S&P 500: Could we still see an upward move?

Recap 8/15 - The S&P opened with an 11 handle gap down and then declined another 12 handles for a first minute low of the day. From that low, the S&P rallied 24 handles into a 9:59 AM high. From that high, the S&P declined 17 handles into an 11:13 AM low. From that low, the S&P rallied 38 handles into a 3:50 PM high of the day. From that high, the S&P pulled back 6 handles into the close.

Chart

8/15 – The major indices had a small to moderate up day to finish with the following closes: DJIA + 151.31; S&P 500 + 16.99; and the Nasdaq Comp. + 80.87. 8/15 Review – We were looking for a possible first hour high and instead got a first hour low. There is a slim chance this could still work if the market immediately turns down during Tuesday’s first hour. Otherwise, we’ll have to chalk up the 8/12 AC change in trend as a miss.

Looking Ahead – We have three points indicating a turn for 8/17. Please see details below.

The Now Index is in the NEUTRAL ZONE.

EUR/USD weakens to near 1.1900 as traders eye US data

EUR/USD eases to near 1.1900 in Tuesday's European trading hours, snapping the two-day winning streak. Markets turn cautious, lifting the haven demand for the US Dollar ahead of the release of key US economic data, including Retail Sales and ADP Employment Change 4-week average.

GBP/USD stays in the red below 1.3700 on renewed USD demand

GBP/USD trades on a weaker note below 1.3700 in the European session on Tuesday. The pair faces challenges due to renewed US Dollar demand, UK political risks and rising expectations of a March Bank of England rate cut. The immediate focus is now on the US Retail Sales data. 

Gold sticks to modest losses above $5,000 ahead of US data

Gold sticks to modest intraday losses through the first half of the European session, though it holds comfortably above the $5,000 psychological mark and the daily swing low. The outcome of Japan's snap election on Sunday removes political uncertainty, which along with signs of easing tensions in the Middle East, remains supportive of the upbeat market mood. This turns out to be a key factor exerting downward pressure on the safe-haven precious metal.

Follow the money, what USD/JPY in Tokyo is really telling you

Over the past two Tokyo sessions, this has not been a rate story. Not even close. Interest rate differentials have been spectators, not drivers. What has moved USD/JPY in local hours has been flow and flow alone.
