 The API Catch Up
Phil Flynn I PFGBEST - 10 March 2010
It looks like the API is playing catch up to the Department of Energy. A massive crude build according to the American Petroleum Institute, along with big product draws is going to keep the oil market on edge.
The API released another shocker when they said that US oil inventories increased by an incredible 6.5 million barrels. Yet at the same time the API reported big time product draws. For gasoline the API reported supplies fell by 3.18 million barrels and gasoline by almost 3.18 million barrels. ... read more  Bonds Lower, Yen Lower, S&P’s Steady
Marc Nemenoff I PRICE Group - 10 March 2010
Financials: June Bonds are currently 10 lower at 116’06. The market is currently in near term support. If the market breaks through the 116’06 area the next level of support will be the 115’18 level. If you remain short the Bonds or continue to hold the combination of short Bonds and short the June Bond 115’00 put either take profits or lower your protective buy stop to the 116’28 level. For those of you who have on the combination of short Bonds and short the 115’00 put, if you are stopped out of the Bonds, cover the short put. ... read more  Production Next
Tim Hannagan I PFGBEST - 09 March 2010
Our weekly export inspection report came out Monday, almost ignored as the market gets ready for the Wednesday 7:30 am Central Time U.S.D.A. crop report.
Let’s review them anyway, so we are on top of demand fundamentals. Lowly wheat inspections were 20.4 million bushels inspected for near-term export versus 19 the week prior; 14 a year ago; and four-week average of 17.2 m.b. Too much wheat in inventory at 981 m.b. to move off weak demand numbers like that. Demand remains a neutral force for pricing. ... read more |

 8 days in the green, can the rally keep it up?
Commoditytrader.com - Tue, 09 Mar 2010 20:07:55 -0500
According to our trusty sources on the CME floor, the last 11 times that the S&P has closed positive for 8 consecutive sessions the next trading day has seen a red close 81% of the time. This ignores magnitude but seems to be evidence that the market might be a little overheated up here.
Based on conversations that I have had with other analysts/traders, it is clear that the current rally has pummeled the bears into submission. It appears as though, many have run out of capital and conviction and have therefore, moved to the sidelines. Unfortunately, this can often be a precursor to a market reversal. Remember, markets tend to cause as much pain as suffering to speculators... read more
