Commodities are trying to resume the rally and it may work. We expect to see commodities chop around the current levels for the next week of so while we put in a solid base. We had been looking for a much deeper correction to come in commodities but it now appears that call was premature. …
The Dollar continues to stabilize and this week we have the all important NFP report on Friday. That number will set the tone for the Dollar for the month of April as we have the next FOMC meeting on the 30th of April. Overall we continue to expect the Dollar to keeping basing and slowly…
This week we are seeing a global exhale. By that I mean traders are realizing that the sky is not falling yet and for now the FOMC is going to try and save the day. Can they really pull this off? We doubt it will work as history shows that it is not likely at…
Well it looks as if central bankers got the message that traders were sending them last week. They have stepped up and begun to change the perception of the future of the Dollar. The test now will be if they can perpetuate this change in perception or not. We see this as a “global exhale”. …
Well since we did not learn from our past as I mentioned last week, we are now about to repeat it. By that I mean it looks like we are going to see a global correction, even deeper than we have already seen. The fact that the FOMC is becoming the largest mortgage holder in…
For months now traders have been talking about the falling Dollar. Much has been made in the media about the Dollar being the world’s reserve currency. Well it looks as if that is all coming to an end. Global investors have been throwing Dollars overboard for some time and we may now see them turn…

General Comments: Commodities continue to grab headlines, not only in financial news but now also in main stream media. This is a clear sign that commodities as a whole are at or very near a short term top. We are still using these rallies to exit the few long positions we still have on. We…
General Market Comments Last week we saw an extreme move in the Dollar breaking down below support and making both recent and all time lows against many currencies. We did not expect the extreme nature of this move and believe that at least ¼ of last weeks move is overdone in the near term. We…
Comments: Commodities are still strong this week. We continue to sound the alarm about the commodities correction to come. Again we are not commodity bears at all, just no longer bulls in the near term. We are using these spikes to higher prices both last week and this week to exit long trades in commodities. …
Comments: This week we have a lot of data coming out. Here in the US we have PPI, then later in the week we have GDP coming out of England. We expect to see another week of mixed movement with little directional bias. Overall the Dollar is still trying to find and hold a bottom…
