THIS WEEK’S MARKET OUTLOOK CATEGORIES
EQUITIES…. Sept E Mini S&P’s closed nearly unchanged on Tuesday as early buying sentiment fueled by a better than expected reading on US Factory orders faded in the afternoon session. Market participants failed to see strong follow through momentum to mount an effective challenge of the contracts recent high at 1620.00. A “wait & see” attitude ahead of US employment data and monetary policy announcements from the ECB & Bank of England, coupled with US markets gearing up for the July 4th Holiday likely contributed to the markets lackluster closing.
Technically, the September E Mini Contract appears torn by its inability to mount a close above the Fibonacci line at the 1612.00 level and its potential to try and fill in the price gap left from its break of the 1629.00 level. Based on this, it is possible that the market may seek to capitulate in a near term range between a support of 1596.00 and resistance at 1621.75. An upside break of resistance could set up a possible retest of the 1626.00 level, while a break of 1596.00 could set up an initial bounce down to 1592.00. A close at this level could signal further downside movement to retest the 1585.25 level as an initial downside target

Sept US 10 year notes closed slightly higher on Tuesday after overcoming some earlier weakness from a better than expected reading on US Factory Orders. Tuesday’s US data releases were relatively light ahead of the “hat trick of US employment data which begins on Wednesday. The US holiday week means that weekly jobless claims will be released a day early just after the ADP employment report. Expectations are for 140,000-160,000 jobs created. Overall the market appears to like hovering near the psychologically significant 2.5% level without a significant catalyst to fuel a breakout from its near term range.
Technically, the September contract appears to be targeting a range bound scenario with resistance setting up at 126^295 and support at 126^080. There seems to be a slight upside bias in the market which could lead to an upside bounce to the 126^240 level, though this might act as a near term resistance ahead of the full jobs picture. A break of support could result in the market initially targeting 126^030, with a close hear setting up a possible downside target of 125^240.

August Crude Oil continued its march to break the $100.00 market on Tuesday, and it has actually achieved that goal in the overnight session with a strong break of the $100.00 level which seems to have triggered fresh buying which pushed the August WTI contract above $101.00. The market spike in Tuesday’s after session appeared to be triggered by a larger than expected drawdown of 9 million barrels, according to the American Petroleum Institute report released Tuesday afternoon. Upside momentum also continues to be supported by speculation that the ongoing political turmoil in Egypt may create a new level of instability within the oil rich Middle East. Add to this a US holiday break which tends to heighten security concerns in the US and there appears to be little reason for buyers to pullback in the near term.
On the daily chart, the August contract for Crude Oil is registering some signals of being overbought. RSI daily reading is coming in at 73.1, suggesting the move higher may be due for a correction. Support in the near term for the contract appears to be setting up at the 100.47 level, with a break of this price setting up possible downside target at 99.96. Upside resistance for crude appears to be setting up at 102.46. Remember that fundamental news & events could instill heighten levels of volatility into the crude market over the next week, so maintain trading & risk management discipline.
