The German team are increasingly concerned the recent spike up in gold prices has been over done. Technically the metals are over bought and approaching some key resistance zones. Gold short term could extend to 1791 and even to 1803 but this area should provoke profit taking and short sellers to emerge. Gold is over …

Weekly Technical Comments – “A Break of 1470 Would Call For 1490”
The Swiss team are torn between near term mild over bought indicators suggesting some profit taking and the strong bullish internal technicals of increasing new 52 week highs and increasing volumes. Sector wise they are pro cyclical stocks advocating material themes. “We see any near-term weakness only as a temporary pause, so that we would …

Weekly Roundup – “Risk On Rally Likely to Continue”
Another excellent report, in my view, from the guys at SC. Breakouts for the DOW, SP500 & Nas100 is positive US equities. Many emerging market indexes have also bounced up a long way and the Shanghai significantly stepping back from a continuation of breakdown through her support levels producing a possible failed breakdown which always …

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 …

Weekly Bullion Technical Comments – “Below 1623 to 1648 Bearish & Above 1674 Bullish”
The German team re-affirm their bearish analysis of last week. They remain wedded to the view that gold will see a swift decline by the end of August. A break of the long term uptrend line at 1572 currently must be achieved to provide momentum to the move. They repeat the 1325 target with 1299 …

Market Musings – Inflection Point For Risk On/Risk Off
Ahead of the Swiss team’s technical briefing some of my own thoughts here.. We are in a very difficult area of the trading chart here. Technically we remain massively oversold but with the bounces being very poorly supported long attempts have been beaten back and you are lucky to score positively on playing the “bounce”. …

Weekly Technical Comments – “5 to 10 Session Bounce A Selling Opportunity”
The Swiss team confirm the near term capitulation that we saw last week. They expect a bounce here lasting between 5 and 10 sessions. They recommend selling strength with S&P 1250 and even 1210 as cyclical targets. Its hard to disagree with their analysis on this occassion. Greek elections marked for the 17th June and …
