THIS WEEK’S MARKET OUTLOOK CATEGORIES
EQUITIES…. June E Mini S&P futures rebounded from significant early losses which appeared to be driven by significant liquidation of long positions from funds across a wide spectrum of asset classes. Another volatile Tokyo session overnight which seemed to hint that the Nikkei index is signaling renewed signs of recession also may have contributed to a sense of uncertainty about future economic opportunity & ability of central banks to effective influence monetary policy. The June contract touched near last week’s lows at 1597.50. Stocks began to regain ground supported by better than expected news on US retail sales, especially in the auto sector, and a significant drop in weekly jobless claims. The recovery began to gather momentum throughout the trading session as near term shorts were squeezed again near the 1620.00 level. Growing optimism that the US economy might be able to weather a change in US Fed policy and some bargain hunting after long liquidations also helped to push the major indices to close near their best levels of the day.
Tokyo stocks are also staging a recovery rally supported by the strong rebound in US stocks. Midway though Friday’s session, the Nikkei is up nearly 2.75% and the Hang Seng (Hong Kong Index) is up about 1.15%.
Technically, June S&P lows for Thursday’s session set up very near to the bottom daily Keltner Channel (see daily chart). If US equities continue to try & take lessons in volatility from Tokyo equities, then another strong downside attempt could take place. A significant breakdown for this contract will not be done by violent thrashing, but through a process. First, look for failures to break definitively through the 1643.50 & 1653.00 price levels. A close below 1607.25 could set the new downside target at 1593.00. If the market can close at this level, look for a possible downside target of 1577.00 to come into play. Upside resistance does form at the 1643.50 & 1648.00 levels. For a possible short term move, look for failure to hold above 1628.00 leading to a possible move down to the 1618.25 level.

Sept US 10 year notes regained some ground, recovering significant ground from Tuesday’s lows as some hopes begin to grow that the effect of the US Federal Reserve tapering back its QE purchasing program may not be as “doom & gloom” for asset prices as many believed. The rebound in stocks off the back of better than expected data on US retail sales & employment data seemed to calm the exiting frenzy of ongoing long liquidation of fund positions. Today’s $13 Billion auction of US 30 year bonds was somewhat light, with a lower than average Bid to Cover of 2.47. However participation was more wide spread, with both dealers & non dealers buying, unlike Tuesday’s extremely weak 3 Year auction. The buyers at the long end of the yield curve appear likely to remain cautious ahead of any tangible change in central bank asset purchase policy or the volatility that goes along with not knowing.
On the chart, Sept 10 year futures could be setting up an overall lower trading range. Initial support level appear to be setting up at 129^000 & 128^250. Resistance appear to be setting up at the 129^180 level. A break of this could set up a move to 129^220. However upside gains are likely to remain vulnerable to shocks at these levels from positive economic data & central bank policy speculation. A downside price target of 127^285 still remains in place.

July Crude Oil closed near session highs, supported by a rebound in equities as well as some renewed Middle East concerns regarding Syria’s use of chemical weapons and the United States publically announcing it will move to arm Syrian rebels.
July Crude on the chart broke through the top of recent range setup at 96.00. Friday’s session could be choppy with some profit taking from long positions setting up just above the $97.00 level. Some buy stops could be triggered here giving the market some additional upside to the 97.17 level. Upside breakout momentum could be signaled by a move to 97.73. A sense of uncertainty going into the weekend regarding Middle East development is likely to set up support near the 96.14 level, though a break of this level could set up momentum down to the 95.82 price level.
