TrendView VIDEO ANALYSIS & OUTLOOK: Tuesday, June 16, 2015 (early)

150616_SPU_GLOBAL_0735Global View: All Markets  

Last week’s discussion of the equities coming under pressure and interesting firm response of govvies to a better than expected US Retail Sales report last Thursday has took on some fresh clarity in the wake of the Greek Debt Dilemma rearing its ugly head again late last week. Of course, that has bolstered the govvies for the past few days and weighed on the equities. Yet one of the most interesting aspects that we also note in the video analysis is the degree to which the recovery in the govvies is quite modest so far compared to their recent aggressive down trends.

And the reason for that is not so very hard to figure out. While the Greece Debt Dilemma ostensibly represents more of a crisis at this advanced stage of negotiations than in all the previous months of confrontational exchanges, it is not the whole global economy. That was looking far more dire, or at least disinflationary, earlier this year. Even though Asia seems to still be struggling of late, the more upbeat ECB view at its last meeting and the clear removal of disinflation in Europe has left the govvies more challenged than on previous selloffs in the equities. It will likely take the Greek crisis becoming more radical to foment further equities weakness and govvies strength from the current key levels. Along the way the foreign exchange remains more subdued, with the US Dollar Index slipping back from higher resisitance but only churning quietly into lower supports.

_____________________________________________________________

Video Timeline: It begins with a macro (i.e. fundamental influences) mention of some of the factors noted above along with the degree to which data that seemed to flip back into strength last week, especially those US Retail Sales numbers. While some other bits have been weaker along the way (especially in Europe reinforcing the euro losing a bit of its secular strength of late), overall the data is improved into a much bigger day on Thursday. But first, all of the markets need to respect whatever the FOMC says on Wednesday.

It moves on to S&P 500 FUTURE short-term indications at 02:30 and intermediate term view at 05:45, OTHER EQUITIES from 07:45, GOVVIES analysis beginning at 12:45 (with a focus on the BUND at 16:30) and SHORT MONEY FORWARDS 18:45. FOREIGN EXCHANGE begins with US DOLLAR INDEX at 22:45, jumping over to EUROPE at 24:45 and ASIA at 26:45, followed by the CROSS RATES at 29:45 and a return to S&P 500 FUTURE short term view at 33:30. As this is an especially extensive analysis due to the need to discuss some key background factors, even more so than usual we suggest using the timeline cursor to access the analysis most relevant for you.

TrendView VIDEO ANALYSIS & OUTLOOK: Friday, June 12, 2015 (early)

150612_SPM_CONCISE_0645Concise Highlights  

Only Concise Highlights on the June S&P 500 future today along with mention of the other equities and the govvies leading to a full foreign exchange review this morning. That is because Thursday’s video on the equities basing out since Wednesday and the interesting firm response of the govvies to a better than expected US Retail Sales report as well still stands as the key analysis in those areas. In fact, the Greek Debt Dilemma becoming more contentious at the end of this week has bolstered the govvies this morning after early slippage, and weighed on the equities once again Yet the current shifts in those areas are very consistent with the recent reversion to the equities liking the stronger economic data, and only a modest upside reaction so far in govvies that have been trending down since late April and have quite a bit of higher resistance.

And in spite of the more downbeat warnings on the fragility of the global economy from various NGO’s (Non-governmental Organizations), the economic indications have improved a bit of late. Will that continue, or is this just a flutter in the wake of the very weak first quarter. We shall see. Yet anyone interested in a review of those cautionary indication from the NGOs can take a look at Tuesday’s exploration of multiple recent projections from the OECD on economies outlook, trade and the global economic outlook.

What we know for now is the failure after the lackluster June S&P 500 future 2,119 UP Break three weeks ago leaves resistance up into that area to somewhat higher levels, it was a bit perverse the equities should sell off on initial broadly improved US economic data and better European psych. Yet it is historically consistent with ‘anticipatory’ psychology on the end of the central bank accommodation cycle. And as we noted yesterday, the govvies response to US Retail Sales was even more interesting. September T-note future is at a 24/32nds discount to lead contract June future as we head into the quarterly expiration next week Friday (June 19th.) As such, its slippage into the 124-24 area is equivalent to the June contract test of important 125-16 support. And in spite of the US Retail Sales figures they are both up ¾ to a full point since early yesterday.

