Chart

9//27 - The DJIA had a small up day while the S&P 500 and the Nasdaq Composite had moderate down days with the following  

Closes: The DJIA + 71.37, the S&P 500 Index -12.37 and the Nasdaq Composite – 77.73. 

Looking ahead  – Over Sunday night, the December S&P Emini futures rallied to a peak at 4472.00.  Recently the spread between the futures and the cash S&P 500 Index has been averaging about 7 handles, with the futures under the actual index.  If we add 7 to the high on the futures of 4472.00, that implies that had if the S&P 500 Index been trading, it would have made a peak at 4479.00, which is just 4 handles from our 4483 potential target.  Monday, we had a modest decline and then a rally into about 2:00 AM EDT Tuesday morning.  From that peak the S&P futures accelerated to the downside, breaking the 4400 level.  If this down trend follows thru Tuesday morning, there is a good chance this down trend will continue for the rest of this week. 

The NOW Index is in the NEUTRAL ZONE.

Editor's Picks

EUR/USD flirts with daily highs, retargets 1.1900

EUR/USD regains upside traction, returning to the 1.1880 zone and refocusing its attention to the key 1.1900 barrier. The pair’s slight gains comes against the backdrop of a humble decline in the US Dollar as investors continue to assess the latest US CPI readings and the potential Fed’s rate path.

GBP/USD remains well bid around 1.3650

GBP/USD maintains its upside momentum in place, hovering around daily highs near 1.3650 and setting aside part of the recent three-day drop. Cable’s improved sentiment comes on the back of the Greenback’s  irresolute price action, while recent hawkish comments from the BoE’s Pill also collaborate with the uptick.

Gold clings to gains just above $5,000/oz

Gold is reclaiming part of the ground lost on Wednesday’s marked decline, as bargain-hunters keep piling up and lifting prices past the key $5,000 per troy ounce. The precious metal’s move higher is also underpinned by the slight pullback in the US Dollar and declining US Treasury yields across the curve.

Crypto Today: Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP in choppy price action, weighed down by falling institutional interest 

Bitcoin's upside remains largely constrained amid weak technicals and declining institutional interest. Ethereum trades sideways above $1,900 support with the upside capped below $2,000 amid ETF outflows.

Week ahead – Data blitz, Fed Minutes and RBNZ decision in the spotlight

US GDP and PCE inflation are main highlights, plus the Fed minutes. UK and Japan have busy calendars too with focus on CPI. Flash PMIs for February will also be doing the rounds. RBNZ meets, is unlikely to follow RBA’s hawkish path.

Ripple Price Forecast: XRP potential bottom could be in sight

Ripple edges up above the intraday low of $1.35 at the time of writing on Friday amid mixed price actions across the crypto market. The remittance token failed to hold support at $1.40 the previous day, reflecting risk-off sentiment amid a decline in retail and institutional sentiment.
