USD Nearing its Target / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2018
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
Good Morning!
USD futures are still trending lower, although some are calling for a bottom here. The morning low at 88.62 came awfully close to the Orthodox Broadening Top target that I have highlighted for nearly a year.
One wouldn’t be blamed for taking short profits here. However, even as the risk of a reversal rises, the Cycles Model suggests that it still has a week, if not more, of decline ahead. In addition, Wave (5) reaches 1.5 X Wave (1) at 88.16 and 1.618 X at 87.60.

Debt, Dollar and Stocks - A Modest Plan / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Raul_I_Meijer
This is an article written by Dr. D, who last month wrote a series at the Automatic Earth entitled Bitcoin Doesn’t Exist.
It shouldn’t surprise you that bitcoin plays a cameo in his Modest -but actually quite grand- Plan as well.
Dr. D: With all the talk about the bubble market, people are once again saying Donald Trump is a fool, he should never have taken credit for a Dow that’s about to collapse. In addition, how does he think he can get away with claiming we have a great economy made greater? He said in the election the economy was terrible and the Dow was a bubble, that’s why he won.

Good Morning!

Stock Risks to Watch: Choose Your Bear Market Dashboard / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: F_F_Wiley
When long ago a former employer sent me to London to join the other Americans, or mostly Americans, building out its U.K. office, my job was to create a process. In institutional asset management, process was the American way. For sales presentations and especially dealing with investment consultants, you needed process charts that showed information flowing this way and that and, ultimately, morphing through its travels on the page into repeatable investment decisions. Those charts proved your legitimacy as an institutional manager—regardless of whether they described your actual decision making, they let the community know that you weren’t just a “bunch of gunslingers.” Essentially, you couldn’t build a business without your process charts.

Why Banks Will Be Slammed In The Next Crisis—And That May Be Good News / Stock-Markets / Financial Crisis 2018
By: John_Mauldin
BY PATRICK WATSON : While some banks are run by honest folk, others are almost indistinguishable from criminal organizations.
Bank scandals are nothing new in the US and elsewhere. Still, those banks may be one of the best investment opportunities of your life. Sounds contradictory, but it’s not.
Before I explain why banks are such a good investment opportunity, let me go over a few examples from the last decade to provide some context for this trade.

Stocks Bull Market Appears to have a Destiny With 1929 / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The stocks bull market continues to confound my expectations for a significant correction which is just failing to materialise! Firstly understand this, I AM a stock market bull i.e. I am net long of the stock market, so a rising stock market is good for my portfolio. BUT, for a while now I have not considered this ongoing rally to be healthy for the life of the stocks bull market, and why despite being a bull I am BEARISH for its prospects.

Stock Index Trend Trade Setups for the SP500 & NASDAQ / Stock-Markets / Stock Index Trading
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Over the past few weeks, we have been writing about our US major price predictions for the beginning of 2018 and how they have played out. If you have been following our analysis, you have already learned that we predicted a 3~5% price increase in early January 2018 for most of the US major equity indexes as well as a period of brief stagnation near the middle of February. Today, we are going to revisit these predictions to attempt to provide you with our updated price expectations.
As you read this article and review our analysis, please keep in mind that we are showing you an advanced price modeling system that is capable of learning from historical price activity as well as illustrating the highest probability outcomes of price based on its analysis of key “genomic” price patters and technical patterns. The reason this is so important to understand is that we are illustrating 2~3+ month in advance based on our modeling systems interpretation of price action. Imagine having the ability to predict 2 to 3 months in advance with a relatively high degree of accuracy for any stock symbol you like? This is a very powerful analytical modeling system and we are happy to be sharing this research with our readers.

