Concise Highlights   

Did Janet Yellen really mean “six months” after the last QE purchases for the first rate hike? Or does she want that one back, and really meant to say “at least six months”? As we suspected, that is making for a very interesting bit of spin over coming days as the equities recover from lower supports. It seems they want to believe the latter is the case. And that is in spite of some weaker (if limited) economic data once again out of Australian and Europe overnight into this morning.

And that has seen the June S&P 500 future near term topping pattern completion aborted on its failure to follow through down to the low end of the gap higher from last Friday’s low ball (i.e. pre-Crimean secession vote) 1,833 area. It rather chose to run up to challenge Wednesday’s 1,867 high; and trading above it this morning is a further sign of strength that puts the burden of proof back on the bears.

Of course, there was much else affected by Ms. Yellen’s “six month” statement, and whether it is moderated in near term future communication. The short money forwards were obviously under pressure along with government bond markets, and the US Dollar Index got one of those de rigueur boosts associated with higher comparative short term interest rates. Yet those are also problematic depending on how much they can feed on themselves, and at least so far the US Dollar Index .8000 UP Break has failed to inspire a push above the more critical .8040 resistance.

The video timeline begins with macro (i.e. fundamental influences) discussion of the Fed factors noted above, and also the degree to which the equities strength is very interesting in the wake of that weaker data this morning with no US data at all scheduled today.

It moves on from there to the June S&P 500 future short-term trend view at 02:00 and intermediate-term at 03:50, then discussion of the other equities rally back but only to lower resistances so far, and foreign exchange conforming to yesterday morning’s analysis. That includes the US Dollar Index UP Break above .8000 yet stalling into the key .8040 area, and EUR/USD back below 1.3836 (also on a near term DOWN Break), yet with 1.3750-00 the more critical support. All other currencies are similarly still holding against the US dollar as well.

Global View: All Markets  

What a difference a day, and a significant shift in Fed perception, makes. Did Janet Yellen really mean “six months” after the last QE purchases for the first rate hike? Or does she want that one back, and really meant to say “at least six months”? That’s going to make for a very interesting bit of spin over coming days as the equities head for lower supports. If the Fed minions stick with the six month horizon, it is a bit more hawkish and potentially worse for both equities and the already weak US government bond markets.

However, if they soften it over the near term, that is going to be the basis for at least the equities bouncing back from key nearby lower supports. Especially important is the June S&P 500 future near term topping pattern completion into the low end of the gap higher from last Friday’s low ball (i.e. pre-Crimean secession vote) 1,833 area. And if it does drop that far, it will also reinforce the importance of yesterday’s 1,867 high of the short term rally as a very key resistance (essentially the ‘right shoulder’ high Tolerance of that short term H&S Top pattern.)   

Of course, there was much else affected by Ms. Yellen’s “six month” statement, and whether it is moderated in near term future communication. The short money forwards were obviously under pressure along with government bond markets, and the US dollar got one of those de rigueur boosts associated with higher comparative short term interest rates. Yet those are also problematic depending on how much they can feed on themselves, or are more so one-time adjustments within the overall trends. Much more on that in the video analysis.     

The video timeline begins with macro (i.e. fundamental influences) discussion of the Fed factors noted above, and also the degree to which the equities weakness is a bit perverse in the context of modest amounts of stronger economic data. It also noted the importance of the pending US data today, as there are no US economic releases tomorrow.

It moves on from there to the June S&P 500 future short-term trend view at 02:00 and intermediate-term at 03:50, then the other equities from 06:30, with govvies analysis beginning at 10:50 (including discussion of the significant discounts in the June contracts) and short money forwards at 17:40. Foreign exchange begins with the US Dollar Index at 23:15, jumping over to Europe at 25:35 and Asia at 28:50, followed by the cross rates at 31:40, and a return to the June S&P 500 future at 34:30 for a final view and additional perspective. As this is an especially extensive analysis due to its assessment of significant near term shifts, even more so than usual we suggest using the timeline cursor to access the analysis most relevant for you.

Global View: All Markets  

The weakness of equities on heightened fears over the geopolitical situation in Europe last Friday abated on perception the global economy will not suffer significantly from whatever sanctions the West can collectively agree to put on Russia. We explored that at length in a note to all our subscribers yesterday morning. The bottom line is the European commercial dependence on Russia does not allow for very aggressive sanctions, and the potential for any military action is now diminished as well in the wake of statements from Mr. Putin. Having set the cat loose among the canaries, the Bear is likely content to sit back and see what they do next instead of making any more aggressive moves right now.  

