Economic News on the
schedule today:
We don’t have a lot of news on the schedule for today’s US
trading session, however news from China and the EU overnight are going to be
providing lots of reactions in the price-action in today’s morning-session so
we will be ready.
Today’s Treasury budget news
at 2:00pm EST will offer the first data on the government’s new fiscal year,
one that follows a sharp drop in the deficit during fiscal year 2013.  This will be a very interesting report to
watch the reaction from the markets this afternoon.

Are any of these
Red-Star news events today?
None of the news today is considered to be Red-Star news,
which means we will need to wait for confirmation of an established trend
before we go looking for big runner targets. 
A day without much news is always expected to be a sideways type of
trading day, but we can never assume, so we will be looking for selling-opportunities
at the highs and buying opportunities at the lows this morning until something
breaks out and then we will have to analyze the market personality at that time
to see if this breakout will be a fake-out-breakout.

Which markets will
be affected by this news the most today?
The Fed continues to talk about Tapering in the month of
December, and the ECB just recently commented on the fact they think the ‘euro
is too strong’.  I think we need to
beware that Gold & bonds are going to be on the front-line for reaction to
the taper-talk, but the Euro may be an easy peg-short this week with the recent
comments from the ECB. 
Is it me…or is the ECB playing too much gold with Helicopter-Ben
on the weekends?