_____________________________________________________________

Video Timeline: It begins with a macro (i.e. fundamental influences) mention of some of the factors noted above along with the degree to which improved economic data was reinforced by confident economic and inflation missives from last week’s ECB press conference. While the UK and Asia remain weaker, data out of the Euro-zone is a major influence that continues to weigh on the Bund in spite of the current recovery. It also notes today’s Euro-zone Industrial Production data was a bit less positive again on the way into US PPI and Preliminary Michigan Confidence.

It moves on to the S&P 500 FUTURE short-term view at 02:30 and intermediate term at 04:30 with only mention of OTHER EQUITIES from 06:30 and GOVVIES at 08:30 (with the still very critical BUND from 09:50) and SHORT MONEY FORWARDS at 10:30. Foreign exchange begins with the US DOLLAR INDEX at 11:40, Europe at 14:15, ASIA at 17:45 and CROSS RATES at 21:00 prior to returning to the S&P 500 FUTURE short term view at 25:30 for a final look.

TrendView VIDEO ANALYSIS & OUTLOOK: Thursday, June 11, 2015 (early)

150611_SPM_CONCISE_0745Concise Highlights  

Only Concise Highlights on the equities basing out since yesterday and this morning’s interesting firm response of the govvies to a better than expected US Retail Sales report. This is in fact being posted a bit later than usual to allow for the TrendView video analysis creation after the release of that particularly key economic data. Once again we will only be mentioning the short money forwards and foreign exchange tendencies, as those remain significantly consistent with Tuesday morning’s video analysis and Market Observations after Tuesday’s Close. And all of the broader fundamental background is indeed still very much the same as discussed in the past couple of days’ posts. We refer you back to those for more of that perspective, especially Tuesday’s exploration of multiple recent projections from the OECD.

That means we can cut right to the market activity chase, and quite a chase it is. In the first instance, the US equities weakness over the past week into Wednesday morning seemed a bit based on the higher rate fears associated with improved economic data. While the failure after the lackluster June S&P 500 future 2,119 UP Break three weeks ago leaves resistance up into that area to somewhat higher levels, it was a bit perverse the equities should sell off on initial broadly improved US economic data and better European psych.

Yet it is historically consistent with ‘anticipatory’ psychology on the end of the central bank accommodation cycle. As such, Wednesday’s gap higher carrying quickly back above 2,090-88 key congestion on a fresh short term UP Break leading to reassertion of strength above the 2,100-2,096 bottom of the late-May to early-June trading range is a positive sign. It signals that the economic data is strong enough to ally near term fears over future higher yields. That said, the broader background not being all that positive still leaves higher levels as key resistances as the US leads Europe higher.   

And the govvies response to US Retail Sales is even more interesting.

Video Timeline: It begins with a macro (i.e. fundamental influences) mention of some of the factors noted above along with the degree to which improved economic data was reinforced by confident economic and inflation missives from last week’s ECB press conference. While the UK and Asia remain weaker, data out of the Euro-zone is a major influence that continues to weigh on the Bund as the downside leader. It also notes today’s data is more or less the last critical influence this week.    

It moves on to the S&P 500 FUTURE short-term view at 02:30 and intermediate term at 06:15 with OTHER EQUITIES from 07:30, leading to GOVVIES at 12:15 (with the still very critical BUND from 16:30) and only mention of SHORT MONEY FORWARDS at 18:30. Foreign exchange is also only mentioned (after Tuesday’s full analysis), with the US DOLLAR INDEX at 19:00, Europe at 19:30, ASIA at 20:30 and CROSS RATES at 21:30 prior to returning to the S&P 500 FUTURE short term view at 22:00 for a final look.

