Its all about the US$, rates and US equity indexes. The dollar has broken out but needs to take a breath, rates have bounced considerably higher on the short end and following on from last week we have weakness in US equities but price has failed, as yet, to “break” key supports. We have a …

Asset prices are moving. We appear to have moved beyond chop to something more meaningful, even for US equities. The best way to explain this is via the instruments. Particularly the US$ index and Bullion have given clear signals of something more meaningful than the recent low volatility price action. The two key reserve instruments …

So we have the bounce in risk and this becomes an important point to check the technicals on the progress of this attempt to rejoin and sustain the bull trend. To recap, it is especially important across risk as we have 1) so many risk assets not confirming the recent higher highs ie transports, sox, …

Its been an interesting week which seemed to strengthen those forecasting a stronger US$, higher rates and lower bond prices. This week the team have broadened their report to pick up on the very same issues I mentioned last week. They specifically highlight the very same USDSGD pair that i highlighted last week as in …

The guys are back from their holidays but with a shortened report here. They pick up on the renewal of the commodity bull story which is the headline story in asset markets for me.
