Gold traded lower Tuesday as it extends the bear cycle that started Oct 20. Note that the trend is overbought and the deeper retracement is allowing this condition to unwind. Support at the 20-day EMA, at $4037.0, has been breached, signalling scope for a deeper retracement, towards the 50-day EMA, at $3842.8. Key resistance and the bull trigger has been defined at $4381.5, the Oct 20 high. Initial resistance is at $4161.4, the Oct 22 high.

EGB OPTIONS: J.P.Morgan Recommend Longs In DUZ5 107.00/107.20 Call Spread

Sep-29 07:18

{GE} SCHATZ OPTIONS: J.P.Morgan recommended fading the recent cheapening via going long the DUZ5 107.00/107.20 call spread at 5.75 late on Friday.

  • They noted that “front-end yields have risen recently and are close to the highs seen since U.S. tariff announcement in early April. While we favour fading this cheapness, we avoid outright duration exposure given recent momentum and the fact that we see limited near-term catalyst that would push yields sustainably lower”.
