CLIENT TALKING POINTS
Financials
The last long that I left on this list finally blasted the bears yesterday, ramping +1.1% on the day (XLF), and signaled immediate-term TRADE overbought in doing so. The XLF will open this morning with an implied volatility DISCOUNT of -5%; hard not to make sales when an implied volatility premium gets smashed into a discount position.
Europe
Unlike US Equities, European stocks aren’t making fresh all-time highs, daily. With the Euro signaling immediate-term TRADE oversold yesterday vs. USD at $1.05 (risk range = 1.05-1.08), EuroStoxx50 and DAX are both signaling immediate-term TRADE overbought this morning as Greece continues lower -0.7% (-4.1% in the last month).
Copper
The Doctor finally flashes a big implied volatility DISCOUNT Of -18.8% (vs. 30-day realized volatility), so that’s clean cut overbought at $2.80/lb as well ahead of what should be a hawkish PPI report in the USA this morning.
