Good morning!
Things are holding up so far but not much of a bounce in Asia with the Nikkei up 2% but the /NKD FELL from 13,200 back to 12,900, below where we took the money and ran yesterday on the way up! Hang Seng up just 0.4% finished at lows of the day and Shanghai up 0.6%, finished at the high of the day. India went up 1.7% so at least they were happy and I guess we'll call them the tie-breaker.
Europe is up about half a point into lunch EXCEPT Italy, who have been in rally mode – they're flat.
Our Futures are flat as well with the Dollar at 81.12 and oil way up at $97.23, which is why we don't rush to DD or roll – you never know how crazy these upside pushes can get but there are still 128Mb open in July with 4 sessions to trade them and now there are 570Mb stuffed into the next 3 months so yes, we're going to stick with this one!
Gold topped out at $1,395 and back to $1,378, silver $21.67, copper $3.20 (off the floor from $3.16) and Nat gas flat at $3.80, after a mighty push up from $3.72 yesterday and we forgot to go long on gasoline yesterday at $2.80 (every Thursday is a good time to go long on gasoline!) and already back to $2.87 to make sure weekend drivers pay as much as possible at the pump.
Shorting oil/Burr – Always you need discipline with the Futures. If they cross a good line, THEN they're a good short. It would have been fine to play for a rejection at $97 but $97 was crossed so a quick stop-out there and it climbed to $97.30 and then failed to hold $97.25 quickly so that's a little encouraging but I hate playing those .25 lines as they offer very little resistance (that was obvious on the way up) now it's $97.11 so we HOPE they fall back below $97 so we can go short with a good stopping line but, otherwise, the .50 lines are more reliable than the .00 lines so I'd really like to see $97.50 tried, as that would clearly be silly.
Oh and McCain wins!
