Another week rolls past and this low volatility distribution continues for most asset classes, GBP and bullion aside. This is a very mature bull market so its no wonder that risk asset volatility has declined here close to achieving new highs for many. The divergence between US risk and world risk also continues. US is...

Volatility has indeed jumped and so summer is officially over. The Swiss team have made a significant shift in their forecasts and have called the important medium term top on risk markets as in. In the near term a bounce but unlikely to make much progress beyond prior price highs. They forecast in stead an...

Its been a very shallow trading range over the last month or so. We have some momentum coming back into the market as is so often the case in early September. I’m traveling unfortunately but i bring the Swiss team’s comments that are in line with the recent technical picture. Today’s weakness in the US$...

Its been an interesting week which seemed to strengthen those forecasting a stronger US$, higher rates and lower bond prices. This week the team have broadened their report to pick up on the very same issues I mentioned last week. They specifically highlight the very same USDSGD pair that i highlighted last week as in...

Markets have maintained a holiday like atmosphere with narrow trading ranges for several weeks now as volatility reduces across all asset classes. This, as the Swiss team suggest, is likely to change as the days roll by into the end of August. The latest report is a very carefully worded report with some key levels...

The guys are back from their holidays but with a shortened report here. They pick up on the renewal of the commodity bull story which is the headline story in asset markets for me. Note GL, Anto, BHP (all of which i hold again). Commodity producer charts have surged over the last few months. Aside...

We have drifted in to August and so holiday season is upon us. The swiss team have broken for holidays until later in the month but the usual suspects from GS and Citi are still at work. Across risk there is not a lot of new price evidence here other than new highs in bullion,...

The Swiss team latest report has concluded that wave 5 is underway though near term we are tactically toppish which is likely to get resolved in August to allow for the rally to resume into Sept. Some strategic issues remain with this bull market for now and need to get resolved. Surely their resolution tells...

Another week has gone by but right across international risk there is very little new evidence from price here. We can look across US sectors like the small caps or russel2000 or transports or banking or tech sector or high yield or whatever you chose and there is no meaningful new evidence from price. Internationally...

Another good week for risk assets across the world but lead again by the strong US equity indexes of the sp500 and Dow Jones. The sp500 has made new record highs but lead by utilities, consumer discretionary and housing indexes. The cyclical sectors of soxx and nasdaq100, Russel 2000 have not yet confirmed the move...

Another week roles by and pricing of risk assets continues to diverge between US risk and world risk. US risk continues to be well bid vs the rest of the world. With the sp500 still close to record highs. Within the US markets breadth remains a key issue with some important cyclical sectors showing bad...
