[7:52am ET] Technical analysts worldwide are reporting the breakdown of significant support levels, ie, a series of recent lows that brought in buying, which indicate that the equity market’s advance since early March is now over, and prices are most likely to slide into summer.
The weakness started a few days ago with alarming economic data, particularly in Europe, resulting in a decline in the Euro and rally in the $USD. The downward pressure on commodity markets and equity markets, which until now has brought in a pattern of buying the dips, suddenly took on a new light as traders pulled their bids. Possibly there was selling yesterday resulting from the uncertain reaction in Congress and on Wall Street to the Obama White Paper on Financial System Reform.
By the close, the DJIA (8,504.67 -107.46 -1.25%), S&P 500 (911.97 -11.75 -1.27%) and NASDAQ Composite (1,796.18 -20.20 -1.11%) were all down over one percent, which, combined with the prior day’s loss, is now down about -3.5 percent across the board over the first two days of the week.
The Toronto Composite (10,307.40 -87.38 -0.84%) and Toronto Venture Board (1,139.19 +6.24 +0.55%) traded in opposite directions, but at the close the Toronto index is now down -3.2% over two days, while the Venture market index is down just -1.5%.
Earlier today, Austral-Asian markets were mixed. Japan’s Nikkei 225 (9,840.9 +0.90%), and Shanghai (2,810.1 +1.23%) were both up, but the market in Tokyo is still down -2.0% over two days. Hong Kong (18,084.6 -0.45%), Aussie All Ordinaries (3,904.2 -1.36%), and India’s BSE 30 (14,522.8 -2.91%) closed lower.
In late morning trading, the European equity bourses had turned weak. The French CAC (3,175.2 6:49AM ET -1.21%), German DAX (4,832.8 6:34AM ET -1.18%) and UK FTSE 100 (4,274.4 6:34AM ET -1.25%) were down about -1.2%.
In US trading yesterday, all sectors except Healthcare (XLV +0.4%) were lower, while Basic Materials (XLB -2.7%) and Consumer Discretionary (XLY -2.5%), and Energy (XLE-2.1%) were particularly weak. XLB is down -6.1% over two days. Weak discretionary spending is affecting the Retailers ($RLX -3.1%). Oil Services ($OSX -3.1%) was also weak.
There was no standout industry, but Goldminers ($XAU +0.5%) were up. Goldcorp (GG +2.4%) and Kinross gold (KGC +1.3%) showed some spunk.
Other Cara 100s that lifted on this declining day were Aetna (AET +4.7%), Nucor (NUE +2.4%) and Diageo (+1.8%).
The $USD rallied pulled back yesterday (80.71 -0.47 -0.58%) and so did the Cdn Dollar (88.18 -0.10 -0.11%). Against the USD, the Yen (103.80 +1.60 +1.57%), Euro (138.40 +0.47 +0.34%), and British Pound (164.07 +1.00 +0.61%) were all strong.
In active US bond market trading, the US Treasuries followed through the prior three day’s gains, although traders are beginning to ask if a USD collapse is being set up. The US long Bond lifted ($USB 117.16 +0.53 +0.46%). The yields for 30-year (4.503 -0.52 -1.14%), 10-year (3.674 -0.39 -1.05%), and 5-year (2.691 -0.29 -1.07%) sank for the fourth straight day, after the World Bank on Thursday forecasted a deeper -3.0% global economic contraction for 2009 versus the earlier -1.7% prediction.

Treasury bill yields were a tad stronger (0.165 +0.10 +6.45%).
Last Thursday we bought the bonds (TLT), figuring this (four-session) counter-trend action would happen.

Yesterday, I remarked that “on Monday, $GOLD closed down -$11.00/oz (928.20 -1.17%). With the European economic data looking worse than expected, gold closed last week weakly (939.20 -15.30 -1.60%), and this loss adds to doubts of the goldbugs. But we are writing puts (a bullish tactic) and cautiously looking for opportunities to acquire real asset-based equity prices at a discount.” Yesterday, $GOLD lifted +6.50/oz to 934.70.
Crude Oil (71.16 -0.15 -0.21%) was a tad weaker.
The spot (cash) market prices for precious metals this morning were unavailable at this point, so I’ll report the late evening prices, as follows:
Gold (934.65 +3.55 +0.38% 23:51pm ET);
Palladium (240 -4 -1.64% 23:46pm ET);
Platinum (1213 -4 -0.33% 23:48pm ET); and
Silver (14.1485 -0.0215 -0.15% 23:48pm ET).
