Rallies Intact Despite Recent Losses

Rallies Intact Despite Recent Losses

After returning from my brief vacation markets enjoyed decent gains which – over the last 3 days – have given back some of the advances. However, markets remain well positioned to confirm a swing low (even if October lows are breached) and investors should be buying stocks, particularly on days where losses of over 1% […]

For the first time since the Vienna OPEC deal in 2016, Saudi Arabia is no longer complying with the quota as Bloomberg calculates that in October, The Kingdom boosted crude production above its starting point for oil cuts.

The investment pattern of the current generation is gradually tending toward hybrid investment from pure-play theories like growth or value. According to them, to make a long-term investment more effective, the principles of both value and growth strategies need to be combined.

EC Mean Reversion Of Equity Returns And Retirement Planning

Do stock returns exhibit long-term mean reversion? That’s an economist’s way of asking if stocks get safer the longer we hold them.

EUR/USD: 1.1300 Is The “Line In The Sand” This Week

Brexit is once again grabbing all the headlines, as my colleague Fawad Razaqzada highlighted earlier today. The situation remains highly fluid, and with everything from an agreed-upon withdrawal bill to a change in government on the table within the next 24 hours, GBP traders may want to stay on the sidelines in the short term.

In Latest Shock To Beijing, Chinese Credit Growth Is Lowest On Record

In recent months, China has been desperate to inject more credit into its financial system and failing that, to at least give the impression it is doing that. Recall that last month the PBoC adjusted its definition of aggregate financing (or Total Social Financing) by including net financing through local government special bond issuance, which in turn […]

Dissecting The Crash In Crude Oil That Brought A Sudden Bear Market

That escalated quickly. While energy markets were moving higher under potential supply shocks, a domino of events in global macro markets shifted the conversation to too much supply relative to possibly shrinking demand. Commodities are one of the pure supply and demand markets left, and when the shifts in the balances of demand or supply […]

Short Setups If Yesterday Was A Dead-Cat Bounce

Swing-trading short this market may not be done and over just yet.  I closed my position in SPXU (3:1 inverse of SPX) for almost a 6% profit in the Splash Zone yesterday as well as another 2% from a QQQ short. Based on the price action overnight, I thought the market may see a bounce […]

Oil Declining At Fastest Rate Since 2015 – 2016 Crash

With a record losing streak and the pace of declines picking up steam to the downside, the recent decline in crude oil prices is increasingly starting to resemble the bust we saw three years ago. With today’s decline, crude oil prices have now given up over 25% since the early October peak and are within […]
