Talk, why don’t we?

By Phil Flynn | August 17, 2018

Commodities tried to turn the corner on reports of low-level talks about a framework to end the trade war and this made everyone realize that perhaps some of the fears of the backlash from a trade war were overblown. China is feeling the pain of the trade war while the United States looks to be gaining. If recent trade trends continue, it is possible that the United States may find it harder and harder to lift tariffs.

Major Market Ranges for the Week of Aug. 20: Bulls Enter...

By Trevor Smith | August 17, 2018

The coming week of Aug. 24, 2018, sets up trending pivot math in the Japanese yen, a potential rangebound pivot breakout higher in soybeans, and bulls entering many markets.

U.S. benchmarks are off yesterday’s swing high and the S&P 500 is contained below resistance as the week looks to wind down. Geopolitics remain in the headlines and the White House said it will ramp up sanctions on Turkey after the country hasn’t released the American pastor from house arrest.

Crude: Hot dog days

By Phil Flynn | August 17, 2018

The dog days of August that have set in on the moves in the commodities have been exaggerated. While crude oil holds the 200-day moving average, after a major seasonal sell-off, the concerns about a serious demand slowdown are most likely overblown. Turkey, of course, is a major oil producer and Consumer. NOT! The fears of contagion, steaming from the stepped upped pressure from the Trump Administration, has been overdone. We are in the dog days, and oil bears have begun licking their chops, mistaking seasonal weakness for a major bear turn in the market.

USD/CAD tanks after Canada inflation surprise

By Matt Weller | August 17, 2018

With price pressures still running at a subdued level throughout the developed world, hotter-than-expected inflation readings have been hard to come by of late. Perhaps today’s Canadian inflation data marks a turning point for that trend.
