STOCKS : ARE STOCKS ABOUT TO MAKE A MAJOR STATEMENT-TOP, ITS LOOKING VERY LIKELY!  WE HAVE FAILED TO BREACH LAST MONTHS HIGH ON MANY COUNTS WITH RSI'S AT HISTORICAL DISLOCATIONS.

THE DOW WEEKLY HAS TOPPED OUT, FAILING TO BREACH THE EARLY SEPTEMBER HIGH OF 29199.35.

THE EUROPEAN RECOVERY HAS BEEN NOTHING LIKE THE USA, MAYBE TIME FOR THE USA TO FOLLOW EUROPE LOWER.

MANY US SINGLE STOCKS HAVE AN INCOMPREHENSIBLE INCLINE THAT NEEDS SOME SORT OF RETRACEMENT.

STOCKS : EUROPEAN EQUITIES CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE, ONCE AGAIN WE HAVE DIPPED BELOW THEIR 50 DAY MOVING AVERAGES.

THE DOW WEEKLY HAS TOPPED OUT, FAILING TO BREACH THE EARLY SEPTEMBER HIGH OF 29199.35.

THE EUROPEAN RECOVERY HAS BEEN NOTHING LIKE THE USA.

I DO BELIEVE WE WILL ONLY SEE THE REAL ECONOMIC OUTLOOK ONCE PEOPLE RETURN TO WORK OR NOT AS THE CASE MAYBE.

FX UPDATE : USD WEAKNESS, THE LONGTERM FORECAST CONTINUES TO BE FOR A WEAKER USD ESPECIALLY AS WE ARE CLOSE TO SOME KEY LEVELS.

THE AUD IS THE MAIN CROSS TO WATCH AS HOPEFULLY IT CAN POP BACK ABOVE ITS  MULTI YEAR MOVING AVERAGE 0.7262.

USD CAD SHOULD SOON BE TESTING ITS MAJOR 50 PERIOD MOVING AVERAGE 1.3175!

HERE ARE A SELECTION OF USD CROSSES THAT MUST SURELY SEE THE USD FADE OVER TIME. SIMILAR TO THE BOND MARKET REJECTION OF ITS MARCH EXTREMES!

I HAVE USED NON-CORE CROSSES AS THEY ACHIEVED SOME MAJOR DISLOCATIONS IN MARCH SIMILAR TO US BONDS. I HAVE MARRIED THE USD WITH BRL,MXN,RUB AND CLP. THEY HIGHLIGHT BOTH USD AND US BONDS ARE HEADING LOWER FOR SOMNE TIME.

SOME CROSSES ARE AT MULTI YEAR EXTREMES AND REPRESENT A SIZEABLE LONGTERM TRADE OPPORTUNITY.
