The Markets:
Charts Courtesy of http://finance.yahoo.com/
Oil rose on Libyan supply outages and the U.S. dollar index fell as the euro climbed higher on signs that the ECB may not be fully committed to its recent surprise rate cut.
Treasuries remained higher after today’s $24 billion 10-year note auction sold at yield of 2.750% with a bid to cover of 2.70.
The Dow, Nasdaq, and S&P erased early losses and turned higher by midday on decent earnings reports.
Among the big names making news in the market today were Macy’s, PetroChina, Office Depot, Scripps Howard, Starbucks, Tesla, and Volkswagen.
The Commentary:
“Silver Bulls had better flex any muscles they might have very quickly as the Bears are out growling and seem quite determined to go a stop huntin'.
The rectangular area shaded and marked support is an important inflexion point for the metal. If it does not bounce from this region and head back up again, in effect reinforcing its range trade, odds will favor a continuation lower to $20 and possibly down to $19.
The 50 day moving average is resuming its downward trend after having leveled off back in late August. It should now serve as an overhead cap to price on any rebound higher unless there is a solid, discernible change in the fundamentals and more important, in sentiment, towards the precious metals.
Gold has also lost an important level of chart support in today's session. This level, $1280, was very important as the price has tended, since August, to uncover some decent buying down here. In the middle of October, it did fall below this point, but its stay down there was only a couple of days in a row at best. If gold can recover in Asia this evening or by Thursday of this week, it will have dodged a bullet. If not, look for the next key support level to come under a test. If the Dollar takes out 81.50 on the USDX, gold is going lower.”- Dan Norcini, More at http://www.traderdannorcini.blogspot.com/
