The S&P emini futures have seen a “key reversal” down on the daily bar chart that occurred last Friday negated with this week’s upside price action. It appears risk aversion in the global marketplace has at least temporarily subsided following last week’s geopolitical shockwave that occurred when a U.S. drone strike killed a leading Iranian general in Baghdad, Iraq.

Other veteran market watchers reckon Iran will retaliate against the U.S. but not right away. However, virtually all market participants agree the U.S. drone strike further stokes and already volatile Middle East. Stay tuned!–Jim
