The 30 year bond auction also showed poor demand

S&P 500 (Jun 13) INTRADAY Review Yesterday’s S&P strategy worked really well with the long entry providing the support that defined the low of the US session the index bounced to find resistance right on our first profit target.

The Dow Jones continued to drive higher and posted its tenth up day in a row which has not happened since 1986. The Fed bank stress test

Negative surprise from Norges Bank – further weakening of NOK to be expected?

Review: Norges Bank lowers its interest rate path considerably. Norges Bank lowers NOK Yesterday’s interest-rate announcement came as a surprise for many. Not because Norges Bank adjusted the interest rate, but because the central bank postponed the time of an interest-rate hike from the summer of 2013 to the spring of 2014 (maybe, in actual fact, to the second or third quarter of 2014). Inflation expectations were lowered quite a lot – in line with growth expectations. Our assessment and

Yesterday’s strategy worked well

S&P 500 (Jun 13) INTRADAY Review Yesterday’s strategy worked well as we anticipated some initial downside pressure for stocks despite the very positive retail sales data from the US. The highest volume period of the day in the S&P came as EURUSD broke below last week’s low and this dragged down the S&P in a correlation move that saw the S&P print new lows and touch our long entry level. From there the index stabilised and as the dollar strength began to slow stocks were able to

No major movements to be expected

Review: Good US retail sales triggered demand for USD The US: Retail sales offered a pleasant surprise. Good economic indicators from the US still support the strengthening of USD. The good retail sales sent EURUSD to a new low for 2013. We traded at 129.23. Even though we have a long-term target of a significantly lower EURUSD for 2013, we maintain that for the short term (up to a month) EURUSD is at an oversold level. As long as EURUSD trades well above 128, we are convinced that our

FTSE 100, E-Mini S&P

Forecast for 14th March 2013 FTSE 100 March contract FTSE took a tumble towards ‘firm support at 6431’ & bounced just above at 6436. We now need to hold above 6479 support for a test of 6496 resistance which held the bounce nicely yesterday. We push on today for 6520/25 as the next target. A break above 6530 could then test the high for 2008 seen on the 4th Jan at 6547. Support today at 6479/78 but below here look for 6465 then 6453/50 which should hold any weakness now. If we cannot hold
