Sending Out an SOS on the SPR
It has been a tedious, choppy, back-and-forth session for the most part today. Apple is notably weak and in danger of giving up all of its recent bounce. And that seem especially bearish given how so many folks seemed hell-bent on precisely calling the bottom in the name to bet on considerable, imminent upside. Powell gave some hawkish remarks...

Don't Lead Me On
While I am certainly no stranger to the variance (volatility) associated with all forms of speculation and gambling, the sheer amount of gaps-up-and-then-fight-to-fade-all-day we have seen in this market rivals anything I have ever seen. Over the weekend I went back in time and studied the price action from the 1970s on as many timeframes as I...

Giving Me the Iran-Around Sue
Purely from a market perspective, we may need to gear up for another weekend of the Iran Runaround game, with threats of attacks on Israel supposedly imminent, which always seem to be postponed. As it stands now, the VIX and many stocks are taking the threat seriously, on top of the JPM earnings selloff with CEO Dimon sounding the alarm bells...

If the CPI Report Don't Fit, You Must Submit
After yesterday morning's red-hot CPI report, bulls are now latching onto a cool headline PPI print this morning with (oddly) "seasonally adjusted" lower gas prices, even though gasoline has clearly been rising. At any rate (no pun intended), the Nasdaq is leading today's bounce even as both rates and the VIX are higher as I write this. Energy...

Inflation Whiplash
Another hot CPI report this morning, with emphasis on gasoline and shelter prices, has doves running for cover as rates on the 10-Year push above 4.5%. An earlier dip-buy attempt in equities seemed initially convincing but has since sputtered. Overall, inflation looks to be staging another leg higher for a kind of whiplash effect off what many...

Here's the Thing About Rip Van Winkle
...even he woke up, eventually. You may notice that the monthly chart for the premier copper miner, Freeport McMoran, below, looks an awful lot like the monthly chart of the silver metal. Both charts are threatening to emerge from multi-year symmetrical triangles within the context of decade-plus sideways/dead money periods. And just as Rip...

Cutting it High and Tight
On the updated daily charts below, for CLF and CMC respectively, note how the stocks are flagging "high and tight" after prior run-ups above all moving averages. For these two commodity stocks, this is solid price action and puts us on watch for another move higher especially if the commodity complex at-large continues to enjoy rotation. To...

Changes In Latitudes, Changes In Attitudes
After being one of the undisputed monsters off the pre-Halloween low, AMD is now displaying serious signs of changes in latitudes and changes in price attitudes . More importantly, the relevant issues for us is whether the large semiconductor play is functioning as a leader to the downside now, too, after clearly being one of the leaders to...
