Good morning.
It seems the soaring $USD caught the blame for the overnight sell-off in futures, I don't disagree, I just don't think we can call moves like this days, weeks, even months in advance without the market having shown us first. I do believe markets are pretty efficient, but not the way most people think of them, I believe they plan quite a ways ahead and part of a US rate hike or perceptions of one is going to be a strong US dollar.
We aren't far off the support areas from yesterday's lows/Friday's close.
I suspect we'll see some bouncing during today's session, but that doesn't change the fact we have entered stage 4 decline and decline is what we should expect overall.
As you can see, last night's ugly futures charts that I mentioned, got a lot uglier after midnight.
NASDAQ futures overnight, note the small positive now.
Russell 2000 futures overnight, again another small positive now.
As I've said since last week, I wouldn't buy any of this, just sell in to or short in to any price strength, but hopefully most of you are already in position.
Is interest rates about to start going up?
-
Yes, I know - it does not make any sense - FED is about to cut
rates...but....real world interest rates are not always what FED wants it
to be.
