How's The Market Looking At The End Of August?

Updated with video from Adam at 5:08 PM EST

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your 1 p.m. market update for Wednesday, the 31st of August.

Here we are at the end of August, and the markets for the most part are still true to their trends. One of my routines that I religiously practice at the end of every month, is to look at the monthly charts. I like to see just how the various markets are closing for the month. If you don't already do this, I highly recommend that you give it a try, as it gives you a great feel for the various trends in the markets.

Let's start with the S&P 500 and work our way down to the Reuters/Jefferies CRB Commodity Index.

The S&P 500 closed out the month of July at 1292.28. It appears as though it is going to close lower for the month of August, unless we see a monumental rally that pushes up this index 70 or 80 points for the day. I don't think there is a remote chance of that happening.

Silver closed out July at $39.47 and is currently higher for the month. The same holds true for gold, which closed out last month at $1,613. Despite today's early pull back, gold is still $200 higher for the month and maintaining its upward trend.

Crude oil is in a downward trend and closed out the month of July at $97.37 a barrel, basis the October contract. This market is currently trading around the $88.80 level which is about $8.50 lower on the month. The trend in crude oil continues.

The dollar index which has been going nowhere for several months, repeated its performance in August. This index is practically flat from its July close of 73.87. This market is currently trading at 73.95 with no clear cut trend happening here.

The Reuters/Jefferies CRB Commodity Index also closed flat for the month of August. At the end of July, this index stood at 342.03 and is currently trading around the 342.03 area.

Here's A Couple Of Stocks I'm Looking At

Here's a couple of stocks I'm looking at that I think represent fairly low risk. I expect both of them to resume their downward trends as their technical picture is not a positive one longer-term. The first one is Citigroup, symbol C and the next stock is Hewlett-Packard, symbol HPQ.
So let's go right to the charts and see with the markets and telling us right now.
As always, we rely on our market proven Trade Triangle technology for catching the big moves.

Is The Market Ready For A Rally?

Updated with video from Adam at 5:16 EST.

Hello traders everywhere!  Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your 1 p.m. market update for Tuesday, the 30th of August.

The equity markets put in a very strong performance yesterday, pushing to their best levels since August 5th.  We would not be surprised to see this very overbought market possibly rally to the 1230 area and 1250 zone.

The gold market once again bounced over the $1,800 an ounce hurdle and is currently trading at $1,822.  This market needs to regroup further if it is going to challenge the $2000 level.  The trend is in a positive mode despite the recent $200 pullback.

Crude oil is now very much overbought and approaching the upper levels of the Donchian trading channel.  We expect that this channel and the fact that this market is overbought will provide enough resistance to any halt any further upside action.

The dollar index continues to bounce off the support level of 73.50 which we have outlined on numerous occasions.  Currently this market is trading at 74.00.

The CRB index has rallied quite dramatically after making a low on August 9th.  This market is largely reflective of the move in crude oil.

It Has Been Quite A Week

Hello traders everywhere!  Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your 1 p.m. market update for Friday, the 26th of August.

It has been quite a week here in the Northeast, where MarketClub and INO.com are located.  We had an earthquake on Tuesday measuring 5.8, which by our standards is huge!  And if that were not enough, we are batting down the hatches as it looks like we are going to get slammed by hurricane Irene.

It makes the volatility in the markets look like a cake walk.

Let's see how the markets are playing out and go to the 6 major markets we track every day. Continue reading "It Has Been Quite A Week"

Earthquake, Hurricane, and Warren Buffett

Hello traders everywhere! Adam Hewison here, co-founder of MarketClub with your 1 p.m. market update for Thursday, the 25th of August.

Boy what a week we are having!

First, Mother Nature sends an earthquake AND hurricane Irene to the east coast, then we get news that Warren Buffet is buying 5 billion dollars worth of Bank of America stock. The only thing that seems to be holding true is that the trend has remained our friend here at MarketClub!
