SPX Stock Market Retracement May be Over / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Anthony_Cherniawski
The SPX retracement was stopped at its Ending Diagonal trendline at 2082.00, having briefly challenged it at 2082.78. It is now beneath the neckline of the Head & shoulders formation at 2075.00. Head & shoulders patterns allow throwbacks for a brief period, as long as the index does not close above them. This one apparently qualifies.

China Stocks - This Is What a Bubble Looks Like / Stock-Markets / China Stocks
By: Investment_U
Matthew Carr writes: We just experienced another “Black Friday”...
Not in the U.S. markets, but across the Pacific in China.
You want to talk about overvalued? Overheated? The Chinese stock markets were on a tear earlier this year. The Shanghai Composite was up more than 100% at the start of June... and most of that was accomplished between the end of March and the beginning of June.

Stocks Plunge on Greece Euro-Zone Financial Armageddon Blackmail / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Nadeem_Walayat
The Syriza government that like a spoilt child keeps throwing its toys out of the euro-zone pram has been pushing Greece towards economic and financial collapse since its January election win, as Syriza continues to blackmail the euro-zone that if Greece does not get its way then they will take the euro-zone down with them, prompting markets to discount the potential contagion effect of the Greece debt default, bank run saga being replicated amongst other larger Euro-zone member states that has prompted stock markets to slide across europe and the wider world as illustrated by yesterdays Dow and FTSE plunges that have galvanised the bears into action to once more proclaim the stocks bull market end is nigh.

Stock Investors Express Route to Profits in the Healthcare Sector / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: ...
MoneyMorning.com Tom Gentile writes: A lot of Baby Boomers are now running smack dab into their retirement.
An aging population coupled with the rising cost of healthcare and prescription drugs is a potent brew for profiting in the healthcare sector.
And it's no wonder that this company is in the spotlight with long-term analysts.

How China Lost an Entire Spain in 17 Days / Stock-Markets / Chinese Stock Market
By: EconMatters
Concerned about a tumbling equity market, PBOC moved to cut both interest rates and the reserve requirement ratio for banks over the weekend. However, increasingly wary of a market bubble in China, investors still sent Shanghai Composite spiraling down another 3.3% on Monday after the dramatic 7.4% plunge last Friday despite the support from the central bank.

Greece Rocks Stock Market Lower... / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Jack_Steiman
The news over the weekend was bad regarding any possibility of a settlement with Greece, thus the markets in the Euro zone were getting hammered when trading opened up last night. We followed along as usual, and, as usual, we weren't as bad as they were, which is totally understandable, but we were down hard enough to make folks feel that nasty feeling in the pit of their stomachs, especially those overtrading in a risky environment. I had warned repeatedly last week that the risk was running higher and higher each day as we headed towards the deadline of June 30. That was the date when Greece had promised to bundle all of their payments in to one large payment. They made it clear that wasn't going to happen and that's when the negotiations began. Unfortunately they didn't go well and this is the result. We were lucky.

Marc Faber - Greece is Basically Bankrupt / Stock-Markets / Eurozone Debt Crisis
By: Bloomberg
Marc Faber, Editor of the Gloom, Boom & Doom Report, spoke with Bloomberg Television's Stephanie Ruhle, Joe Weisenthal and Scarlet Fu about the U.S. economy, financial markets and the Greek debt crisis.
Describing the situation in Greece, Faber said: "My sense is that they will come to some kind of an agreement in the last minute. But I don't think that's any positive because Greece is basically bankrupt. The debt should be written down by 50 percent or more. However, I have this to say. I don't believe that stocks are going down because of Greece. I believe that the market has been weakening internally for a long time."

Greece - Shoot the Dog and Sell the Farm / Stock-Markets / Eurozone Debt Crisis
By: John_Mauldin
“If this were a marriage, the lawyers would be circling.” - The Economist, My Big Fat Greek Divorce, 6/20/2015
Greece is again all the buzz in the media and on the commentary circuit. If you’re like me, you are suffering terminal Greece fatigue. You just want Greece and its creditors to “do something already” rather than continually coming to the end of every week with no resolution, amid finger-pointing and dire warnings from all sides about the End of All Things Europe – maybe even the world.

