Cara's Daily Report and Commentary, Tues., Oct 30, 2007

Ahead of the start of the two-day FOMC session, the Winds of (the trading) War have shifted from flat-out bullish to being somewhat negative early this morning. At this point across Europe and the Asia-Pacific markets, only Shanghai remains effervescent.

US Equity Markets Review

DJIA (interactive) chart

Traders yesterday were downright over the moon as the DJIA advanced +64 points to close the session at 13870.26. Starting with historic sessions in Asia-Pacific markets, the global enthusiasm for a consensus 50 basis point cut in the Fed Rate was translated into much higher equity prices.

Traders go with the flow, but at times prepare themselves to exit long positions early. Today is a sign that short-term traders are doing some of that. My concern, however, is for the long-term trader.

I have pointed out for several weeks that “selling into strength the stocks in your portfolio that have already had a Sell Alert and then a subsequent big run-up in price to a second Sell Alert is usually the right decision.”


NASDAQ Composite (interactive) chart

The Nasdaq Composite gained +0.47 pct on the day to close at 2817.44. There is some technical support at 2725 should there be a pull-back.

The two weakest sectors are (1) technology in the form of the semi-conductors and (2) telecom. Perhaps there are concerns over corporate earnings, and perhaps it is the lower guidance moving forward.

Commodities Review

$CRB has hit 349.43, up 3.56. Wow. This is nose-bleed territory for govt officials who have been saying there is no inflation to worry about. It was only August when I opined that the Fed did not want to see the index above 320. Let’s just agree it is out of control.

Commodity price increases today mean inflated wages and prices tomorrow. And, of course, more lies from the Administration that inflation is either not happening or under control, and they have their eye on it. (LOL)

Oil Review

December Crude Oil (e-MiNY) futures hit a record 93.58 at the close and 93.70 mid day. I continue to say, this is out of control -- that is, not the oil price, but the Admin, and the political policies of the US. Wasn’t the price just about $20 in early 2003, and $40 at the end of 2004? How high can it go?

Isn’t that a question of how low can the USD go?

Here is the e-miNY Sept-07 Crude Oil chart.

Gold & Precious Metals Review

Spot gold chart for the week

Everybody is talking about gold. Thanks to an increasingly weaker $USD, the PM beat goes on. Clearly, there is support for Gold, not just from the public (in growing numbers), but from most of the HB&B analysts, UBS, CS, BMO, RBC, etc.


Spot gold chart for the week

Spot Gold this morning is presently (7:00am ET) at 784.10, softer than yesterday.

I still believe the price could drop to (just a guess) $700 in the next month or two, and that after a basing period, where smart money will be accumulating positions, there will be a subsequent run to over $1,000 per oz in 2008-9.

What I am saying is that today is a good market to trade for day traders only, in my opinion. The consensus differs. What the public is hearing is nothing but talk of 900 and 1000 gold NOW! The point I have been making is that the USD and Gold have made spectacular runs, and I think the monetary authorities will have to step into the fray and put a stop to the speculation before it overwhelms capital markets.

So, be careful at this point. If the FOMC decision is to cut, there may be a final bump to the gold price in this cycle, but I think that will be the peak, especially if the cut is 50bp.

Spot silver is 14.27 at 7:27am ET today. It is down from 14.55 high yesterday afternoon.

I think we’ll see (say) a 13 price for silver at the next intermediate-term cycle bottom, and then, sometime in 2008-9, a high of 18-20, possibly higher.

$PLAT hit 1469.50 mid-day and closed at 1469.10, up +15.40/oz. Speculative fever is high.

With platinum, traders have to be wary of the Chinese equity markets. Higher prices and trader enthusiasm there typically means higher bids for platinum.

The Chinese people value platinum above gold. Expensive cars, expensive jewelery, expensive liquor, expensive clothing... nothing but the best. But when push comes to shove, when market prices fall and rumors start, they are quick to sell stock and join lines to remove their money from banks.

Generally speaking, the Chinese, are excellent traders, and devout risk-takers. When the cycle peaks, they will be quick to sell.

Spot platinum chart for the past three days

Spot Platinum is presently 1440 (7:30am ET). It peaked yesterday morning at about 1467.

$PALL closed yesterday at 380.30, up +6.25 on the day, but still shy of the 389.95 set on the 15th.

The Weekly chart shows an indication that Palladium is struggling to surpass the previous intermediate-term cycle peaks of 390.45 (Apr 2007) and 410.89 (May 2006). I think the price is extended to the upside here, and that a test of the 320 level is likely over the next three months.

$COPPER gained +5.15 to close at 353.75 on the contracts. In early October, the price hit a cycle high of 378.00.

The Weekly chart shows up like for Palladium. There are a series of intermediate-term cycle highs at 394.90 (May 2006), 380.70 (Apr-May 2007), 374.80 (July 2007) and 378 this month. I think the North American, Western Europe and Japanese economies are too weak, and the production of copper too high to support a break-out to higher prices. The 2007 low of 238.50 could be tested in the next six months.

Yesterday, the Philly Gold & Silver Miners Index popped +3.05 to a new high of 185.46.

Prices are now extended on the upside. The risk of a pull-back is very high. Should the FOMC decide to cut rates 25 or especially 50 basis points, the gold and silver miners will likely rock and roll some more, but I would be looking at the growing risk in these stocks. I would be watching the market closely here.

Forex Review

Here is the chart of the week’s trading in the $USD.

The $USD has fallen to a close yesterday of 76.82, down -0.18 on the day. A couple days ago I wrote, “From mid-day Monday (78.2), the USD has fallen to 77.1. That is a catastrophe for the US Administration and its Treasury Secretary. If that man did not have so many markers to call from his friends at HB&B, he’d be turfed from his job. This is not the fault of the Chinese, Iraqi’s or Afghans.”

Now there is talk of a war against Iran! How low can the USD go before the American public start talking impeachment?

Yesterday, the Euro Index closed up +0.43 to 144.25.

European exporters are suffering a lot. This will hit employment and start to cause unrest as people will find that they cannot afford their mortgages, and so forth.

At some point, the authorities must intervene, but they are in a tough spot. If they drop rates, they are inviting inflation.

The Cdn Loonie is driving manufacturers and tourist operators loony. The pain is palpable. There are pleas for the Bank of Canada to cut rates and let some steam off the Cdn Dollar before it hits $1.10 American. This is a quite serious matter in Canada as I am sure it is in Europe.
