Emini S&P futures

Emini S&P SEPTEMBER futures tested strong support at 7490/7485 but unfortunately longs stopped below 7475 before a bounce from just below here at 7469.

The bounce has reached 7554 as I write, with minor short term trend line resistance at 7580/7590.

A break above 7600 is a buy signal targeting 7612/14 & 7636/43.

First support again at 7490/7480 but a break below 7470 risks a slide to 7425/15 for profit taking on shorts.

Emini Nasdaq futures

Emini Nasdaq SEPTEMBER break below 29130 was a short term sell signal targeting 28900/800 for some profit taking....we made a low for the day at 28910.

I hope the trade worked for you.

We have seen a good recovery & are currently trading above yesterday's high of 29558.

The level of 29575/29535 should be key to direction.

Holding above here can target 29620/650 then 29720/770.

A break above 29810 should be a buy signal targeting 29860/890 then resistance at 29900/30000 - a good chance of a high for the day if tested but shorts need stops above 30100.

Failure to hold above 29575/29535 risks a slide to minor support at 29350/270.

A break below 29210 can retest 28900/28800.

If we continue lower this time look for a retest of June lows at 28550/510.

Emini Dow Jones futures

Emini Dow Jones SEPTEMBER collapsed breaking first support at 53100/52900 to target strong support at 52550/450.

Sorry for the typo yesterday - longs needed stops below 52300....so the trade worked perfectly with a low for the day at 52343 & a recovery to 52760 as I write.

We could push higher to minor resistance at 52830/880. A high for the morning is certainly possible - maybe we will range sideways for a while.

However a break above 52950 targets 53130/170.

A move back below 52600 suggests weakness and a retest of strong support at 52550/450.

Again, longs needed stops below 52300.

A break lower targets 52100/52000.

GBP/USD surrenders some gains, back to 1.3420

GBP/USD holds on to moderate gains above 1.3400 the figure on Friday. Optimism surrounding the UK government’s leadership transition and expectations of further BoE tightening support the British Pound, while easing tensions in the Middle East and fading Fed rate-hike expectations weigh on the US Dollar.

EUR/USD turns positive, targets 1.1450

EUR/USD now picks up pace and advances toward the 1.1440 region on Friday, up modestly for the day. With no major economic data due, lingering uncertainty over the US-Iran conflict keeps investors cautious, limiting the pair's upside.

Gold remains offered, still below $4,100

Gold struggles to extend Thursday’s rebound and navigates below the $4,100 mark per troy ounce on Friday. Uncertainty surrounding the Middle East conflict limits the precious metal’s upside, which is also under pressure amid rising US Treasury yields across the curve.

Week ahead – US CPI and Warsh testimony to take centre stage, BoC eyed too

US inflation report and Warsh testimony to headline the week. Dollar to dominate amid slew of other US data and Mideast tensions. Amid fresh Iran escalation, China GDP to shed light on Q2 impact. Bank of Canada not expected to follow RBNZ with rate hike.

Five sessions, one round trip: Why the whipsaw is exactly what Warsh ordered

Markets opened July with a December hike as the base case and spent five trading sessions unlearning and relearning it. A 57K payrolls print bled the tightening bets out of the strip; a re-shut Strait of Hormuz is pushing them back in. Wednesday's minutes from the June Federal Open Market Committee meeting landed mid-round-trip, describing a world that had already stopped existing.
