The dominant uptrend in S&P E-Minis remains intact and last Friday’s rally reinforces current conditions. Moving average studies are in a bull-mode position, highlighting a clear uptrend and positive market sentiment. Attention is on 6508.75, the Aug 15 high and the bull trigger. Clearance of this level would confirm a resumption of the uptrend and open 6523.63, a Fibonacci projection. Support to watch lies at  6304.76, the 50-day EMA.

WTI TECHS: (V5) Bear Threat Remains Present Despite Recent Gains

  • SUP 2: $57.71 - Low May 30
  • SUP 3: $54.80 - Low May 5
  • SUP 4: $54.03 - Low Apr 9 and a key support

A bear cycle in WTI futures remains intact and the latest round of short-term gains appear corrective - for now. A key support at $61.99, the Jun 30 low, has recently been breached, strengthening a bearish theme. A continuation lower would open $57.71, the May 30 low. Key short-term resistance has been defined at $69.36, the Jul 30 high. Clearance of this level would cancel a bear theme. Initial resistance to watch is $66.56, the Aug 4 high.

  • There are no Tier 1 Data out of Europe, the French Consumer Confidence isn't a market mover. Out of the US, prelim Durable Goods and Consumer Confidence are the Data release for Today.
  • Main focus on the Data front is all on Friday, a packed day for Data.
  • Bond Traders will look to conclude Rolling their Gilt and Treasury rolling positions Today and Tomorrow. Friday will also focus on Month End, these are tiny for Europe, a non event for the UK, but decent for the US, just above the August average.
  • SUPPLY:  €3bn 2yr BTP (equates to 17.4k short 2yr BTPS) should have limited impact. {us} US Sells $69bn of 2yr Notes, should weigh.