Bubbles Never Pop Painlessly / Stock-Markets / Liquidity Bubble
By: Michael_Pento
Investors are obsessed over predicting the timing of the Fed's first interest rate hike. Will it raise the Fed Funds rate in September, or wait until next year? But it is far more important to get a grasp on the pace of rate hikes. Will it be a one and done move, or does this mark the beginning of an incremental tightening cycle? Those of us who are not in the inner circle are forced to only speculate.
But one thing is certain: If history is any guide, whatever they do the Fed will get it wrong. Most market commentators place unfounded belief in the Fed's acumen. But the truth is: I wouldn't trust the Fed to tell me what the weather is going to do in the next 30 seconds -- even if they were looking out the window.

Volatility and Sleep-Walking Markets / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Raul_I_Meijer
It is with immense pleasure that I can introduce the return to The Automatic Earth of my friend and co-founder Nicole Foss. If only because I myself can now retire to a beach chair…. (not).
With the violent swings that have started and been amplified in Asia overnight, as well as in European and US futures, Nicole’s piece on volatility is quite pertinent.

Greece BANKRUPT! Financial and Economic Collapse to Follow IMF Debt Default / Stock-Markets / Eurozone Debt Crisis
By: Nadeem_Walayat
Syriza government betrays Europe and the Greek people says angry EU President Juncker, by Syriza lying to its people on the truth of Greece's proposed bailout conditions and that he has no trust left in Tsipras. Juncker in blunt language made it clear that a NO vote on the 5th July referendum (that I don't think will actually be held) would mean that Greece will be kicked out of the euro-zone.
“’No’ would mean, regardless of the final question, that Greece is saying no to Europe,”

China Stock Market Crackup - The Final Trap Looms... / Stock-Markets / Chinese Stock Market
By: Clive_Maund
What was predicted for China has started to happen with the dramatic failure of its parabolic uptrend just over a week ago leading to a plunge. The update China Crash was posted when all indicators were at "nosebleed" levels late in April, right after which the third steepest fanline shown on our 1-year chart for the Shanghai Composite Index below was breached. Somewhat amazingly, that overbought peak late in April was not the final top - it rose even higher into early-mid June, but after that, just over a week ago, it finally broke below the parabola and started to cave in.

Possible Stock Market Panic Coming! / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: Brad_Gudgeon
Last week, I warned of a possible Head and Shoulders Pattern Top looming. Back in the 1980’s, I learned how to do minimum down side measures by measuring the distance from the head to the neckline and then adding it to the neckline. The current minimum measure is for SPX 2003. I also noticed that quite frequently one could also figure the bottom day of the down side move by taking the first touch point of the neckline and counting the trading days to the head (this case it is 10 trading days from 5/6 to 5/20) and then adding that number (10) to the last touch point on the neckline (6/15) + one more trading, which would give us June 30 for the possible low.Read full article...

Greece Banking System Collapse Monday as ECB Pulls the Plug, Capital Controls Ahead of GrExit / Stock-Markets / Eurozone Debt Crisis
By: Nadeem_Walayat
It looks like the 'game theory' playing Tsipras and Varoufakis are succeeding in having Greece thrown out of the Euro-zone as the ECB after financing every single euro withdrawn from the Greek banks for the past 5 years, Euro-zone tax payer funds amounting to E130billion, has finally today announced that it has effectively pulled the plug on the Greek banking system by stating that the ECB would not extend its emergency lending support programme for the Greek banking system that is haemorrhaging billions of euros on a daily basis.

COMPQ Elliott Wave Analysis / Stock-Markets / Stock Markets 2015
By: WavePatternTraders
The spike to new highs could be counted as a small thrust from a triangle 4th wave, so we would need to see a large decline now back under 5000 to suggest the idea of a possible end to wave [5] of the larger wave 3, short term its yet to show a small 5 wave decline, but if it can remain below 5120 then I would favor more weakness now and target more downside. The NDX failed to make a new yearly high so we have a small divergence between the COMPQ and NDX.

On Monday, It’s China Versus Greece / Stock-Markets / Financial Markets 2015
By: John_Rubino
Fear and greed are both getting a serious workout lately, but Monday will be even more fun than usual because of two big stories that hit over the weekend. First, Greece decided to put the draconian demands of its European creditors to a popular vote, to which the creditors responded by cutting Greece off from new bailout money. Greek citizens, now staring down the barrel of capital controls and/or bank failures, are busily emptying their bank accounts:

FTSE 100 Could Rise on Rates / Stock-Markets / UK Stock Market
By: Richard_Cox
Stock markets in the UK have been attempting to recover from recent declines and regain the foothold that was established earlier this year in the 7140 region. Most global stock benchmarks have had a positive year in 2015 but the story has been somewhat different in the UK where there is still the peripheral impact of sovereign debt in the Eurozone to complicate investment ideas.
