[8:58am ET] At 3:23pm, nearing the close, the broad market was a tad underwater, biding time; but at the close of Friday’s session, there were very large gains and the RSI-7 had hit 90. The stunning computer-generated buy-on-close program was the only reason markets were soaring.
The DJIA (8,500.33 +96.53 +1.15%), S&P 500 (919.14 +12.31 +1.36%) and NASDAQ Composite (1,774.33 +22.54 +1.29%) all closed sharply higher for the third day in four this week.
The Toronto Composite (10,415.54 +23.17 +0.22%) seemed unimpressed, while the Toronto Venture Board (1,124.08 +18.92 +1.71%) did close strongly, driven by four straight days of rising oil and gas stock prices and a two-day rocket for the gold and silver bullion, which brought the promoters out in flocks. For the past two days, an already strong Canadian Dollar zoomed +3.0%, which is speculation based on rising commodity prices rather than prospects for economic recovery.
In NY, the Basic Materials (XLB +3.1%) and Industrials (XLI +2.1%) sectors were leaders, while Utilities (XLU +0.8%) was the laggard sector, although still strong on the day.
Among industry groups, all were higher at the close, but Hospitals ($RXH +3.6%) and Goldminers ($XAU +3.1%) were strongest. With all due respect to hospitals and goldminers, these are not industry groups that lead a sustainable Bull phase in equity markets.
The Cara 100 company stocks that lifted the most were international telcos, oils and mining, again no recipe for a solid cake. Too me it’s too much yeast being injected directly into my stomach, producing little more than hot air. Anyway, Russia’s MobileTeleSystems (MBT +7.2%), China National Offshore Oil Co (CEO +6.0%), and Canada’s Teck Corp (TCK) and Silver Wheaton (SLW), each up +5.7%. There were 19 losers of the 100 as well, and these were also popular international stocks, rather than American: Korea’s Kookmin Bank (KB -4.7%) after yet another missile firing in North Korea, India’s Tata Motors (TTM -4.3%) and Russia’s Vimpel-Communications (VIP -3.2%).
As a great help in pumping up the equity and commodity markets, the $USD plunged (79.34 -1.16 -1.44%). All major currencies soared against the USD: Yen (104.95 +1.75 +1.70%), Euro (141.36 +1.96 +1.41%), British Pound (161.86 +2.38 +1.49%), and Cdn Loonie (91.76 +1.95 +2.17%). I’ll comment below.
Earlier Friday, equity prices were quite strong in most countries. Shanghai remained closed, but Hong Kong (18,171.0 +1.60%), Japan’s Nikkei 225 (9,522.5 +0.75%), Aussie All Ordinaries (3,813.3 +1.58%), and India’s BSE 30 (14,625.3 6:+2.30%) all made more gains than the previous day’s losses.
Then in the European equity bourses, the French CAC (3,277.65 +0.43%), German DAX (4,940.82 +0.16%) and UK FTSE 100 (4,417.94 +0.69%) were higher, but actually dropped over +1% in the afternoon, which of ourse was prior to the 3:30pm ET moon-shot in NY.
In a volatile US bond market, the US long Bond ($USB 117.66 +0.56 +0.48%) managed a gain – the third in the past seven sessions, but second in a row, leading some advisors to recommend US government bonds. The yields were as follows for 30-year (4.338 -1.92 -4.24%), 10-year (3.465 -2.07 -5.64%), and 5-year (2.347 -1.37 -5.52%).
As nervous traders moved into Treasury bills, the yields closed lower for the 4th day in four this week with a yield of 0.130 -0.05 -3.70%.
Crude Oil ($WTIC 66.36 +1.28 +1.97%) soared again.
$GOLD futures also soared Friday (979.30 +19.60 +2.04%), which was a gain of $29.20/oz in two days.
Spot (cash) market prices closed the week as follows: Gold (979.45 +16.72 +1.74% 17:13pm ET), Palladium (234.0 +3.0 +1.30% 17:40pm ET), Platinum (1188 +24 +2.06% 17:40pm ET), and Silver (1188 +24 +2.06% 17:40pm ET).
Stock futures for the DJIA closed the week strongly (8527 +143 +1.71%).
CTAB trader’s conference call notes:
To this observer, the crash of the $USD was scripted because from the time I turned on Bloomberg TV very early in the morning, there was a wave of “Dollar is crashing” editorial. At that point the $USD had gone through three straight post-Memorial holiday sessions on the rise, and until 3:30am ET, the $USD was trading at 80.2, at roughly the same support it had seen since Monday morning. So, somebody wanted the $USD to crash, and those people were writing scripts for the Bloomberg reporters, who were supposed to be reporting the news.
What is going on today is atrocious. Where is the SEC these days?
Do you feel like a frog dropped in the lukewarm water as the heat is slowly turned up, oblivious to one’s impending demise? We do.
Seriously, could Friday get any duller? Are the masters lulling us to sleep, trotting out their minions on Tout TV, imploring us to invest on “hope”, buying time as financial firms desperately raise much-needed capital? Then suddenly jerking our chain, as they did in the final moments of Friday’s trading, to be sure they have our full attention.
Points of interest for Friday:
• Gold (GLD + 2.04%) and silver (SLV + 3.62%) continued their ascent, particularly strong since Thursday morning, the fundamentals too compelling to ignore
• A rare combination of major bond strength (TLT + 2.23%) and extreme dollar weakness (Euro ETF FXE + 1.36%)
• An unbelievable buy-on-close program, which drove the S&P futures +2% in five minutes, which left us shaking our heads at the co-ordination with Tout TV’s usual talking heads
• The Financials (XLF +1.42%) are coiling, getting ready for a large move – one way or the other
But think, now that Government leaders have taken center stage, with promises everywhere; has government ever come up with the most efficient, most cost-effective solution? Wasn’t government in league with bankers to blame for this mess?
Most people lost nearly -50% of their net worth over the past 18 months. A week ago I remarked that promoters were coming out in flocks. This appears to be the start of Silly Season – a bit like the summer of 1987. Please don’t start swinging for the fence, attempting to get back what is “rightfully” yours. Instead, think singles and doubles, minimizing risk while ringing the register.
We stick to that disciplined strategic and tactical Billy Ball approach and our clients appreciate it immensely. Says one on Thursday,
“Just wanted to say thanks for a tremendous job. 9% return in 3 months with only about 30% cash in play is an amazing feat in these times. I admire your patience with the PM positions, which have been very fruitful of late.
The discourse on the blog, especially the trader commentary is invaluable for a student like me.
Keep up the good work and thanks again! I have some colleagues who are waiting in the wings and I am sure they will be on board CTAB by the end of this year.”
From another client, a large account, six days ago,
“We think the team is doing a fantastic job and are very pleased with our returns”.
At no time btw do we solicit comments. We know the serious responsibilities we take on, and we feel fortunate to be able to perform a service for clients who appreciate we are doing nothing less for them than we are doing for ourselves. That is the basis of our relationship, so there is no further need to request approval. Yet, when it comes, it does make for a great weekend. Thank you.
Enjoy yours too.
