COMMODITY/GROWTH EXPECTATION (HEADLINES FROM BLOOMBERG)

 

COMMODIITIES – banker bailouts have been prioritized over global consumers now for 5 yrs; that won’t change this morning with Brent Oil shooting back above $100/barrel. Piling more debt-upon-debt is not the way out because it jacks consumers with inflation – and that perpetuates #GrowthSlowing.

EUROPEAN MARKETS


EUROPE – Spanish stocks are up +3.5% right out of the box and way overbought (instead of down -31% YTD, now they are down -24% YTD, but still crashing = short selling opportunity); DAX is the most important European tape to watch with immediate-term TRADE resistance line that matters most = 6338. We’re looking to re-load on European shorts, across the board.

EURO – uninspiring rally given how large the short position out there is; provided that the EUR/USD can’t overcome $1.27 TRADE resistance, it remains in a Bearish Formation (bearish on all 3 durations) – that makes sense if these characters are going to put their short-term political lives ahead of whatever long-term economic planning remains.
