Daily Gold Report

Sean LuskGeneral Commentary

Gold hit a near two-month peak on Wednesday, after North Korea said it is considering an attack on the U.S. Pacific territory of Guam and U.S. president Donald Trump boasted of the strength of the American nuclear arsenal. The tensions rattled through global markets, sending investors out of equities and into the safety of the yen, Swiss franc, and government debt. …

Ag Commentary

John WalshGrains

There is not much to say going home tonight. The market was essentially either side of unchanged all day. the USDA will release its report on Thursday. This will drive direction in my opinion.

Triangulating: September Crude Oil

John LunneyGeneral Commentary

September Crude Oil      The oil contract has not of yet broken out of what I am labeling a (iv) wave triangle formation. The trigger points on the upside are the 49.83 potential (d) wave high.

Stable?: Focus September Soybeans

John LunneyGeneral Commentary

September Soybeans      In today’s action the market failed to hold above the 971 level and instead slipped to test lower speed-line support just under 961 posting a low at 960.2 before rising to settle at 966.

Not As Simple as A-B-C: September Crude Oil

John LunneyGeneral Commentary

Last week I wrote of an observed a-b-c correction unfolding. This turned out to be incorrect as the market has instead chopped around in sideways action to be forming what appears to be a (iv) wave triangle. If the pullback from today’s high of 49.79 is to become the final (e) in the formation it will have to hold up …

Unclear Structure: Focus September Soybeans

John LunneyGeneral Commentary

September Soybeans      Analyzing the structural nature of the advance stemming from the lows of last week it is difficult for me to label it as impulsive.
