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."

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: 30th May 2024.   Market News – Yields jump; Stocks under pressure.   Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   The FOMC’s high-for-longer stance, along with some increasing fears of a rate hike, continue to weigh on Treasuries. That’s taking a toll on Wall Street too with profit taking from recent record highs knocking stocks down further. There was weakness in EGBs after stronger German inflation and wage data. US Yields have risen since the market breathed a sigh of relief after cooler CPI and retail sales, and are back near the highs since November. Global equities are headed for their worst week since mid-April. In New Zealand, the new government delivered on its election promise to cut taxes in its first budget even as the Treasury forecast bigger deficits and a delayed return to surplus. Asian & European Open: Wall Street dropped, led by the Dow’s -1.06% decline. The S&P500 declined -0.74%, with the NASDAQ -0.58% lower. Several earnings reports have been less than stellar as well. Salesforce disappointed today, while HP beat. Meanwhile, retailers are coming into the spotlight and there are fears of weakness. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex has been benefiting from the hawkish outlooks. It has bounced back over 105. The USDJPY fell, with the Yen advancing after weakening to beyond 157.50 on Wednesday, falling through a level that had prompted the latest round of suspected action. The Rand extended losses as South Africa’s election vote count gathers pace. Gold and Oil steadied. USOIL is well below the week’s high however it has been ranging since  yesterday afternoon as traders look to US stockpile data later today and an OPEC+ meeting at the weekend for more clarity on the supply and demand outlook.

    • Date: 29th May 2024. Market News – Stocks drop with bonds.Economic Indicators & Central Banks:   The NASDAQ was the star as the markets, of it rallied 0.59% to close at 17,019.88 for a fresh record high. And it is its first time over the 17,000 level. A 7% pop from Nvidia supported. Fed Kashkari said he wants to see “many more months” of positive inflation data before a rate cut. German GfK consumer confidence improves further. All signs are that consumption trends should improve with the rise in real-disposable income as falling inflation, rising wages and the prospect of rate cuts boost sentiment. US consumer confidence beat assumptions. Confidence has displayed only a slight updraft since mid-2022, after a prior deterioration from mid-2021 peaks. Asian & European Open: European & US stocks slipped earlier today against a backdrop of rising government bond yields. DAX fell 0.2% and FTSE lost 0.06%. Traders are pricing in that the ECB will lower its deposit rate when policymakers meet next week. Asia stock market dipped as Chinese tech and property companies declined. The Hang Seng Tech index shed 2.3%. Financial Markets Performance: The USDIndex is steady and Treasury yields also held firm ahead of key inflation data, which could offer more clarity on the Fed rate trajectory. The USDJPY fell to 156.88 nearing levels that prompted suspected interventions by Tokyo in late April and early May. Currently rebounded again above 157. Japanese officials might issue verbal warnings again, but without tangible action, the USDJPY could march towards late April levels The EURUSD dipped to 1.0830 but still marked its first monthly gain in 2024. Meanwhile, the GBPUSD was last at 1.2760. Gold steadied at $2350 per ounce as markets wait for key US PCE numbers at the end of the week. Bullion hit a record high early last week, only to post the sharpest weekly correction this year as the Fed reiterated the “high-for-longer” message. Oil broke the $80 barrier as Middle East tensions have picked up again. Markets are now looking ahead to the release of key US inflation data and the OPEC+ meeting on June 2.