150610_SPM_CONCISE_0700Concise Highlights  

Only Concise Highlights on the equities potentially basing out and continued weakness of the govvies seems warranted after Tuesday’s very extensive Global View. Foreign exchange remains very consistent with those observations, even to the point that the euro currency’s recent secular strength left it a bit stretched against the others, and it is now reacting just a bit as they strengthen against the US dollar. Yet the key point this morning is that the equities and govvies seem to be parting company after their mutual recent weakness. It has been most interesting that right into and after the improvement in economic data from midweek last week into the US Employment report and early this week this week the equities sold off. It is an important generally held view that this was a response to the higher interest rates triggered by recent stronger data (especially in Europe) and resilient energy prices.

Yet there are also some less than friendly global economic and trade indications lurking behind the recent improvement in headline numbers. For more on that please see yesterday’s Global View post. Yet for now, with govvies under pressure again today while all of the major equities rebounding from lower supports, it would seem they can extend those tendencies a bit further. Especially for some critical govvies indications out of last week into this week (which we review immediately below), the failure of recent basing attempts indicates more major lower ground will likely be tested before they can bottom. Active bear markets always seem to proceed lower faster than many expect.

It also notes that the really critical data and other influences this week arrive on Thursday.    

It moves on to the JUNE S&P 500 FUTURE short-term view at 02:00 and intermediate term at 05:15 with OTHER EQUITIES from 07:20, leading to GOVVIES at 12:15 (with the still very critical BUND from 15:15) and only mention of SHORT MONEY FORWARDS at 20:30. Foreign exchange is also only mentioned (after Tuesday’s full analysis), with the US DOLLAR INDEX at 21:00, Europe at 21:45, ASIA at 22:30 and CROSS RATES at 23:30 prior to returning to the JUNE S&P 500 FUTURE short term view at 24:00 for a final look.

150609_SPM_CONCISE_0700Global View: All Markets  

The interesting aspect of the recent market activity has been the weakness of the equities in spite of somewhat better economic data. There is some sense of course that the Greek Debt Dilemma rasing its ugly head again could be a threat, or that the stronger data is raising a specter of earlier than recently expected central bank base rate hikes in spite of no real indication of that from the short money forward futures pricing. One of the most interesting aspects of all this is indeed that it is indeed occurring on mostly better global economic data (at least outside the UK.)

This seems to reinforce the old adage that down trends rarely begin on ‘bad’ news. They are far more likely to commence on upbeat news that sees the sort of weakness equities have demonstrated of late… for no apparent reason. Yet in those cases there is always in fact a broader background factor which drives the equities weakness, and in this case a possible return to govvies strength. As weak as the latter have been of late on the better data, they have actually stabilized over the past couple of sessions. As such, it is hard to point to overt yield escalation as a reason equities are under pressure.

So what might be those broader factors? Mostly general weakening of the background on global economies and especially trade. There have been previous circumstances where the most recent headline ‘rearview mirror’ statistical releases did not properly reflect the shifts in underlying activity. We provide a couple of recent and current insights below on broader global economic activity and outlook.       

_____________________________________________________________

Video Timeline: It begins with a macro (i.e. fundamental influences) mention of some of the factors noted above along with the degree to which data that seemed to flip back into strength last week, culminating in the US Employment numbers. That continued into Monday even as the equities slid, with this morning’s data being more mixed. Yet the bigger influences are going to be Wednesday’s and Thursday’s data and reports.

It moves on to JUNE S&P 500 FUTURE short-term indications at 02:30 and intermediate term view at 05:15, OTHER EQUITIES from 06:50, GOVVIES analysis beginning at 11:30 (with a focus on the BUND at 15:45) and SHORT MONEY FORWARDS 18:45. FOREIGN EXCHANGE begins with US DOLLAR INDEX at 23:45, jumping over to EUROPE at 25:30 and ASIA at 29:00, followed by the CROSS RATES at 32:20 and a return to JUNE S&P 500 FUTURE short term view at 35:50. As this is an especially extensive analysis due to the need to discuss some key background factors, even more so than usual we suggest using the timeline cursor to access the analysis most relevant for you.
