Markets Mixed Awaiting Late Start To U.S. Trade
The U.S. markets are closed today for the Memorial Day Holiday. The world markets reacted in mixed fashion ahead of the late start to the week. Asian markets, especially the Nikkei, had a rough start. The Japanese index shed another 3% bringing it close to the 14,000 support zone. I expect to see a lot of volatility in the Nikkei due to the stimulus policies of the Japanese government. European markets were more stable and moved to the upside in thin trading. The UK market is also closed for their Spring Break Holiday. Monday was kind of a throwaway, look for tomorrow to be the real start of the week.
Last week the markets got a shock to the system when ole Ben Bernanke revealed just how close to tapering we are. Or did he. The comments he made on Capital Hill and the FOMC minutes released later in the day were enough to make the markets think tapering was going to begin as soon as next month. However, upon deeper thought, I think and I think the markets think that tapering and an end to QE is not as close as we may think. In the end what does it really mean to the markets is the Fed begins to ease of on the gas? The U.S. economy is stable and stabilizing, a few billion less than the $85 billion dollar a month bond purchases we have now won’t be that big a deal.
The real threat to the U.S. market is the rest of the world. Japan is manipulating the hell out of it’s economy, China is doing whatever it is the Chinese government does that we never hear about and Europe is still highly questionable. At this time look for improvements in Europe and Asia. Now that the EU is able to turn its focus away from budget cuts it can begin to tackle the problems of unemployment.
1. S&P 500 Support May Come To Market
S&P 500
Call/Put = Put
Entry = Above 1640
Expiration = End of the week
My Trading Advice
This week is relatively light on U.S. economic data. There are some events but nothing that I see as particularly supportive or market moving. Because of this I see the S&P moving down to the support level of 1630 and possibly lower. Next week we will get the big run of monthly data culminating Wednesday, Thursday and Friday with the employment bundle (ADP Employment, weekly jobless claims, U.S. unemployment and NFP). I expect to see these numbers support the recent trends and the rally, a disappointment here could send the markets lower.
This week I think the markets will drift. The holiday in the U.S. and U.K. will not close global trading but it will subdue it. Near term support exists for the S&P around 1630 with stronger support levels around 1600. Look to these numbers this week as downside targets ahead of next weeks onslaught of economic data. I am trading puts on the S&P 500 with a target entry above $1640 and an end of the week expiration.
2. Gold Is Still Not Shiny
Gold
Call/Put = Put
Entry = Above $1390
Expiration = End of the week
My Trading Advice
Gold prices have been rebounding but I do not think it is the right time to get bullish on this metal. My technical indicators are pointing to at least a retest of last months low prices if not a break through. Long term targets for gold are as low as $1225 at this time. Added to this is my expectation of a continued U.S. economic recovery and strong dollar. The combined pressure should be more than enough to bring gold down to $1325-$1335. I am trading puts on gold with a target entry above $1390 and an end of the week expiration.
3. Euro Faces Resistance
EUR/USD
Call/Put = Put
Entry = Above 1.29000
Expiration = End of week
My Trading Advice
The euro made a technical bounce from a 50% retracement level last week but still faces resistance at 1.3000. Not only is there a long term resistance level there as well the 30 day moving average is adding its own downward pressure. I am trading puts on the EUR/USD with a target entry above 1.2900.
4. The Yen Trade Is Still On
USD/JPY
Call/Put = Call
Entry = Below 101.125
Expiration = End of the month
My Trading Advice
The yen slide is still on. Japanese ministers may feel the yen has devalued enough but that does not mean that the yen is not going to fall lower. The policy set in place by Abe and Kuroda have a two year outlook with an even longer term end result. Don’t expect the yen to strengthen too much in the near term. I am looking to trade calls on the USD/JPY with a target entry below 101.125 and an end of the month expiration.
5. Financials Strong In The Near To Short Term
Bank Of America
Call/Put = Call
Entry = Below $13.25
Expiration = End of the week
My Trading Advice
The financials look strong going into the near term. Looking at charts of the Bank Index and Financial Spyder I see a sector with support and momentum. Digging deeper into the sector and coordination with the available assets on Communitraders I have chosen to play this with Bank Of America. BAC has support at $13 and is bouncing from the short term moving average at the same time. I am trading calls with a target entry below $13.25 and an end of the week expiration.
