Stock Market Rally Appears Complete / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
The trendline has been hit at 2117.11. There may be some probing around at that level, but it appears that all but the shouting may now be over.
This rally took 85 hours. The final decline in Wave (B) took 44 hours, so the combined average is divisible by 4.3.

Slow Death Of Markets / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: InvestingHaven
In our May webinar, we discussed how hard markets have become, and how to invest in them. The key trend we identified is that central banks are distorting market behavior and capital flows. As our webinars are actionable, we analyzed several ways to deal with these markets and still be profitable.

Bad U.S. Jobs Report Prompts Stocks Bear Market Rally Towards New All Time Highs! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Friday's US jobs report was apparently one of the worst of President Obama's presidency, that saw the US economy add a good 100k fewer jobs than the market consensus was expecting (38k against 160k). That and severe profits warnings from the likes of the mega-bank Citicorp sowed the seeds for what the bears had been praying for all year, finally the bear market that apparently began in August 2015 was now set to resume with a vengeance with even some calling for an opening flash crash!

Stocks Report, European Commission in Panic Over New Brexit Opinion Poll / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Christopher_Quigley
In 17 days time, on the 23rd. of June, Britain goes to the polls to decide whether to stay in the European Union or not. Should Great Britain opt to leave it will send financial and political shock waves around the world. Many believe a win for the leave faction would put Europe’s stressed banking system under such pressure that a “Lehman Brothers type event” could occur, the main candidate being Deutsche Bank with its 75 trillion derivative exposure. Thus June 2016 could turn out to be one of the most volatile trading months in financial history.

SPX Still Working on Final Wave? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX is challenging its Thursday afternoon high at 2105.26. It appears that it is still working on Wave 5. This may be the final thrust ending near 2110.00. If so, it may not change the wave structure illustrated in the chart.

By: Jeff_Berwick
Recently Barack Obama urged citizens to be prepared. He broke this new ground in a May 31st speech to the FEMA National Response Coordination Center in Washington.
He explained that it was up to each citizen to be prepared for disasters. This preparation should extend to “having an evacuation plan” and “having a fully stocked disaster supply kit.”

Two Charts That Prove Central Banks Are Losing Control / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: Graham_Summers
The markets opened weak yesterday when the ECB announced no new policies.
The ECB is out of options. Mario Draghi has cut rates into NIRP four times and spent nearly €1 trillion in QE. Looking at the EU’s inflation rate, you wouldn’t think the ECB had done anything.

Bonds, Stocks, Gold and Silver ‘Inflation Trade’ Alive and Well / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: Gary_Tanashian
I don’t write the title because the precious metals took off today on the bad jobs report. Far from it. That is what gold is supposed to do under such circumstances as its fundamentals got a boost and the perceptions of a hawkish Fed got repelled.
I write the title despite the fact that the inflation barometer, TIP/TLT, tanked and commodities were moderate, post-jobs. Yesterday we noted: Inflation Expectations Sagging, including a declining TIP/TLT and a bullish looking TLT (each a form of non-inflationary signaling). Today they got bearisher and bullisher, respectively.

The Gryphon Review - Global Market Analysis / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: David_Chapman
The Great Housing Recovery ^Not!
New home sales just leaped to an eight-year high. Many were pleased with the gain, and as a result felt that the Fed could stay on course to hike interest rates at their June meeting. But the gain masks what is actually a bigger problem. New home sales are barely half their peak of 2006; housing starts are also barely half of their peak; existing home sales are doing better but are still 25% off of their peak; and, while housing price gains have been good, they also languish off 10% from their peak. Mortgage debt is actually down roughly $1 trillion from its peak, but the banks needing business are once again offering low down-payment mortgages to first time buyers. Mortgages are down because many don’t qualify, and many millennials who would like to get into the housing market are being held back with low-paying jobs and living in their parents’ basement. A series of charts demonstrate that the great housing leap is not that great after all.

Prominent Billionaire Investors Warn of Financial Crash, Quietly Position Themselves / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: MoneyMetals
Welcome to this week’s Market Wrap Podcast, I’m Mike Gleason.
Coming up Michael Rivero of WhatReallyHappened.com updates us on some of the key developments in the ongoing attempt by the central planners to bring about a one world government, when and why we’re likely to see a massive inflationary uptick in the not too distant future, and how gold and silver may end up being the key beneficiaries as the masses discover them as the safe haven assets to own. Don’t miss our explosive interview with a man who pulls no punches, Michael Rivero, coming up after this week’s market update.
After suffering through a sharp pullback in May, gold and silver markets could be eyeing a bottom in the trading so far in June. Gold touched the $1,200 level on Tuesday and managed a small bounce off that key level. As of this Friday morning recording, gold is surging and is up close to $30 so far on the day with the spot price coming in at $1,241 an ounce now, up 2.2% for the week.

US Dollar Plummets - Good Show! / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
USD/DXY plummeted to a low of 93.99 this morning. This falls into line with my thesis that lower stock values also means a lower dollar price. USD is now beneath its 50-day Moving Average a 94.62 and is on a sell signal. We may see a bounce at the Cycle Bottom support at 92.92, with one final plunge to its target.

The Fed, Stock Market and the Miners / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Brad_Gudgeon
From this vantage point, it looks as though the precious metals complex will trade opposite the stock market throughout the month of June. The miners look as though they are bottoming, while the stock market looks as though it is topping. The jobs report on June 3rd will likely play with investors minds until June 15th, when all should reverse.

Stock Market No New High? / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
This Wave [B] at the 2111.05 high appears to be a 3-3-3 wave affair. It would be more acceptable to have a Wave 5 at today’s high and maybe it may happen tomorrow, changing the Wave [B] to a 3-3-5 wave pattern, which is more familiar to most analysts. However, the pattern works, as is.

SPX Appears "Heavy" / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2016
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
The SPX Premarket appears heavy, but not down enough to make a difference. So we are in a sideways consolidation until a breakout or breakdown occurs. So far, the market has reacted to its Pi date on Tuesday. We may not get follow-through until tomorrow, when the monthly Jobs Report comes out.