Prices in the precious metals began to improve about noon on Monday, and have traded with volatility. As of 7:50am, the gold price had sold down to 929.30.
Dollar futures were flat earlier this morning, while the Euro was a tad stronger (1.3842 +0.0008 +0.06% 06:37am ET).
Crude Oil futures were quiet Tuesday (71.16 -0.15 -0.21%), and earlier this morning were quiet again, but looking to test the psychological 70 level (70.075 -0.395 -0.56% 06:35am ET).
US equity futures for the DJIA were quiet earlier today as well (8501 -13 -0.15% 06:36 am ET), looking like traders were putting up a stiff upper lip in the face of what some people think could be a waterfall event this week.
CTAB trader’s conference call notes:
A feeble first hour rally steadily eroded Tuesday, as Bulls were unable to defend the 920 level on the S&P (-1.27%), stocks finishing with moderate losses. Traders are now pondering the following questions; is this leg of the advance now finished?; if so, how low can we expect the broad averages to decline?; once the decline is over, will the market rally to new recovery highs?
Instead of grandiose predictions (self promotion), serious traders simply have noted the deteriorating technical underpinnings of the fledging rally, patiently waiting for an anticipated decline, preparing a list of stocks to trade if their conditions are met. Equally important, a back-up plan is crafted, just in case stocks explode higher, contrary to expectations.
Seasoned veterans have the battle scars to humbly accept minor setbacks, using inter- and intra-market relationships to determine the most probable outcome, and the confidence to quickly reverse positions if a low probability event occurs.
Relevant Points of Interest:
• The uptrend off the March lows has been broken.
• The S&P is below the 20-day moving average for the first time since March 12
• MACD didn’t confirm the high last week and now has rolled over from a lower top.
• The S&P peeked above the Jan and May highs last week only to reverse closing back within the box, with expectations the lower boundary will be probed (875-880), as long as 920 is not recaptured.
• Fibonacci retracement levels to monitor; 853, 818, 783.
• Shorting against this 920 area now gives a nearby stop (1% above current levels) for bearishly inclined intraday traders; swing traders may wish to use a stop 1 or 2% above the June high.
• Keep in mind MANY traders are watching this level -- nothing obvious is usually painlessly profitable.
• The big battle for control will be waged at 880ish.
Big moves often occur when major investment markets become simultaneously extended, with large pool operators moving money from one category to another. Would it be difficult to imagine money flowing into oversold markets (US dollar and US bonds) and out of overbought markets, an international disturbance prompting a flight to so-called quality? (US stock market up +40% in three months, crude oil up over +100% in a few short months).
Best Buy (BBY -7.29%) torpedoed the retail sector (XRT -3.59%) Tuesday; could the recent run up in oil and gas already be negatively impacting discretionary spending? Btw, I hope you noticed that the previous day’s trading resulted in BBY being the one and only Cara 100 to gain in price that session, and then the company produced a negative quarterly earnings report and guidance. That earlier bump was actually pump and dump, which is why I say that the market is a game that plays people. The deceit is ongoing and you need to be aware of it, and make demands of securities regulators to investigate such occurrences, which btw are not done by the company but by large capital pools, possibly fund managers working in concert.
As the market is at a critical point, keep a close eye on financial heavyweight Goldman Sachs (GS +0.80%) and high profile tech stocks, Google (GOOG -0.26%), Apple (AAPL -0.0%), Research in Motion (RIMM -0.01%), and Amazon (AMZN -1.18%). These hot money stocks must participate in any rally back above S&P 920; be wary of any rally led by oil and precious metals.
Yes, we like the precious metals, but the recent pull-back in $GOLD looks to us that it was the last one off the dance floor before the music stopped yesterday. We still like the put write strategy, but don’t want to be too early. At the appropriate time, however, we will go in big. We also will take a big position against the $USD.
Why have we reached this point in the market? The Obama Administration White Paper on Financial Industry Reform needs to be negotiated and settled by legislation in the House and Senate. If bankers feel threatened by stricter guidelines and tougher regulatory scrutiny, rest assured they will voice their displeasure by pulling equity bids, aggressively pushing stocks lower, letting politicians know bankers hold the real power.
Hardly a comforting thought. But one to explain why yesterday was probably a market turning point.
Have a great day. Mine will be spent with a dermatologist, getting a biopsy done. Hopefully my skin issues are not returning. But our trading desk will be fully manned and ready for action from the get-go.
