Grain Futures-- The grain market closed higher today with November soybeans up 25 cents to finish on the highs of the trading session at 13.30 a bushel all due to a sharply weaker U.S dollar this week with planting problems as well. Corn futures for the December contract were higher by 11 cents currently trading at 5.59 a bushel after filling the gap at 5.40 yesterday which I stated I thought prices would come back down and fill that important price level but corn still remains choppy. I am bearish the new crop soybeans & corn because I do think this weather is good for crop conditions in the long run with the weather improving in the Midwest with warmer temperatures and no rain in the forecast for several days. What a difference a year makes as last year we were basically 95° almost every single day while this year is extremely wet and cold which could push prices lower in my opinion.

Precious Metal Futures--- The precious metals sold off this Friday afternoon with gold in the August contract continuing its choppy trade down $20 an ounce at 1,392 still stuck in a two-week sideways channel and as I’ve stated in previous blogs even after yesterday’s $20 up move I still remain bearish gold & I don’t understand any reason to be owning gold at this point in time and I do think a possible retest of 1,320 is in the cards in the next couple of weeks. Silver futures have been in a tight sideways channel down about $.50 at 22.21 still looking bearish in my opinion as the commodity markets as a whole are turning negative once again. The U.S dollar today was up about 45 points putting pressure on many commodities, however the dollar had 2 straight down days so today was considered profit taking but I still believe the U.S dollar is headed higher against the foreign currencies which will put pressure on the commodity markets in short term.

Grain Futures--- Grain Futures--- The grain market saw extreme volatility this week especially in the July soybeans which were up over $.50 yesterday hitting a high of 15.46 then reversing and settling unchanged settling today at 14.76 a bushel down 23 cents and has sold off 75 cents in 2 days and that tells me that there’s a possibility that this could be short term high. The November soybeans which I have talked about in previous blogs stating if prices are able to break above 12.40 a bushel hitting a 6 week high continuing its bullish trend I would advise traders to buy soybeans above that level risking $12 stop which is around $400 per mini contract as the trend continues to move higher. The U.S dollar today was slightly lower not impacting many of the commodities today except for a selected few with a really wishy-washy trend and I still think July soybeans are headed higher despite the fact of the tremendous selloff happening in the last 2 days & I think that was just profit taking and there are very few supplies to be sold and that’s the reason prices are headed higher in my opinion.

Why Futures for Stock Traders?

Whether you have traded a stock account for years or have just begun stock trading, you may have mixed results. Perhaps you have taken a course or you are simply well-read in your investment choices. The questions that every investor, trader and wealth manager must ask are, Am I diversified enough to produce a smooth equity curve with my portfolio? and Will this portfolio be weighted well enough to stand worst-case-scenario market conditions? If you hesitate to answer those questions, then perhaps taking a look at other products may broaden your knowledge and enhance your current investment portfolio.

The beauty of trading stocks online is that it keeps overhead costs down by trading out of your home. You will have immediate access to market information along with your account to place trades as you check the stock earnings, operating costs and any news that may impact the company. Typically, the cost of doing business is your low commission rate, use of your home computer and any subscription material to keep you informed. Most trading occurs in expanded hours, giving the investor time to trade whether it is a full-time or secondary job. The online platform allows the trader convenient access to the funds in his/her account readily. Continue reading "Why Futures for Stock Traders?" →

Precious Metals--- The precious metals in New York sold off sharply with gold down nearly $36 an ounce to settle around 1,433 down nearly $35 for the trading week which is basically all in today’s session as the U.S dollar has rallied sharply in 2 days while the Japanese Yen is hitting a 5 year low selling off nearly 300 points in the last 2 trading sessions. Gold futures for the June contract are trading below their 20 and 100 day moving average right near a 3 week low still extremely volatile and very choppy and I’m still advising traders to sit on the sidelines at this point in time and there still the possibility that gold could retest the mid-1300s before stabilizing. Silver futures were down about $.35 for the trading session after settling last Friday at 24.02 down nearly $.40 for the trading week trading below their 20 and 100 day moving average and still basically stuck in a 3 week channel really in a directionless trade I’m also advising traders to sit on the sidelines in this market until it has improving chart structure. Copper futures were one of the bright metals this week trading above its 20 day moving average but below its 100 day moving average which is currently at 3.56 pound after settling last Friday at 3.31 finishing slightly higher for the week which is impressive in my opinion since many of the commodity markets this Friday were sharply to the downside.
