I’m very glad to report the German team have radically shifted their models. They stood very firmly for a continuation of the bear trend from last year to sustain through q3 and q4 of this year. They were short term bearish, medium term bearish and long term bullish. But the price action has increasingly pressured …

Weekly Roundup – “ECB’s ‘Unlimited Action Changes the Risk Reward Dynamics”
Ive been following SC’s (high net worth private client) wealth management weekly report for a while. To my mind its been accurate and timely in its recommendations and insights. It nicely brings together the key fundamental and technical strands of world asset markets, monetary and fiscal policy all in one weekly report. The ECB’s unlimited …

The Swiss team have stepped back from their 1200 spx target for later this year. Near term they expect a pull back due to over bought conditions.

Weekly Technical Comments – “Make or Break”
As I suspected the Swiss team are very much where they were a week ago. Insufficient levels have really be broken here. This should come as no surprise until one of the major central banks takes meaningful monetary action. The technicals are confirming the fundamentals of where we are at present. Its a case of …

As we sit here waiting for central action, or not, technical indicators are demonstrating significant moves in either direction. The Swiss team are using the “make or break” term here and now.

Weekly Technical Comments – “Use Strength to Sell”
A facinating report from the Swiss Team this week. They are sticking to their guns that this rally is purely corrective and that July will produce much weakness in the major indexes. I must say, this sits quite nicely with the way i see things as well. SP500 rally to between 1370 to 1390 cash …

The Swiss team make their weekly technical comments below. The rebound has finally come recording the largest weekly gain for a year in many indexes.

Weekly Technical Comments – No Deflationary Meltdown
Here the Swiss team’s weekly technical comments. They are expecting a large inter governmental qe3 event but weakness may extent into the fall of 2012 before a new significant bull leg in equities takes hold. They therefore discount, for now, the deflationary melt down scenario that some are pointing to. They do point out that …

Weekly Technical Comments – “Oversold Bounce Only”
Apologies for the delay in posting this week’s technical comments. The Swiss team stick to their call of last week that equity markets are deeply oversold and therefore a bounce should continue this week before more weakness resumes through June. They recommend selling SP500 levels around 1340 to 1350. Today cash reached 1335 so we …