US equities negative anticipation caused June S&P 500 future to weaken off last Friday below the 1,836 low end of the Monday-Tuesday major gap higher from two weeks ago. Yet it immediately gapped back above it on the relief rally yesterday morning. That said, it was also very interesting it only managed to push back up to the top of that major gap at 1,856 yesterday morning prior to stalling once again. So until we see different, it seems stuck in a ‘Gap Trap’ between the 1,856-60 area resistance down to the 1,840-36 range.

The video timeline begins with macro (i.e. fundamental influences) discussion of the factors noted above, and also the importance of the still weak Asian and European economic data assisting the govvies bid earlier this morning even if that did not upset the equities. After somewhat upbeat US Housing Starts data released after the video was recorded, the focus turns to tomorrow’s important overnight data, BoE minutes, UK Budget, and limited US data into the FOMC announcement and press conference commencing at 13:00 CDT tomorrow.

It moves on from there to the June S&P 500 future short-term trend view at 03:00 and intermediate-term at 05:00, then the other equities from 07:05, with govvies analysis beginning at 11:30 (including discussion of the significant discounts in the June contracts) and short money forwards at 18:50. Foreign exchange begins with the US Dollar Index at 22:25, jumping over to Europe at 23:35 and Asia at 26:40, followed by the cross rates at 29:50, and a return to the June S&P 500 future at 33:25 for a final view and additional perspective. As this is an especially extensive analysis, even more so than usual we suggest using the timeline cursor to access the analysis most relevant for you.

Concise Highlights   

The weakness of equities was partially in the wake of more mediocre data on Thursday, yet also heightened fears over the geopolitical situation in Europe. And while the US equities managed tried to hold after Wednesday’s near term Negation of the June S&P 500 future 1,856 short term DOWN Break yesterday morning, once it was below the Tolerance at 1,853 all the indications turned negative for the balance of the day. And that was very interesting, because it led to the swing down to fill the bottom of last week’s Monday-Tuesday major gap higher at 1,836. If it should continue lower below that support, the next key level is not until the 1,820 area.

What is also important should the market recover on some sort of more amenable tone to the Ukraine-Crimea situation is the 1,856 top of last week’s gap being initial resistance. Of course, there is more above that as well which we discuss below.

The video timeline begins with macro (i.e. fundamental influences) factor discussion of the fundamental influences from somewhat weaker than expected data. Yet that is mostly mixed, and the far more prominent influence remains the geopolitical pressures at this time.

It moves on from there to the June S&P 500 future short-term trend view at 02:30 and intermediate-term at 04:45, then the other equities from 08:55, with govvies analysis beginning at 12:15 (including discussion of the significant discounts in the June contracts) and skipping short money forwards and foreign exchange (due to both being so consistent with Thursday morning’s TrendView Video analysis), and returning to the June S&P 500 future short term charts at 18:40 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  

Even with the weakness of the equities in Europe continuing due to the regional geopolitical tensions, the US equities managed to hold after a short term DOWN Break yesterday (June S&P 500 future below 1,856) that leaves that area as support. Of note, that is also the top of the gap from last Tuesday’s major jump on the lowering of Ukraine-Crimea tensions. It appears for now that the bears had a window in the US equities, and that is now closing. So no matter is Europe remains a bit weak for now if the US can lead the way higher. And it is especially interesting how additional lackluster economic data out of China has been offset by a much better than expected Australian Employment report this morning.

What is most important, and originally covered at length in Tuesday morning’s TrendView Video, is the success the S&P 500 future had in pushing not just to a new all-time high, but also above key weekly oscillator resistance in the 1,865-70 range last week. As the March contract remains the lead contract until next week Thursday, our focus on the June S&P 500 future means the analysis will need to account for the 7.00 premium in the March contract until then. That means the dip back below the 1,863-58 in the June contract was also critical on that basis, and back above it the market should be able to strengthen once again.

The video timeline begins with macro (i.e. fundamental influences) factor discussion of the fundamental influences noted above, and also the importance of the market reaction to the US Retail Sales report early this morning.

It moves on from there to the June S&P 500 future short-term trend view at 01:05 and intermediate-term at 02:45, then the other equities from 05:35, with govvies analysis beginning at 08:25 (including discussion of the significant discounts in the June contracts) and short money forwards at 13:45. Foreign exchange begins with the US Dollar Index at 17:45, jumping over to Europe at 18:50 and Asia at 21:30, followed by the cross rates at 24:20, and a return to the June S&P 500 future at 28:05 for a final view and additional perspective. We suggest using the timeline cursor to access the analysis most relevant for you.
