COMMODITY/GROWTH EXPECTATION (HEADLINES FROM BLOOMBERG)

 

GOLD – continues to be the stealth leading indicator on what’s really left in these #bailouts (not much); Bearish Formation for the Gold price remains intact as long as TRADE line resistance of $1599 does; no support to $1551, but that’s loose.

EUROPEAN MARKETS


SPAIN – was teetering on free-fall and tah-dah, another #bailout – or was it just a reiteration of the strong buy bailout that they already did on a different timeline? Piling more debt-upon-debt will only perpetuate the growth slowdown and amplify the market’s volatility in the meantime; TREND resist line for IBEX = 7361.

ASIAN MARKETS


CHINA – down another -0.3% on bad trade data, but finally moves to immediate-term TRADE oversold within the context of a Bearish Formation (bearish on all 3 of our risk mgt durations – TRADE/TREND/TAIL); Shanghai Comp = -12% drawdown from the March highs; should bounce to another lower-high tomorrow.
