Stock Market Just Before the BrExit Vote / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Donald_W_Dony

Though the conversation surrounding the outcome of the EU referendum continues to heat-up, during the last 36 hours, the market has already decided on which side is going to win.

Two key defensive elements, in particular, are pulling back as the final count down unfolds.

The Volatility Index or VIX, after a brief surge in early June, has backed-off and dropped into a more moderate risk level.

Stock Market on Verge of Melt Down? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Brad_Gudgeon

July 5th keeps coming back as an important cycle low for the stock market.  The recent daily Bollinger Bands on the SPX shows increasing constriction, which in the past pointed to a possible melt down, similar to what we saw from August 18-24, 2015.  This time around we have the same 115 TD’s from January 20, 2016 to July 5th that we had from March 11, 2015 to August 24, 2015. July 5th is also an important Bradley turn on a new moon.  Another similar Bradley turn occurs on another new moon November 29, 2016, which I believe will likely be another important low this year.

SPX May Break Its Trendline / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Anthony_Cherniawski

SPX has been climbing the Bearish Flag trendline. It may be broken at 2088.00 should SPX continue its decline today.

It may take another day to decline beneath the 50-day Moving Average. It may accelerate if today’s polls show Brexit gaining strength.

Stock Market Hybrid Lindsay Low: June 27-July 1 / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Ed_Carlson

After last week’s failed call for a “relief rally” it becomes harder to accept bullish signals as seen in the McClellan Oscillator this week. There is the possibility of a micro-cycle high on/near Tuesday which gives the possibility of a 1-2 day rally but the next micro-cycle low is due June 29 which matches the Hybrid Lindsay forecast for a low near then which is outlined below.

Believe it or Not: More Kids Live At Home Now than Since The Great Depression / Politics / Social Issues

We all know the situation in the markets is dire.
Like, really, everyone knows.
There’s an old phrase from Margaret Thatcher’s day (and mine, I suppose) that has recently come back into use: There is no alternative.
There’s even an acronym: TINA.

I see traders everywhere worrying about how the Brexit vote will effect gold. Folks, forget about the Brexit. By this time next week the Brexit will already be fading into memory and the market will go back to doing what it was doing before the vote.

EU Referendum Latest Opinion Polls Show LEAVE Halting REMAINs Surge / ElectionOracle / EU_Referendum

By: Nadeem_Walayat

The Latest opinion poll shows REMAINs lead is already crumbling as YouGov now puts LEAVE back in the lead on 44% against REMAIN on 42% and therefore bringing REMAINs strong momentum in the wake of the last Thursdays horrific events to a shuddering halt that had seen LEAVEs commanding lead quickly evaporate to resolve in a series of polls that put REMAIN ahead.

UK Fixed Rate Mortgages - Move Over Banks, Mutuals Offer Borrowers Better Deals / Housing-Market / Mortgages

By: MoneyFacts

Due to bigger banks taking greater advantage of the Government’s Funding for Lending Scheme to fund their mortgage books (and still having a significant sum of cash left to use), many would assume that mortgage rates from these providers would be significantly lower than those offered by the rest of the market. However, research from Moneyfacts.co.uk has found that building societies are actually the undeniable winners when it comes to mortgage deals.

Fascist Victory Behind the European Union / Politics / European Union

By: BATR

Most of what you learned from orthodox history schooling is flat out wrong. Add into this indoctrination, the movie accounts that portray the reasons and motivations about the conflict during World War II. Especially, the European theater which has been obfuscated in scores of books and political analysis, mislead and distort the facts. All the efforts to chastise the NAZI regime profoundly ignore the true end results of the German surrender. To the victors belongs the descriptive end account of the narrative. Yet, when you peel back the onion, the tears that are exposed carry forward well into the next millennium.

Here’s Why German Banks Consider Hoarding Billions of Euros in Vaults / Interest-Rates / War on Cash

By: John_Mauldin

One of Germany’s largest banks is seriously considering stockpiling cash. Sources within Commerzbank have told Reuters they are “examining the possibility” of hoarding billions of physical euros in secure vaults.

This is truly bizarre. Under normal conditions, holding cash is anathema to commercial bankers. They keep as little as possible on hand; they certainly don’t go out of their way to hold more.

BrExit Poll Nonsense... Stock Market Rally / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016

By: Jack_Steiman

We were all waiting for this Brexit situation to come and go this coming Thursday evening. Then a small sample poll was taken late yesterday and it showed a 70% vote in favor of Britain staying. The futures across the world went nuts to the up side. Europe had many countries up over 3%. Some approaching 4%. Amazing what a small poll can bring out in terms of froth. A market that wants higher will use any excuse to rock itself higher. You can also add in Kurota from Japan saying last night that more easing is on the way. None of it has worked, but that won't stop his desperation. The market got enough frothing news to rock itself up, except in the end the candles were weak today.
