Indian Stock Market Nifty, What to expect in the week of 6th July / Stock-Markets / India

By: Prasoon_Gopal

Last week saw lots of ups and downs in Nifty. Good news is that it was able to close up for the week. Another good news is that it was able to hold it’s support above the breakout levels of 4100+. Does that mean we are again in for a rally in the coming days/this week?

US GDP and it’s impact on Stock Markets / Stock-Markets / US Stock Markets

By: Prasoon_Gopal

One of the most important contributors to GDP as a whole is consumer spending. Consumer Spending constitutes over 70% of the GDP. (http://www.hoover.org/research/factsonpolicy/facts/4931661.html). Which means, the more you and me consume, the more money revolves in the country and eventually ticks up the GDP.

Honest Money Gold & Silver Report- Markets Wrap 5th July 09 / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009

By: Douglas_V._Gnazzo

Gold - Gold was down about 1% last week. In last week’s report I wrote:

Both MACD and STO have turned down and made negative crossovers, (on the weekly chart) which suggest lower prices are likely. This could be the head fake I have been concerned about. Prices could fall yet again and as long as the $850 level holds, the head & shoulders would still obtain, while shaking out a lot of players.

Stock Market Potential Trend Changer / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading

By: Jack_Steiman

There has been one constant since the March lows. Once we blasted up off the bottom, the S&P 500 took but a few weeks to clear the 50-day exponential moving average. Once over, it had never relinquished that key moving average until Thursday. Basically above for four months. When you lose a substantial moving average after that length of time, you need to take notice of this event and what the message is that it could quite conceivably be sending.

Yen Carry Trade Suggests Global Stock Markets Base Building Underway / Stock-Markets / Stocks Bull Market

By: Donald_W_Dony

The "Yen carry trade" has provided traders with a reliable source of near-endless funds for many years. This pool of capital has helped fuel the 2002-2007 bull market. Technical evidence (Chart 1) illustrates the Japanese Yen verses the Dow Jones World Stock Index. Since 2002, the Yen has been trading flat or drifting downward against the USD$. Traders have been shorting the Yen and using the funds to purchase stocks, currencies and high-yielding securities around the world.

Economic Recovery Green Shoots Doused with Herbicide / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009

By: PaddyPowerTrader

Well, that green shoots guff got one on the chin yesterday and stocks got mauled by the bears. The S&P 500 dived 2.85% and oil closed off 3.75% as a sobering Non Farm Payrolls slumped 467k, about 100k more than the wide eyed consensus expectation. Lookout below! The U.S. unemployment rate (red) Versus the S&P 500 monthly chart since 1993. Mmmmmm. Also worthy of a mention is that as those green shoots wither, oil has taken out trendline support and now targets the recent low at 66.25 and the 3rd of June low at 64.95.

Stock Market and Dollar Upward Wedge Patterns - Signs of the times / Stock-Markets / CRB Index

By: Garry_Abeshouse

Over the last 12 months, the USD and now US equities, have formed bearish upward wedge formations on the charts. Upward wedges are usually well defined patterns showing weakening upward momentum, hence the shape. These patterns are known to be very common in stocks during bear markets and were especially so during the period 1929 to 1932.

Stock Markets Jump Out Of The Gate Before Fading / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2009

By: PaddyPowerTrader

Despite the weakish US mortgage applications, ADP jobs and ISM numbers, it looks like your friendly fund manager is front running the perma-bull, expected 2nd half recovery green shoots story. He also went pilling into stocks at the off yesterday running the Dow up 133 points. Food stocks were the big winners with Kraft up 5% and General Mills raising its 2010 guidance. However stocks failed to maintain their upward momentum and pared their gains in low volume trading, following decidedly downbeat comments from GM (government motors) about creditor payments, weakness in financials and disappointing auto sales. Add to this too, the Governator I.O.U of California declaring a state of “fiscal emergency” put the pressure on.

Million Dollar Question, What's Next for S&P 500 Stock Market Index / Stock-Markets / Stock Market Valuations

By: Prasoon_Gopal

S&P 500 has rallied over 40% in the last 3 months. It takes over 5 years under "normal" circumstances for such a rally to occur. But again, folks will say, it takes as many years for 50% downside as well. So, i will rest this discussion at peace.
