UBS near term bearish but predicting the cyclical bear bottom in 2012. I’m out of time to comment now but here attached the comprehensive technical report. Dont chase the market and a fake breakout is UBS’s nearterm call. All the best for now. Rich UBSTechnicalStrategy2012
The battle continues. In spite of all the inflationary juice the world’s central banks are pouring into asset markets the world wide the debt deleveraging 1000 pound gorilla is back in town and has started to hit asset markets into touch here.

Many bullish trending charts broke in the run up to xmas. But we have not experienced any dramatic falls that price watchers may have expected. Seasonals have done their magic trick of supporting prices and stabalized things. Of course central bankers and some slightly better economic data from the US has assisted. The DOW cash …

Ok, so where are we? In my opinion, the old trader’s line of ‘buy the rumour sell the news’ has been spot on. Seasonals have a part but they don’t drive the market. We are, therefore, in the process of the entire ‘risk on’ trend breaking. As a general technical and fundamental comment, rather than …

As we can see the technical picture is very weak. It looks as the though the technical breakout has failed, the uptrend defeated. We moved to oversold levels in reaction. We have recently had a sideways move to reset the technical oversold conditions. We are at a level whereby technicall selling could/should resume. The entire …

Markets have risen nicely to resistances and tomorrow the euro meetings start. The good news is …
This is a wonderful story that i had to post up. Gideon Gono, the infamous Governor of the Central Bank of Zimbabwe, is worried about the US dollar it seems.

Short term at over bought levels (and price resistances). UBS expects another few percentage points on the basis of the xmas rally before the cyclical bear resumes. In spite of the mildly bullish call UBS declares selling into strength the better move at this point – which, in my opinion, is the correct move due …

Following the central bank’s actions last Tuesday its been right to wait and see how prices of the different asset classes have reacted to the intervensions before commenting and taking too many actions. On the news last week, it was correct to add risk via reducing the hedging shorts and adding a few euros. The …
I dont have time now to comment fully now but the latest central bank action represents massive intervension in the fx markets. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2011-11-29/stock-futures-in-u-s-decline-after-bank-ratings-cut-by-standard-poor-s.html In summary its clear signal to market participants that no cash is safe. That central banks will be willing to accept overseas soverign debt junk (ie euro debt) as acceptable collateral for …
