Emini S&P futures

Emini S&P June futures have not hit my next target of 7590/7595 yet.

We have dipped to support at 7530/20 & longs need stops below 7510.

So far the trade is working as we bounce to 7548 & hopefully can target 7555 before a retest of the new all time high at 7569.

Then a break higher targets 7590/7595, perhaps as far as 7645/55.

However a break below 7510 risks a slide to 7490/7485, with good support at 7465/60.

Nasdaq futures

Emini Nasdaq June futures beats the all time high at 29782 for a buy signal.

Targets: 29950/30000 (already hit) then 30450/490.

We held first support at 29750/29650 & longs need stops below 29550 if retested today.

Emini Dow Jones futures

Emini Dow Jones June beat all time high at 50292 for a buy signal targeting 50630/690 then 50940/990.

Both targets hit with a new all time high at 51209...but we have unexpectedly collapsed.

First support at 50300/50200 & longs need stops below 50000.

Just be aware that a break above the all time high can target 52050/52150.

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.
