WTI Crude Oil The WTI Crude Oil market has been noisy during training on Wednesday, dropping as low as $64 before bouncing. By the end of the day, we formed a bit of a hammer, so it looks as if the buyers are willing to step in and pick up these dips, and I think […]
China Cracks Down On Jaywalkers With AI, Facial Recognition, & Automated Fines

China Cracks Down On Jaywalkers With AI, Facial Recognition, & Automated Fines

As we pointed out earlier this week, China’s lack of data protection laws and its determination to overtake the US as the world-leader in AI technology poses a serious threat to US technological hegemony. As Russian President Vladimir Putin once said, whoever dominates the AI race could one day rule the world. Well, another advantage that China has […]
Euro May Fall If German Inflation Data Disppoints

Euro May Fall If German Inflation Data Disppoints

German CPI data headlines the economic calendar in European trading hours. The headline on-year inflation rate is expected to rise to 1.7 percent, marketing the first increase in four months and the highest reading since December 2017.

Materials Build On A Bearish Breakdown

Materials Build On A Bearish Breakdown

This picture is exactly what I do not want to see as the stock market struggles to hold critical technical supports: a major index of economically-sensitive stocks confirming a breakdown of support at its 200-day moving average (DMA). The Materials Select Sector SPDR ETF (XLB) lost 1.3% on a day when the S&P 500 (SPY) only […]
Why Aren’t Stocks Climbing The Wall Of Worry Anymore?

Why Aren’t Stocks Climbing The Wall Of Worry Anymore?

According to Bank of America’s research team, 87% of prior bull-to-bear transitions involved increases in volatility. That’s not particularly surprising. Anyone who has experienced a stock bear probably remembers months and months of extraordinary price swings. In the current bull portion of the bull-bear cycle (3/09-?), each of the previous corrections offered buying opportunities. For […]

E Market Briefing For Thursday, March 29

I’ve got no idea why pundits continued to describe the week’s more dramatic oscillations, and Wednesday’s comparatively milder choppiness, as just an impossible to comprehend forest of uncertainty.
