Weekly Gold Report (June 24th through June 28th)

Selling pressure carries over from last week to begin the last five trading days of June. If the FOMC statement weren’t enough for market bears, China added fuel to the fire with alarming overnight news from their banking sector. With a busy week ahead of economic data, coupled with a daily dose of speeches from US FED members, we should have enough news to give the markets some nice volatility to trade.

Weekly Gold Report (June 10th through June 14th)

Last week provided some decent volatility in major markets across the board. Currencies were on the front burner after Europe kept rates unchanged at the ECB monthly policy meeting, and the United States Non Farm Payrolls closed out the week with somewhat of a lame number. While more jobs were created than expected, the unemployment rate did rise by a tenth of a percent.

To close out the trifecta of news from the most important Central banks in the world, we will have to wait until Tuesday to hear from the Bank of Japan who is scheduled for their monthly report, which is expected to provide very little unexpected news. Later in the week, the United States reports Retail Sales and weekly jobless claims followed by PPI and Consumer Confidence on Friday.

I do not expect any fireworks this week unless the BOJ surprises the market with news tomorrow that ignites a directional play in the Yen. If anything is revealed that suggests a slowdown in the BOJ’s Quantitative Easing Program, we may actually see the US Stock Indexes finish lower on a Tuesday for the first time in 22 weeks. If the BOJ maintains their stance on easing and continues to force the Yen lower, we can expect another higher close for the US indexes, just like the prior 21 Tuesdays.

We are on the heels of a week full of important economic reports from the United States, Europe and England. The overnight session was kick-started with news from China that while mixed, was read as bullish for the board. As I write this, US stock indexes are trying to recover from the late week selloff, which was driven by a string of misses in the last few days of the week.

The lineup includes today’s ISM report, Wednesdays Beige Book, and Non Farm Payrolls to finish the week. Additionally, we expect several FED Members to stir the QE pot in interviews throughout the week.

Europe and England both will report Interest Rate decisions this week, which will impact global Currencies and global markets overall. Weeks like these give very good opportunities for day and swing trades, which we plan to take part in. As each day and overnight bring important economic numbers to the trade, it will be important to make adjustments to mitigate risk and capture profit. Continue reading "Gold Chart of The Week" →

Weekly Gold Report (May 20th through May 24th)

After wrapping up a week full of economic data in the United States, we now look forward to a fairly light schedule. At this point, most traders realize how insignificant the results of these reports are and they will likely continue to follow the stock indexes with a “buy the dip and enjoy the trip” mentality. Why wouldn’t they? Indexes like the S&P 500 have only spent about a week below the support trendline since the move began in November of 2012. Even after a string of misses in the middle of last week, the S&P Futures only pulled back a fraction of the prior day’s move up. And that was only long enough for the buying to resume and a new high was put in shortly thereafter. Continue reading "Gold Chart of The Week" →

Weekly Gold Report (May 13th through May 17th)

Outside of a late week Currencies surge, there were very few fireworks to report in last week’s business. This week however, may be a different story.

Thursday and Friday of last week provided some decent movement in the Dollar and Euro, but it appeared things began in the Japanese Yen, then spilled over. Throughout the last several weeks, there have been multiple attempts to push the Yen to new lows for the year, but it always seemed that somehow the plan was foiled. After the selling pressure triggered stop-orders below support, all other Currencies had to react. There was a firm rebound in the US Dollar and an inverse move in the Euro Currency. Surprisingly, the swings in the Currencies had very little impact on outside markets. In fact, most other sectors of the markets were rather stale and choppy. A Treasury Bond auction had some impact on the 30yr bonds and 10yr Notes, but there was little else in the week that provided any excitement. The same goes for the Gold Futures. Normally, traders would use the direction the Dollar or the Stock Indexes as a guide for what to expect in the Metals, but those former relationships are no longer in play on a day to day basis.
