• Comments for November 23, 2017

    Only a small comment as nothing much is going to happen on the half trading day of Friday.

    The big story of yesterday was the Fed minutes, which showed that the Fed hesitates to increase rates. This was enough to help the US$ down against all other currencies as the rates differentials slightly reverted down.









    In itself, this should have been equities negative. This was hardly the case yesterday: the NQ8/NQ100 attracted money.



    The Cumulative tick was however range bound - which should have been expected during a quiet trading day.



    The only negative was the Vix Futures which started attracting some buyers.



    Conclusions:

    If we only look at historical patterns, early next week should be equities negative. This hence tells us that tomorrow could be an opportunity to trade short for a two days market dip.

    I'll be out in the coming days. Next comment will be next Tuesday.
