Fed Watch

John WeyerGeneral Commentary

Air of concern The equity indices while moving higher, seem a bit cautious this week . Tax reform and healthcare legislation are still out there hanging over everyone’s head, but the markets have seemed to move higher all year in spite of those concerns.  We are in crunch time (or so have been told) for picking the next Chair for …

Coffee, Meats- shorts blow?

Alan PalmerGeneral Commentary

Cattle- 120.65 is very big level to me.  This is where I find players out of step (short covering).  FEB APRIL are different and violating  but Feb has short term targets here at time of print.  FEB today- 125.87 and 126.35 are targets and live now. HOGS- We are not staying here 65.16, and the now old 64.40 are levels …

Daily Gold Report

Sean LuskGeneral Commentary

Gold and silver futures slipped slightly on Tuesday as equity markets continue their upward ascent while the Dollar has remained firm to start the week. A quieter world geopolitical scene is making for little trader/investor risk aversion in the marketplace at present, and that’s bearish for the safe-haven gold and silver markets. Traders seem to be looking ahead to Thursday, when the …

Stampeded? : December Live Cattle

John LunneyGeneral Commentary

December Live Cattle     I have to admit I was caught flat footed by the December Live Cattle market today. Having been in step with this market from the lows of 106.725 this was perhaps the first instance where I have failed to accurately assess the markets next price move. Before today I have been calling for a corrective …

Coffee Sugar High, SXWZ ! DOW EXPLODES 200 UP AGAIN

Alan PalmerGeneral Commentary

A few charts from where markets launch sometimes at levels or lines.  Olive colored are the babies to pay attention to.  It is where traders get stuck the wrong way.  I have limited time to comment on all situations but if you want to get my attention in these erratically fast turns and patterns that follow, Let me explain what …

Branded ” B ” : December Live Cattle

John LunneyGeneral Commentary

December Live Cattle      The bearish tones of the last Friday’s post close report sent a ripple through the live cattle market in early trading.