US Markets vs Govt Shutdown: Stock Markets at all time highs / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Submissions
ARB Cap writes: As US government shuts down, markets march higher. Political turmoil does not seem to immediately affect equity bulls. Much of it has o do with the US bond market selling off with 10 year rising over 3% mark only for the second time in the last 5 years. As money pours out of bond markets, it is rolling into equity markets. Are we on the cusp of a super inflation cycle of the likes seen in 1980s ?
The 10 year US treasury bond yield is at 2.64% but it is breaking above the long term bear trend existing since 1994. Money is pouring out of bond markets as the carnage is about to begin. As yields rise, markets start to expect higher inflation cycle which in turn raise rate hike expectation. It is worthwhile to remind the last it did flirt with breaking out of the bear trend in 2014, yield fell back sharply down again.

Central Banks Are Going to Have to “Pull the Plug” on Stocks / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: Graham_Summers
It’s no secret that Central Banks have been funneling liquidity both directly and indirectly into stocks. However, what most investors don’t realize is that this liquidity pump is about to end.
Why?
Because the endless streams of liquidity (Central Banks continue to run QE programs of $100+ billion per month despite the global economy stabilizing) have unleashed inflation.

Stocks, Gold and Interest Rates Three Amigos Ride On / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2018
By: Gary_Tanashian
As symbolized by the 3 Amigos, the macro backdrop is riding on to its destiny. That forward destiny is a top in stocks vs. gold (Amigo 1), a rise in long-term interest rates to potential if not probable limits (Amigo 2) and an end to the yield curve’s flattening trend (Amigo 3).
When our zany friends complete the journey, big changes are likely in the macro markets.
Let’s take a checkup on each Amigo and consider some implications as well.

Why Sometimes, "Beating the S&P 500" Isn't Good Enough / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: EWI
How money managers who beat a benchmark can still "ruin your retirement"
Would you like to invest with a money manager who has a track record of "beating the market"?
"Who wouldn't" you might reply. But, hold onto your horses -- or, in this case, onto your portfolio.
Even a professional manager who "performs" the S&P 500 can financially ruin you.

By: Anthony_Cherniawski
SPX futures got as high as 2806.00, but could not break higher. It was higher than yesterday’s Wave three peak, producing a fifth of a fifth wave, but may not conquer Tuesday’s peak at 2807.54. Should this happen, the SPX may have made a truncated Wave v of (c). At this point, anything goes…
ZeroHedge reports, “If US and global stocks sold off yesterday on fears of a government shutdown, coupled with a spike in US Treasury yields to the highest level since March and approaching Gundlach's "equity selloff redline"...

The Interest Rates Are What Matter In This Market / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2018
By: WMA
The “Trump rally” in U.S. stocks has gone ballistic. Even the most bullish of the bulls did not expect this. A couple weeks ago, bank strategists were forecasting a 2018 year-end target on the S&P 500 at 2850. After the first two weeks of the New Year the index is already closing in on this timid 2018 target price.
Many are saying that the equity rally is due to the tax cuts. We disagree. The tax cuts added fuel to the fire, but if markets are still efficient, the tax cut news should have been priced in last year. Deregulation may continue benefiting the financial sector in particular, but again the broad equity market should not continue to rally on known news. The only reason equity markets have jumped again in the past weeks is momentum – nothing has changed in 2018 (other than perhaps sentiment as people become believers in the unending equity rally). What does matter is the rates environment (plural) – (1) interest rates and (2) the inflation rate. We’ll be looking in this Commentary at where these rates may be headed and levels at which a change in these rates may matter for risk assets.

By: GoldSilver
You undoubtedly know that 2017 was a record-setting year for the broad stock markets. And while gold was up last year despite numerous headwinds, most mainstream investors aren’t paying much attention to gold since they keep seeing so much green in their stock portfolios.
Even I was taken back by some of the data from the bull market in stocks…

Buy S&P 500 on Drop To 2,740 / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2018
By: New_Forex_Trends
Stock Markets have started to show some signs of stalling in the early parts of this year, and this could indicate the potential for weakness given our proximity to the historical averages. The S&P 500 continues to trade near its record highs but the lack of event drivers over the next several weeks suggests that there is a growing possibility that markets could gravitate sideways to lower over this coming period.
