Next week could be a game changer… four Central bank meetings, China’s Manufacturing PMI, mid-term elections and two unemployment reports. Fasten your seat belt!
Look at a daily chart of December Crude; prices remained within the ascending triangle all this week. Before we reach the apex next week we expect a break lower to $77/78. On the week prices will finish virtually unchanged. Different story in natural gas as prices are above the 20 day MA for the first time in months and 15% off their lows from Monday. Our suggestion at this time is longs in December or January futures trailing stops or bull call spreads. On the December contract we could see 50-70 cents upside from here in the coming weeks.
Indices remain rangebound with the Dow H/L this week a 230 point range and the S&P trading range just over 25 points. It will take a trade below the 20 day MA for clients to add to their small bearish ES put positions. If and when, we should see prices back off 5-8%. Traders are advised to exit their bearish plays in Treasuries today; some at a loss and some at a profit depending on your positioning. We wish not to have exposure in 30-year bonds or 10-year notes into the hectic schedule next week. (more)
