THIS WEEK’S MARKET OUTLOOK CATEGORIES
EQUITIES…. Sept E Mini S&P futures continued to ride the hopeful wave of the Federal Reserve dove on Tuesday. The broad indices closed near the highs of the session as more market participants bet the US Federal Reserve and Fed Chairman Bernanke will maintain a more accommodative QE policy, even as far as pulling back on asset purchases to a point that if the economy begins to falter as a result of a pullback, it would be inclined to return to active participation sooner rather than later. Equity markets around the world were supported by mostly better than expected data releases. German ZEW economic sentiment, one of the more closely watched indicators of potential economic growth came in better than expected. US homebuilder data came in somewhat mixed. New housing starts came in softer than expected, though building permits did come in on the high side of the range. This does suggest the potential for ongoing growth in the US homebuilding & real estate sector, an economic component that has been historically tied to growth within the US Economy. Markets are likely to post a quiet overnight session ahead of Wednesday’s US Federal Reserve decision and post meeting press conference. It usually takes a session for market participants to digest the meeting results. So with that & quadruple witching on Friday, look for some potential choppy market activity, especially around the 1643.00 to 1651.00 trading range on the E Mini S&P.
Tokyo stocks opened higher following the strong gains in the US. Japan’s trade deficit numbers came in better than expected, just under Y1 Trillion yen.
Technically, September E Mini contract rebound, while not firmly within overbought territory yet, could be forming what seems to be a head & shoulders pattern starting back on June 7th. While additional upside on the contract is possible, expect possible resistance to develop near the 1653.25 area. A break of this resistance level could lead the way to a move back to test 1658.00 The run up supported by a possible “buy the rumor, sell the fact” from US Fed speculation could result in some profit taking which may draw the market back initially to the 1637.25 level. A growth of downside momentum could increase from a break of 1628.00, with significant support setting up at the 1620.00 level.

Sept US 10 year notes continue to trade in a narrow range this week as the market participants in the interest rate sectors await further direct cues from the US Federal Reserve meeting on Wednesday.
Resistance continues to hold near the 129^245-129^250 level, which is also being guided by a mid Keltner channel offering additional resistance as any new long positions seem to be awaiting clarification from the Fed. The market may seek to retest the downside at 128^280, with a break of this level setting up a possible downside target of 128^220 initially. Upside spikes that carry momentum to push through initial resistance could find new upside barriers at the 129^290 and 130^060 levels

August Crude Oil moved higher again on Tuesday, supported by higher equity prices and expectations that draw downs in supply will continue as refinery runs are expected to remain high. No new developments on the Syrian front ahead of Wednesday’s G8 discussion regarding details about the transition of power should anti government forces regain momentum in the ongoing military struggle there. The Fed’s rate decision on its effect upon the direction of the US dollar and economic outlooks will likely have some influence upon further gains or a pullback on some profit taking.
The August WTI contract continues to struggle within a range between 98.80 & 97.70. Several attempts to break this resistance levels have failed, but it does seem to show some signs of wear. A significant break of this level could find some initial resistance at the 99.30 level. Downside momentum would need likely need a confirmation via an initial break of the 97.47 level, with support setting up for a downside move in this area at 96.62
