Are any of these
Red-Star news events today?
Yes, the news this morning at 8:30am EST is considered Red-Star
news which means we will expect to see more people participating with more
volume, volatility and trading opportunities this morning.  Red-Star news tells us to expect
larger-than-average moves in the price-action so we will always look to hold a
runner profit-target on days like today.
Later in the session we are going to have everyone paying
attention to the 10:00am EST confirmation hearing for the new fed Chairperson
Yellen.  Although the commentary was
leaked ahead of the hearing today, we know most traders will be distracted by
this, so we expect to see a sluggish market personality around that time this
morning.

Which markets will
be affected by this news the most today?
All of our favorite Futures markets are going to be affected
by today’s news.  
Currencies and Gold
will be affected by International Trade and Janet Yellen as that will stir the
discussion for Fed-Tapering.  We have
already seen a tremendously-positive reaction from Equity markets overnight
after reading Yellen’s dovish comments, so we can expect the e-mini’s to be
very active today as well. 
Crude Oil Inventories are scheduled to be released today at
11am EST, so we know that Crude Oil will be moving ahead of this news.  Remember on inventory days to pay close
attention to the market personality in Crude Oil because sometimes it can be a
danger-zone.
