Initial conclusion
This is not a correlated market. The dollar is Up+ and Crude is Up+ which is not normal but the 30 year Bond is trading Lower. The Financials should always correlate with the US dollar such that if the dollar is lower then bonds should follow and vice-versa. The S&P is Higher and Crude is trading Higher which is not correlated. Gold is trading Lower which is correlated with the US dollar trading up. I tend to believe that Gold has an inverse relationship with the US Dollar as when the US Dollar is down, Gold tends to rise in value and vice-versa. Think of it as a seesaw, when one is up the other should be down. I point this out to you to make you aware that when we don't have a correlated market, it means something is wrong. As traders, you need to be aware of this and proceed with your eyes wide open. All of Asia is trading Higher. All of Europe is trading Higher as well.

Bias
Yesterday we gave the markets an Upside bias as both Gold and the Bonds were trading Lower Wednesday morning. The markets didn't disappoint as the Dow traded 286 points Higher and the other indices traded Higher as well. Today we aren't dealing with a correlated market and our bias is to the Upside.
Could this change? Of Course. Remember anything can happen in a volatile market.
Commentary
Yesterday we saw the markets change as the morning wore on. Asia was originally trading Lower but shifted gears traded Higher with the exception of the Indian Sensex which traded Lower. We gave the markets an Upside bias as the Bonds were trading Lower and Gold traded Lower as well. Yesterday we had no real economic news to speak but today we have Unemployment Claims, Existing Home Sales, and Natural Gas Storage to drive the markets so time will tell...
