WASHINGTON (Thomson Financial) - The U.S. economy is growing a bit faster

than expected and could avert recession, Federal Reserve chairman Ben Bernanke

indicated Tuesday, while citing a "critical" need to keep inflation expectations

in check.

Bernanke also said a "top priority" of the central bank would be to keep

financial markets functioning, and that the Fed was paying close attention to

the troubles of mortgage giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

The Fed chairman, delivering his semiannual forecast to Congress, indicated

that his outlook for better growth and cooling inflation remained subject to a

"high degree of uncertainty."

Good result, even if wasn't quite following the plan. Meanwhile, I've managed to leave about 60pts on the table with my short(s) so far.

Hi guys,

 

Interesting reading from Zeal again: http://www.zealllc.com/2008/vxospx.htm

 

The VXO can be tracked 15 mins delayed here: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=%5EVXO&d=t

 

In short we're looking for a daily VXO close above 35 (got up to 30 yesterday) and then an intraday index plunge to take it to almost 40 (intraday got up to 33 yesterday). Short until that point, then long.

 

We'll see if it holds good....

SHORT Sept Dax at 6160

 

Interesting...closed my short SEPT Dax at 30 +30...

 

It seems I am tempted to close the contract trade when I have already closed my cash shorts profitably...and looking around to book more unrealised gains from falling/rising markets... both today and yesterday market then moved more in my positions direction...should have scaled out...of course..

Have to work on this....

 

So far ..+78 Cash

+76 September trades

 

All Dax and Ftse

Good volume this am...but its keeping us in a tightish range...

    • Date: 17th May 2024. Market News – Asian and European futures followed Wall Street lower. Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   The Dow topped 40,000 for the first time ever, but was unable to close with that historic handle. Concurrently, the S&P tried for its 24th record high this year but failed too. The rise in Treasury yields after stronger than expected import prices, and a drumbeat from Fed officials that rates need to remain high for longer, encouraged profit taking. Most Asian equity markets and European futures have followed Wall Street lower, after US data dented rate cut hikes. Chinese data showing slowed consumption and a drop in home sales, although industrial production numbers looked relatively robust. Japan’s core consumer inflation slowed for a 2nd month in a row in April from a year earlier, while the core consumer prices index (CPI) is expected to decelerate to 2.2% from 2.6% in March, the lowest level in 3 months, but still at or above the central bank’s 2% target for more than two years. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex firmed slightly to 104.518 and up from the day’s nadir of 104.080. But it held a 104 handle for a second straight day. It traded above the 105 level from April 10 until May 15. Silver has surged nearly 25% this year, outpacing Gold and becoming a top-performing commodity, though it remains relatively inexpensive compared to gold. Both metals have hit record highs due to central-bank buying and increased interest in China. USOil is 0.75% higher at $79.23. Market Trends:   All three major US indexes closed slightly in the red after posting all-time highs on Wednesday. The NASDAQ closed with a -0.26% decline, while the S&P500 lost -0.21%, and the Dow was off -0.1% at 39,869. It was a corrective day for Treasuries too. Bonds unwound part of their recent rally that took rates down to the lows since early April. Always trade with strict risk management.
