TrendView VIDEO ANALYSIS & OUTLOOK: Thursday, June 12, 2014 (early)

Concise Highlights   

The June S&P 500 future has reached a critical juncture after the correction of the past couple of sessions. After the early Tuesday selloff DOWN Break from a minor top that did not seem to be working, it reinstated that signal when it gapped below 1,946 yesterday. Yet, as is typical of quite a few corrections in bull markets, at least so far it has failed to hit the near term downside Objective and other key supports in the 1,938-37 area. More on that below. And for now the economic influences which were weak yesterday seem to have moderated with a fairly firm OECD Q-1 G20 GDP report that highlights the growth in Asia and the UK versus some slippage elsewhere. With limited and mixed economic data this morning, that leaves some of the equity market drags in the geopolitical arena on both US political disruption and Middle East disarray… especially now in Iraq.

_________________________________________________________________________

Video Timeline: It begins with macro (i.e. fundamental influences) discussion of some of the factors noted above and below plus the note of the important US data today. That is especially for the Retail Sales figures that are expected to improve once again after a couple of months of weakness. Not noted in the video yet also of interest is Friday’s return to quite a bit of data elsewhere that includes quite a few Chinese economic releases into a lighter day once again in the US.

It moves on to the JUNE S&P 500 FUTURE short-term trend view at 02:30 and intermediate term at 05:20, OTHER EQUITIES from 06:10, and the GOVVIES at 09:45. It also mentions the steady activity since Tuesday morning in SHORT MONEY FORWARDS at 15:00, with the same sort of observation on FOREIGN EXCHANGE at 15:15 with the CROSS RATES at 16:30 prior to return to the JUNE S&P 500 FUTURE short term charts at 17:00 for a final view and additional perspective. We suggest using the timeline cursor to access the analysis most relevant for you.

Concise Highlights   

A real disappointment for the bulls early today in the wake of resilience demonstrated by the June S&P 500 future yesterday after an early dip. Especially as that early Tuesday selloff was a DOWN Break from a minor top that did not seem to be working… well, it’s back now. We will explore more of those technical tendencies and the key lower support below. For now it is important to note that there does not seem to be any particular driver for this sort of weakness in the data. It is more so a selloff on pure ‘tired’ activity after Monday’s new all-time trading highs. In fact, if anything the data is quite strong on balance, and the accommodative central bank influences are in an enhanced state ever since the ECB announcements and press conference last Thursday. So what could be the matter?

_________________________________________________________________________

Video Timeline: It begins with macro (i.e. fundamental influences) discussion of some of the factors noted above and below plus the lack of any important US data today. That changes with tomorrow’s US Retail Sales report after quite a bit of data elsewhere. Economic release influences continue to intensify Friday with quite a bit of data elsewhere that includes quite a few Chinese economic releases into another lighter day in the US.

It moves on to the JUNE S&P 500 FUTURE short-term trend view at 01:45 and intermediate term at 05:30, mention of OTHER EQUITIES from 06:05, and mention of the GOVVIES at 07:00. It also noted the slight uptick in SHORT MONEY FORWARDS at 07:55. Moving on to analysis of the US DOLLAR INDEX at 08:15 and EUR/USD at 09:35 with only mention of the other currencies from 10:30, with a return to the JUNE S&P 500 FUTURE short term charts at 22:15 for a final view and additional perspective. We suggest using the timeline cursor to access the analysis most relevant for you.

Global View: All Markets  

Well, the “Mind the gap” advice on the upside Runaway Gap two weeks ago not only fulfilled its potential, it exceeded it. And this revisits the question of what to do with markets that outperform minimum Objectives like the June S&P 500 future 1,938 level from that Runaway Gap back in the 1,900 area. While we will review more of that in the technical discussion, suffice to say for now that it is a sign of strength. It requires the bears in this case to ge the market back below 1,938 on at least a daily Close to weaken the otherwise strong technical tone. The weekly oscillator level at 1,945 is equally as important in the near term, and we will revisit that as well below.

Video Timeline: It begins with macro (i.e. fundamental influences) discussion of some of the factors noted above plus mentioning the only remaining economic reports worth watching today are US JOLTS and Wholesale Inventories and Sales.

It moves on to the June S&P 500 future short-term trend view at 02:30 and intermediate term at 05:30, then the other equities from 06:15, with govvies analysis beginning at 10:00 and short money forwards at 15:40. Foreign exchange begins with the US Dollar Index at 19:15, jumping over to Europe at 21:15 and Asia at 23:55, followed the cross rates at 27:15 (with an expanded EUR/GBP weekly chart to review the critical nature of .8150), and a return to June S&P 500 future at 31:00 for a final view and additional perspective. We suggest using the timeline cursor to access the analysis most relevant for you.

For now it is as important to review the ‘macro’ factors feeding the re-acceleration of what had become a rather grudging bull trend into a dynamic rally once again. First of is the major assist from the ECB. While it was well anticipated, the European Central Bank’s fractional rate cut to 0.15%, and especially the Deposit Facility Rate submersion from 0.00% to -0.10% was a real driver for a more aggressive accommodation from what had been the last QE-style stimulus holdout until last year.

Of course, it is not just about lower or negative rates. The creative structure of the latest ECB stimulus program seems enlightened. Given the differences of its multinational composition compared with other major central banks, this was a requirement. In the first instance there is no single national government bond market, and in any event major purchases of those bonds would fly in the face of the rightful Teutonic proscription of ‘monetary financing’ of government debt. And in the second case, the problem is not with rates that are generally too high, but rather with encouraging lending to the corporate sector; especially in the still weak economies on the periphery of the Euro-zone.

Anyone requiring more detail on those programs should access our earlier Thursday “Commentary: Draghi forceful… market response predictably erratic” post. We review the press conference discussion of both the new TLTRO (‘Targeted’ Long term Refinancing Operation) and the very sensible guidelines for development of a far more robust ABS (Asset Backed Securities) market in Europe.

And the important market aspect was the degree to which they still confirmed to predictable price swing expectations in spite of the high volatility in the wake of such a radical central bank program shift. The equities, govvies and even the foreign exchange exhibited activity around their key technical levels which was volatile, yet fully consistent with current trends.

2014/06/05: Commentary: Draghi forceful… market response predictably erratic

ECB’s additional stimulus will take time

President Draghi honest that extensive measures

NOT an overnight Euro-zone growth panacea

COMMENTARY: Thursday, June 5, 2014

There is quite a lot to be said for the creative structure of the latest ECB stimulus program. Given the major differences of its multinational composition compared with other major central banks, this was a requirement. In the first instance there is no single national government bond market, and in any event major purchases of those bonds would fly in the face of the rightful Teutonic proscription on ‘monetary financing’ of government debt. And in the second case, the problem is not with rates that are generally too high, but rather with encouraging lending to the corporate sector; especially in the still weak economies on the periphery of the Euro-zone.

And in that regard the various policies initiated today appear to be quite useful in addressing the specific issues that continue to restrain the Euro-zone economy. While it was only hinted at previous, there are direct incentives in a couple of the key initiatives that may well encourage the activity the ECB wants to see. And yet, Signore Draghi was very honest in allowing that efforts of this type take some time to have an impact. In response to a key question on economic developments from the measures instituted today, he allowed it might take three or four quarters. That additional bit of candor explains a lot about the actual market response in various asset classes. (More on that in our Conclusion below.)
