Financials: June Bonds are currently 16 lower at 165’22, 10 Yr. Notes 5 lower at 130’28, 5 Yr. Notes 2.5 lower at 121’12.7 and June 2017 Eurodollars 2 lower at 99.070. We remain short the June c2017 Eurodollars from the 99.10 level. with the assumption that there wil be more than one rate hike over the next 14 months. For the moment my objective is the 98.93 area.
Grains: May Corn is currently 2’0 lower at 360’2, Beans 4’0 higher at 920’6 and Wheat 5’4 lower at 454’4. I remain on the sidelines but will be a buyer on a 25 cent break in Beans and a 15 cent break in Corn.
Cattle: June LC finished out the week a bit higher at 124.125 and May FCsomewhat lower at 152.775. If you went long on last weeks buy recommendation in June LC in the 121.00 area (see Report 4/5/2016) either take profits or use ca protective sell stop in the 2123.45 area.
Silver: May Silver is currently 20 cents higher at 15.58 and June Gold 6.50 higher at 1250.50. We remain long. Take profits in Gold above the 1270.00 level.
S&P's: June S&P’s are currently 7.25 higher at 2048.00. Weak economic data in Europe and Japan keep my bias negative on this market. A close above 2072.00 will tell me if I’m wrong. We remain short. If the market trades below 2020.00 I will lower my stop to the 2040.00 area.
Currencies: As of this writing the June Euro is 9 lower at 1.1410, the Yen 7 higher at 0.9253, the Pound 106 higher at 1.4229 and the Dollar Index 7 lower at 94.18. I still remain long term bullish the Yen and bearish the Dollar Index. That being said, I feel the Yen is overdone for the moment and recommend taking profits if you are long and waiting patiently for a significant break (0.90.50 area) to reinstate positions.
