slightly lower and are trading around $52.75 a barrel. The yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note stands at 1.114%.

U.S. economic data due for release Thursday includes the weekly jobless claims report, import and export prices.

Marketplace still tentative at mid-week

January 13, 2021 by Jim Wyckoff

Wednesday, January 13–Jim Wyckoff’s Morning Markets Report

Global stock markets were mixed overnight. U.S. stock indexes are pointed toward slightly lower openings when the New York day session begins. Focus today is on the U.S. House of Representatives that is set to impeach President Trump for an unprecedented second time. Trump has one week left in his term as president. The marketplace remains a bit anxious ahead of the inauguration of Joe Biden as the next president, amid extremists’ threats of violence across the U.S.

The U.S. data point of the day at mid-week is the consumer price index for December, seen coming in at up 0.4% from November and compares to a rise of 0.2% for November. Year-on-year the December CPI is seen up 1.3% versus up 1.2% in November. These numbers are not at all problematic for inflation, despite recent talk of rising and even problematic inflation in the coming months.

The key “outside markets” today see the U.S. dollar index higher. Meantime, Nymex crude oil futures prices are slightly higher, hit another 10-month high overnight, and are trading around $53.40 a barrel. The yield on the benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note stands at 1.126%.

U.S. economic data due for release Wednesday includes the weekly MBA mortgage applications survey, the consumer price index, real earnings, the Federal Reserve’s beige book, the monthly Treasury budget statement and the weekly DOE liquid energy stocks report.

Gold market takes a near-term hit

January 12, 2021 by Jim Wyckoff

The gold market has taken a hit recently as its near-term price uptrend has been soundly negated. Bears still have some near-term technical momentum to suggest more sideways-to-lower trading action in the near term. Importantly, the longer-term technical posture for gold remains bullish.

Marketplace weighing the good and the bad

January 12, 2021 by Jim Wyckoff

Tuesday, January 12–Jim Wyckoff’s Morning Markets Report

Global stock markets were mostly higher overnight. U.S. stock indexes are pointed toward firmer openings when the New York day session begins. Traders and investors are weighing the positives of the likely end to the surge of the Covid-19 pandemic by springtime and vaccinations shifting into high gear, as well as big U.S. government spending programs being implemented by the Democrat-controlled Congress, against the uncertainties that lie just ahead: a possible Trump impeachment, potential civil unrest in the U.S. in the next couple weeks, and the pandemic in the U.S. and other nations still being at or close to its deadliest.

A feature in the marketplace just recently has been rising U.S. Treasury yields. Read that rising interest rates. The benchmark U.S. 10-year Treasury note yield is currently fetching 1.16%. For more than a decade Americans have not had to worry about high interest rates. Make no mistake, U.S. bond yields at present are nowhere near worrisomely high levels that might suggest high inflation. However, it’s the trajectory of the yields that is raising eyebrows and merits continued close observation. High inflation is usually the enemy of the stock markets and the friend of commodity markets.

The key “outside markets” today see the U.S. dollar index near steady. Meantime, Nymex crude oil futures prices are higher, hit a 10-month high overnight, and are trading around $53.00 a barrel.

U.S. economic data due for release Tuesday includes the weekly Goldman Sachs and Johnson Redbook retail sales reports, the NFIB small business index, USDA supply and demand reports, and the IDB/TIPP economic optimism index.

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.
