Weekly Technical Analysis – “Spike in Market Breadth is Bullish, New Key SP500 Support 1729!”

by on
A great report. The market breadth issue is meaningful and as the guys only comment on the technical I’d just make the point that this is fully explained by the shift back down in US fixed income rates in the last 4 weeks. The ten year today has slipped back down to 2.5% and this...

SBank-Quarterly Commodities Q4 2013

by on
SBank have a reputation to keep in the commodities space. Their latest quarterly is pretty bearish.
