In the news today:
I can still recall back 5-6 years ago, when N. Korea made any mention of its nuclear program Gold would jump $20-$30oz. Not so these days as Israel and Hamas are firing actual rockets at each other now. However, I believe this is the market to watch in the coming months.
Emini S&P
<
Market Comments: I see a possible short entry, and will wait till Monday for confirmation. Short from 1350-1352, protective stop at 1360. Target 4-6pts.
Gold
Market Comments: I am a bit surprised this market isn’t trading $50-$100 higher due to fundamentals. However as they say the turtle wins the race. It’s a bit trick, due to the sideways action, will have to wait for better confirmation of which direction.
Crude
Market Comments: Once again, this market is lackluster at best. Sideways chop seems to be the theme this week. Look for possible entry around the 84.70 area, not risking more than .25-.50 cents depending on your account size.
Wrap-up comments: Pre-election I personally haven’t traded much and continue to hold till I have a more definitive direction in the markets. If my volume is any indication, I’d have to say most of you are in the same trading pattern.
