nervous session focused entirely on Washington.
The Federal government shutdown continues. Key economic
indicators are not being reported due to lack of budget funding. This week,
there will be no releases for the CPI, Treasury international capital, housing
starts, industrial production, EIA natural gas, EIA petroleum, and leading
indicators. Still on tap are the NAHB housing market index, the Beige Book,
jobless claims, and Philly Fed manufacturing (Empire reported on Tuesday).

Bullish = Open > 3534
Bearish = Open < 3534
The Euro traded in a very narrow range on Tuesday but ended
the day with a large move to the upside with a closing-print up near the
highs. This is bullish price-action going
into yesterday’s close, so we will be looking to see if this market sentiment remains
the same, or has changed this morning when the opening-bell rings at 8:20am EST.

Bullish = Open > 1277.6
Bearish = Open < 1255.0
Gold traded in a wide range on Wednesday, spending most of
the session near the highs of the day, ending the day just off the highs. We know that Gold is being affected by this
debt-ceiling debate in Washington, so we have been keeping a close eye on the price-action
this week. Look for the targets above us
to be hit with a bullish open this morning.

PHOD 102.21 / PLOD 101.11
Bullish = Open > 102.21
Bearish = Open < 101.11
Crude Oil traded sideways on Tuesday, inside the range from Monday
and last Friday in a very subdued market personality. Tuesday’s session closed right on the lows of
the day around the 101.00 big-round-number and we are looking for a bearish opening-print
this morning after the opening-bell at 900am EST for us to keep selling short
on Crude Oil. Look for the prior week’s
lows to be an easy target for the sellers today, and with that also comes the
100.00 big-round-number which is just a small move lower.

Mini-Russell Futures:
VAH 1084.3 / VAL 1078.1
PHOD 1087.4 / PLOD 1074.1
Bullish = Open > 1087.4
Bearish = Open < 1074.1
The Mini-Russell traded lower on Tuesday, completely inside
the range from Monday and last Friday, which suggests that the market sentiment
is bearish, however those sellers are barely in control and the trend is very
weak. We are looking for a bearish opening-print
this morning to get short the Mini-Russell using the 1069.8 and last week’s
opening price as our immediate targets to the downside.
