S&P 500 Futures

Market Summary_

  • Copper is in a retracement down. Gold and silver are at or near a new short entry.
  • Crude is pulling back to the lower bound of the 52-54 range.  Look for a break or a bounce there. Natural Gas is at weekly downside targets so look for some consolidation.
  • The US Treasury Bonds have made an attempt to go higher in price but the FED rate hike talk has stopped the move.
  • The US Dollar futures have trended higher on the same FED talk, but sold off on Friday. The rate hike should cause the dollar futures to rise, unless the market interprets the dollar rise sufficient to choke off trade and growth.
