Cotton Futures-- The cotton market continues its downward trend finishing lower for the 9th consecutive trading session in New York breaking major support at 78 currently trading at 76.65 trading below its 20 and 100 day moving average hitting a new 10 month low and in my opinion prices are possibly heading down the 70 in the next several weeks. The problem with cotton as with many of the soft commodities as there is very little demand at this time continuing to pressure prices & I recommended selling this market when it broke 82 and this has been successful trade at this point but remember to place your stop above the 10 day high in case the trend changes but I do believe prices are headed substantially lower as harvest is progressing on a daily basis bringing in more and more supply. The chart structure in cotton when prices broke out at 82 was outstanding risking around $1,200 at that time so I hope some people are listening out there and continue to stay short as prices are still expensive in my opinion. TREND: LOWER –CHART STRUCTURE: EXCELLENT Continue reading "Weekly Futures Recap W/Mike Seery" →

Cotton Futures-- Cotton futures for the December contract was down sharply this week settling at 83.11 last Friday down over 375 points this week in New York continuing its bearish momentum after breaking down at 82 last week currently trading at 79.30 basically unchanged this Friday afternoon. Prices are still trading below their 20 and 100 day moving average hitting a 9 month low & I’m still recommending a short position placing your stop above the 10 day high which at the time was about a $1200 risk but at today’s current price is around $2,500 remembering cotton is a very large contract. In my opinion it looks that cotton prices will retest the 78 level possibly even heading lower as there is weakening demand & excellent crops around the world pushing up supplies at this time despite the fact that the U.S dollar hit a 1 1/2 year low having very little effect on cotton prices at this time. The USDA will come out with crop estimates next week and it’s been quite some time for fresh news to appear due to the government shutdown and that should guide short-term price direction.

Cotton Futures-- Cotton futures in New York this week continued their bullish trend settling last Friday at 86.63 going out this Friday at 87.47 about 85 points higher hitting a 6 week high and still trading above its 20 and 100 day moving average which I consider a bullish technical indicator. I have been recommending buying cotton futures in the December contract last Friday when it broke out above 85.80 but cotton is very large contract with heavy risk so trade only 1 contract while placing a stop below the 10 day low at 84.07 risking around $800 per contract at the time if you are wrong and the trend changes to the downside. The chart structure in cotton is excellent at this point which has allowed you to place a tight stop if you’re looking to get involved into this market, however traders are keeping an eye on next week’s crop report which definitely will have an impact on short-term price direction as I still do believe cotton prices will fill that gap at 89 in the coming weeks possibly if next week’s report is very bullish.

Gold Futures--- Gold futures in the December contract had one of the most volatile and crazy trading weeks that I can remember finishing this Friday afternoon down $35 at 1,333 an ounce after settling last Friday at 1,308  rallying on the concept that the Federal Reserve will not taper bond purchases which sent many of the commodity markets sharply higher including gold on Wednesday afternoon, however reality has set in as Goldman Sachs came out stating that they believe the Federal Reserve will start tapering in December which put a lot of pressure on many commodities including the stock market today. I have been advising traders to sit on the sidelines in the gold market & I still think gold looks relatively weak closing right on session lows today as the bond purchasing in my opinion is overrated. The trend in gold is lower at this point but wait for better chart structure to develop before looking to enter into this market as volatility is too high. The U.S dollar hit an 8 month low which also propelled gold prices higher on Wednesday as the Federal government continues to try & support asset prices and it also continues to try to devalue the U.S dollar which is generally bullish commodity prices, however money seems to the flowing back into the S&P 500 as prices are hitting all-time highs while taking money out of gold market.

Soybean Futures-- Soybean futures had a wild trading week ending lower by $.13 this Friday at 13.83 but having a very bullish USDA crop report despite the fact that we are going to have the 4th largest crop in U.S history, but the carryover level dropped from 220 bushels all way down to 150 million bushels which now means the carryover in soybeans is tight again which should keep prices high for quite some time. We thought the carryover number was going to be 295 million bushels earlier in the summer and that’s how much this figure has dropped and if you go into the next report with possibly an even lower crop than 3.14 billion bushels and a carryover of 100 million prices could really move to the upside in my opinion. The grain complex in general is still in a bearish trend except for soybeans as the spread price between corn and soybeans is right near record levels as there is still huge demand for soybeans and I wonder what the next crop report is going to say as this was a disappointing crop year in my opinion. This year’s crop is only 3% higher than last year’s drought stricken crop which is amazing in my opinion but we just had too many bad things happen this year with cool & wet weather and then hot & dry with a very sporadic weather pattern causing the poor crop this year as now we start to enter Brazil’s planting season which is expected to be another record crop.
