Results & Update: S&P 500 Index one of the biggest of the month with four powerful top notch events

Recap 4/08  – Friday, the S&P opened with a 6 handle gap down and then declined another 19 handles into a 9:59 AM low of the day. From that low, the S&P rallied 45 handles into a 12:29 PM high of the day.  From that high,  the S&P declined about 34 handles into the close.

4/08 – The major indices had a divergent mixed up and down day to finish per the following closes:  INDU + 137.55; S&P 500 - 11.93: and the NASDAQ Composite - 186.30.         

Looking ahead  - Our next change in trend window is for 4/08 AC and is one of the biggest of the month with four powerful top notch events. 

However, Friday’s price action was not very promising in providing a good set up.  We look for the market to get to some extreme as it approaches a change in trend window.  The bigger the extreme the better.  Usually, the bigger the change in trend window, the bigger extreme.  Obviously, this was not the case on Friday.  The only thing that could qualify this for a potential good entry is a big gap up or down on Monday.  Otherwise, this may indicate that the market is stuck in a sideways range for a while.  Please see details below. 

The Now Index is in the NEUTRAL ZONE.

AUD/USD extends the range play above 0.7200 as traders await US inflation data

AUD/USD is seen extending its consolidative price move above 0.7200 during the Asian session on Thursday amid mixed cues. Rising RBA rate-hike bets keep the Aussie close to its highest level since May 14. However, hawkish Fed expectations and escalating US-Iran tensions offer some support to the US Dollar, capping the currency pair as traders await US inflation figures.


USD/JPY consolidates around 153.50 as bears turn cautious ahead of US inflation

USD/JPY stabilizes above 153.50 during the Asian session on Thursday, but remains near a seven-month low set earlier this week as hawkish BoJ repricing continues to underpin the Japanese Yen. Meanwhile, rising September Fed rate-hike bets and escalating US-Iran tensions help ease US Dollar selling pressure, offering some support to the currency pair ahead of US inflation figures.

Gold regains balance above $4,400

Gold rebounds on Wednesday, snapping a three-day losing streak and reclaiming the are beyond the key $4,400 mark per troy ounce. The precious metal’s bounce comes amid further selling pressure on the US Dollar and steady uncertainty on the geopolitical front.

Oil surge drives Equity rout
The traditional September selling in equities really seems to be taking hold thanks to higher oil prices, says Chris Beauchamp, Chief Market Analyst at online trading and investing platform IG. The second oil surge in a year has really begun to drag stock markets lower, as it combines with pre-CPI anxiety among investors who already regard next week’s Fed meeting with plenty of trepidation.
Jobs opened the door for the Fed — inflation decides whether it walks through

The latest US jobs report did not end the debate over the Federal Reserve’s (Fed) next move. It may have done something more subtle: it gave policymakers permission to keep their options open. After months of softer labour market signals, August delivered a stronger-than-expected rebound.

Venezuela’s 65-billion-barrel Oil deal could reshape America’s inflation fight
The United States (US) has secured unprecedented access to part of Venezuela’s vast Oil reserves. The timing is particularly significant as the war with Iran is disrupting Middle Eastern supplies, keeping energy prices elevated and reviving concerns about inflation.
