Pre-Market Brief

Good morning. Futures are slightly lower, sp -1pt, we're set to open around 1845. Equity bulls face continued problems as the market is getting increasingly rattled from both geo-political and economic concerns. Metals are higher, Gold +$3, with Silver +1.5%

Summary

*the above is just one of the scenarios I will be keeping in mind early next week. It is a favourite though, since a re-short on a RS bounce would make for a rather easy trade setup.

So...it has been an interesting week, today won't likely be boring!

If we can hold the 50 day MA - currently sp'1828, and bounce early next week, then I'll consider shorting any bounce into next Wednesday. Until then, I want to give the bulls another chance to push back higher.

Morning doom report from Hunter



I will agree with Hunter that is it odd to see Obama do spoof interviews, whilst the Russians are massing troops.

Good wishes for Friday trading!


8.29am... futures starting to slip.... sp -4pts.... 1842

9.00am... sp -2pts... 1844..... the recent action is in metals... Gold +$9, Silver 2.6%


9.12am.. so...lets see if we fall sp -12pts ...to 1834...and then hold by 11am or so.

A weekly close <1863..will be the first warning of trouble...and bears look likely to achieve that today.


9.42am.. black-fail candle on the VIX.... equity bears..have a problem right now.
