Here’s The Most Important Thing You Missed On Friday
Remember this chart from Citi’s Matt King? That right there is your global credit impulse, and as you can see from the preponderance of red (which I assume Citi used in a kind of tongue-in-cheek way), China is almost the sole source of private sector credit creation. What does that mean? Well, in the simplest […]
Emerging Markets: Preview Of The Week Ahead – April 17
EM FX was mostly firmer last week, helped by Trump comments and softer US data. While this seems positive for EM, the global backdrop remains uncertain.

Investors Fret As Politics Override Bank Earnings
The investment world is often thought of as conservative, traditional, middle of the road, and one that conforms with the norms of society.

Many traders appreciated last month’s article with my most favorite wave patterns. Being able to recognize wave 3 and “end of the trend” scenarios makes sense even for non-Elliott Wave traders. This article adds another two patterns, which I think are relatively simple to identify. That is a win-win for both wave and non-wave traders. Today we […]
Stock Market Bounce Coming?
“Now that enough re-distribution has taken place, we need to extend the decline from the 2375 (s/b 2378) secondary top. This is what my indicators are currently projecting and, if they turn out to be correct, a resumption of the downtrend should start immediately and could extend to a new low before the next consolidaton […]
US Dollar Losing Fed Lift, Gambles With Trade, Hopes For Risk
In contrast to the charge the Dollar mounted through the final three-month period of 2016, the benchmark currency seemed to stall through the first quarter of 2017. While not a full tide change, the bulls were much more circumspect about their ambitions. What lies at root to this downshift is an evolving fundamental landscape which […]
Still Looking Healthy But Risky, Too
Even with last Thursday’s drop in price, sentiment for the S&P 500 Index (SPX) is still showing healthy signs. Take a look at price targets tweeted by traders on Twitter.
