COTTON

Long-term charts are usually very powerful and reveal important information. Over the past four decades  cotton price fluctuated between 95 and 30 levels with the exception of two occurrences in 1995 and 2010. Breakouts from long-term consolidation ranges are usually followed by strong trend periods. Breakout above 95 will push Cotton price outside of its long-term […]

AUD/NZD

Long-term charts usually reveal important information. Historical price levels are widely followed by investors and traders. Australian Dollar/New Zealand Dollar cross-rate is now at a historical support level. This long-term support was tested for the 5th time over the past three decades. 1.05 acted as support and each time the cross rate reversed from this level […]

SILVER and COPPER

Both metals avoided sharp sell-offs by holding above critical support levels. Silver tested the strong support area between 18.3 and 18.8 for the 3rd time over the past year. Copper managed to hold above 3 levels which acted as strong support since 2012. Copper and Silver can rebound towards their long-term averages. 200-day average for […]

INDUSTRIAL METALS

Industrial metals remain to be an emerging market story. 3 year and 5 year weekly rolling correlations show high correlation between the MSCI Emerging market index and most of the industrial commodities. As expected there is also high correlation between the industrial metals. Zinc, Copper and Lead are high correlated industrial metals. 3 YEAR WEEKLY […]

U.S. GOVT. BONDS

U.S. treasury and government bond prices are completing bullish chart patterns that could resolve on the upside in the following weeks. U.S. 30-year T Bond is completing an inverse head and shoulder base and the U.S. 10 year T Note is forming a falling wedge pattern. Both chart patterns are considered to be bullish and suggest […]

DAX, NIKKEI and DJIA

For those who are not a big fan of twitter I’m posting my latest updates on global equity markets. I believe these are important charts and are worth reviewing again. Global equity markets are experiencing a correction. Long-term trends are still intact. Long-term 200-day averages will play a significant role in determining the next direction of […]

MSCI WORLD MARKETS

Global equity markets can experience a pull back. MSCI World Markets index is testing strong long-term resistance levels. A pull back towards the long-term averages would result in a reversal on the MACD too. It is still early to call for a reversal but it is also extremely important to keep an eye on this long-term […]

SERBIA AND SLOVENIA

Frontier markets performed well over the past year. More and more frontier equity markets are gaining strength. Both Serbia and Slovenia equity indices are completing 2 year-long base formations. Slovenia SBITOP Index cleared 700 levels; a horizontal resistance for the cup & handle formation. Index should target 970 levels in the medium-term. Serbia SRX USD index is […]

USD/ZAR

Positive sentiment for the South African rand might be over as the cross rate reaches strong support area formed by the long-term trend line and moving averages. Both 3 year-long trend line and the 200-day moving average are forming support at 10.35 levels. RSI (Relative Strength Index) is also testing 50 levels; which is considered to be the lower […]

BRENT CRUDE OIL

Oil prepares for a massive breakout in the following weeks/months. Magnitude of the price change is likely to make the oil “the hot topic” in the financial media. Why am I saying this? 1) Breakouts from low volatility periods are usually very powerful and are followed by strong directional moves. United States Brent Oil ETF (BNO) and ETFS […]
