GILTS: Flattish Open Seen

Nov-04 08:00

Desks note futures netting around 94.07, although some look for a slightly lower open.

EQUITIES: European & UK Futures Marginally Lower Into Cash Open

Nov-04 07:57

European & UK equity index futures provide a small negative bias into the cash open.

  • Euro Stoxx 50 futures: -0.10%
  • Dax futures: -0.09%
  • CAC 40 futures: -0.10%
  • FTSE MIB futures: -0.07%
  • SMI futures: -0.34%
  • FTSE 100 futures: -0.15%
  • Contracts off lows.
  • Narrowing of betting market odds covering the U.S. election and opinion polling themes (Harris-positive) have generated much of the interest today.
  • Technically, Euro Stoxx 50 futures traded lower last week. Focus on 4,815.50 next, a 50.0% Fibonacci retracement point. Initial firm resistance has been defined at 5,015.00, the Oct 29 high, where a break is required to highlight a reversal. Initial resistance is at 4,943.50, the 20-day EMA.

SILVER TECHS: Corrective Bear Cycle

Nov-04 07:57
  • RES 4: $36.050 -  2.236 proj of the Aug 8 - 26 - Sep 6 price swing   
  • RES 3: $35.226 - 61.8% of the 2011 - 2020 major bear leg  
  • RES 2: $35.167 - 2.00 proj of the Aug 8 - 26 - Sep 6 price swing 
  • RES 1: $34.903 - High Oct 23 and the bull trigger                        
  • PRICE: $32.586 @ 07:56 GMT Nov 4 
  • SUP 1: $32.295 - Low Oct 31    
  • SUP 2: $31.582 - 50-day EMA   
  • SUP 3: $30.093 - Trendline support drawn from the Aug 8 low  
  • SUP 4: $27.686 - Low Sep 6 

Bullish conditions in Silver remain intact and the bear cycle that started on Oct 23 is considered corrective - for now. The metal has breached the 20-day EMA. A continuation lower would highlight scope for a deeper retracement and open £31.582, the 50-day EMA. For bulls, a reversal higher would refocus attention on $34.903, the Oct 23 high. Clearance of this level would confirm a resumption of the uptrend.
