Gold Futures--- Gold futures in the December contract had one of the most volatile and crazy trading weeks that I can remember finishing this Friday afternoon down $35 at 1,333 an ounce after settling last Friday at 1,308  rallying on the concept that the Federal Reserve will not taper bond purchases which sent many of the commodity markets sharply higher including gold on Wednesday afternoon, however reality has set in as Goldman Sachs came out stating that they believe the Federal Reserve will start tapering in December which put a lot of pressure on many commodities including the stock market today. I have been advising traders to sit on the sidelines in the gold market & I still think gold looks relatively weak closing right on session lows today as the bond purchasing in my opinion is overrated. The trend in gold is lower at this point but wait for better chart structure to develop before looking to enter into this market as volatility is too high. The U.S dollar hit an 8 month low which also propelled gold prices higher on Wednesday as the Federal government continues to try & support asset prices and it also continues to try to devalue the U.S dollar which is generally bullish commodity prices, however money seems to the flowing back into the S&P 500 as prices are hitting all-time highs while taking money out of gold market. TREND: LOWER –CHART STRUCTURE: POOR Continue reading "Weekly Futures Recap w/Mike Seery" →

Soybean Futures-- Soybean futures had a wild trading week ending lower by $.13 this Friday at 13.83 but having a very bullish USDA crop report despite the fact that we are going to have the 4th largest crop in U.S history, but the carryover level dropped from 220 bushels all way down to 150 million bushels which now means the carryover in soybeans is tight again which should keep prices high for quite some time. We thought the carryover number was going to be 295 million bushels earlier in the summer and that’s how much this figure has dropped and if you go into the next report with possibly an even lower crop than 3.14 billion bushels and a carryover of 100 million prices could really move to the upside in my opinion. The grain complex in general is still in a bearish trend except for soybeans as the spread price between corn and soybeans is right near record levels as there is still huge demand for soybeans and I wonder what the next crop report is going to say as this was a disappointing crop year in my opinion. This year’s crop is only 3% higher than last year’s drought stricken crop which is amazing in my opinion but we just had too many bad things happen this year with cool & wet weather and then hot & dry with a very sporadic weather pattern causing the poor crop this year as now we start to enter Brazil’s planting season which is expected to be another record crop.

Precious Metal Futures--- The precious metals have continued their bullish run this week with gold trading above their 20 day moving average but below their 100 day which stands at 1,382 going out this Friday at 1,371 after settling last Friday at 1,312 having one of its best weeks in quite some time and finishing higher 7 out of the last 8 trading sessions. Gold has been rallying due to the fact that the stock market finally looks vulnerable at these levels & a rotation out of stocks into gold is exactly what is happening with major resistance at $1,400. As I’ve been stating in previous blogs I do believe gold is going higher and I still recommend a long position either with a futures contract or possible bull call spreads because if the stock markets continues to head lower then gold will turn higher. Silver futures which I’ve been recommending a long position for quite some time are trading far above their 20 and 100 day moving average hitting a 3 week high settling last Friday at 20.46 in the December contract and going out this Friday at 23.37 up nearly $3.00 this week and is traded higher in 7 straight trading sessions with the next major resistance at $25. The reason I really liked the silver market was Continue reading "Weekly Futures Recap W/Mike Seery" →

Grain Futures--- The grain market continued its bearish momentum this week pushing corn near 3 year lows trading far below its 20 and 100 day moving average settling this week at 4.52 of bushel right at session lows this Friday afternoon and down about $.10 for the trading week as U.S crop conditions are excellent at this point in time. Traders are waiting Monday afternoon’s USDA report which could surprise the market in either direction but as I’ve been stating in many previous blogs I continue to remain bearish this entire complex and I’m still advising traders to be short across the board. Soybean futures for the November contract are still trading below their 20 and 100 day moving average basically settling unchanged for the trading week and are much stronger than corn or wheat but it hit contract lows in Wednesday’s trade before rallying $.20 yesterday as traders are awaiting the supply/ demand and production numbers Monday afternoon.

Grain Futures--- The grain market continues their bearish trend with soybeans higher by $.15 in early trade only to selloff & make new contract lows at 11.81 finishing right near session lows and as I’ve been instructing traders or investors for quite some time I do believe prices are headed substantially lower in the next 2 weeks due to the fact that the weather is outstanding especially if we can get some warmer weather which should really propel the crop even more. Corn futures continue to move lower once again finishing down $.03 in the December contract at 4.63 a bushel also at new contract lows as I’m hearing from many farmers around the country & they are expecting over 200 bushels an acre which could produce a record crop this fall.
