Stock Market Rally Optical Illusions, “Oil Shocks,” and China’s Headache / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Gary_Dorsch
March 9th, marked the one-year anniversary of the elusive bottom of the most brutal bear market since the 1930’s. At the time, job losses were running in excess of 700,000 /month, and fear was rife that the US-banking system was on the verge of being nationalized. American factories and miners were using 68% of industrial capacity, the lowest level since records began in 1948. Corporate profits fell sharply for the seventh consecutive quarter, the longest losing streak since the 1930’s. The second coming of the “Great Depression” looked imminent.

Structural Weakness of the US Dollar Means Rally Will Not Last / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Bob_Chapman
Every important factor we see is working against the dollar and we believe that trend is irreversible. That means the present dollar rally probably cannot endure and it could well be the time to short the USDX.
Most observers discuss Europe’s problems and the plight of the euro, pound, and the Danish and Swedish koronas. They believe these European currencies will plunge lower versus the dollar and that the dollar will maintain, even after a dollar rally from 74 to 81 on the USDX. As we have said before the euro was unnatural creation born of a desire to usher in a world currency. As we shall see in the future the euro will fail.

By: David_Galland
By David Galland, Managing Editor, The Casey Report

Battle of the Titans, Stocks Bulls vs Bears, Inflation vs Deflation / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Captain_Hook
It’s a battle between the bull and the bear – fear and greed – inflation and deflation – in the stock market. Of course when it comes to this sentiment the same can be said about all markets, which is what makes them markets in the end, however stocks are close to people’s hearts because of widespread participation these days. Today however, because so much of the money in the market is being handled by ‘other people’, being brokers or hedge funds, the concepts of fear and greed are not what they were, with the public now largely oblivious or numbed to the awareness they should have when it comes to their financial futures. What’s more, because of this an unscrupulous financial services industry has become completely corrupted beyond repair, which will be their (and our) undoing in the end.

Stocks Look To Consolidate Gains From Friday / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010

Commodity prices strengthened and the Baltic Dry Freight Index posted a strong increase for a third consecutive session (and the seventh consecutive increase in total) to make a six-week high.

Riding the Stocks Stealth Bull Market Without Falling Off / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Whilst the mainstream press and financial blogosphere obsesses over doom and gloom as a consequence of the sovereign debt default scenario, the stock market continues to show underlying strength with a strong late week rally that pushed the Dow to a close of 10,562, far above the preceding swing high of 10,438. Clearly where the stock market is concerned the sovereign debt crisis talk is just background noise that continues to keep the scared money away from investing, just as has been the case for the past 12 months where every correction breeds panic Sell commentary.

Financial Markets Weathering U.S. Payrolls Report / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: PaddyPowerTrader
Markets have really struggled for direction overnight, perhaps not surprising with the US non-farm payrolls report looming large. US equities closed modestly in the black but the commodity complex was generally a touch weaker, credit spreads a touch wider and the Dollar stronger. Walt Disney climbed 2.9% after Bank of America recommended the shares, while Coca-Cola and Boeing rose at least 1% as UBS lifted its ratings on the stocks. Abercrombie & Fitch surged 15% to lead gains in retailers on higher than estimated monthly sales.

Trends In Gold, 10 Year Treasury Yields, And Crude Oil / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Guy_Lerner
Figure 1 is a weekly chart of the S&P500 and the indicator is shown in the lower panel. This week's value isn't reflected in the indicator until Friday's close, but if the markets closed right now the indicator would be at the extreme zone. If you had been so smart to only "buy" the S&P500 during those times when the indicator was extreme, then you would get those trades seen in figure 1. Winning trades are in green; the losing trades are noted by the red trend line.

The Dollar Nears it's Cyclical Ides of March / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2010
By: Bob_Clark
The indexes closed near the high of their monthly range. The S&P and the Nasdaq have been out performing the Dow. The transports were very strong Friday making new highs for the recent rally. The long term interest rates fell hitting levels last see two months ago, as bond prices also closed near monthly highs. You know a rising tide is lifting all boats when bonds rally, indicating a slowing economy and transports rally suggesting more products being moved and sold. Clearly the market smells a change in money flow.

Gold, Silver, Oil and Stock Index Trading Charts / Commodities / Financial Markets 2010
By: Chris_Vermeulen
Three weeks ago on February 5th, we saw an extremely high level of fear in the market with selling vs. buying volume at a 9:1 ratio. We note that in 2009 this extreme level of fear occurred at the bottom of each significant pullback.
Since this panic selling low in February 2010 we have seen stocks and commodities work their way higher, which we expected. Overall the broad market looks as though it’s trying to make a move higher.
