Each week I review the current market type and fundamental considerations on a variety of stock and commodity indices. Market type analysis is critical to trade planning.
MT = Market Type ( See lesson 8 in the Share Investing Course for Smart People)
- US Dow Jones – MT is sideways normal. Look for range trading opportunities. NFP on Friday should be good for stocks.Prefer bullish trades but carefully.
- US S&P 500 – MT is sideways normal. Look for range trading opportunities. As above.
- US Nasdaq – MT is bull normal, but potentially turning sideways. Buy with caution.
- US Russell 2000 – MT is bull normal. Look to buy.
- UK 100 – MT is longer-term sideways but potentially breaking out. Trade to the long side with caution.
- Europe 50 – MT is strong bull. Changing from a fast bull. Look to take small profits.
- Germany 30 – MT is strong bull. Hold
- France 40 – MT is strong bull. Hold.
- Italy 40 – MT is strong bull. Hold.
- Spain 35 – MT is strong bull. Breaking out to a new high. Hold.
- Swiss 20 – MT is sideways volatile. Had a bullish reversal pattern off resistance. Take profits here, and consider short trades, but be wary.
- Netherlands 25 – MT is strong bull. Hold.
- Japan 225 – MT is strong bull. Hold.
- Honk Kong 33 – MT is normal sideways. Breakout is occurring. Look to buy.
- Singapore 30 – MT is normal sideways. Getting close to a long breakout. Hold for now.
- Australia 200 – MT is bull normal. Look for buying opportunities, but careful of the double top that is forming.
- Gold – MT is sideways normal. Careful longs preferred.
- Gold vs EURO – MT is bull normal. Look to buy.
- Silver – MT is sideways normal. Stay out.
- Silver vs EURO – MT is just a normal bull. Long with caution.
- Copper – MT is bear volatile. Big pin candle on the weekly chart giving a sell signal in this MT. Continue to look short
- Brent Oil – MT is bear volatile. Prefer to stay out.
- WTI Oil – MT is bear normal. Minor double bottom in play. Careful longs are a good play for now. I suspect we will see a new low reached eventually. The negotiations in Iran are potentially bearish for oil, and it looks like OPEC is increasing production – this is countered by decreasing supply from fracking in the US.
- US 30 year Bonds – MT is turning fast bull. Hold.
- US 10 year Bonds – MT is sideways volatile. Wait.
- German 10 year Bonds – MT is strong bull. Hold.
- UK 10 year Bonds – MT is volatile bull. Prefer careful buying.
