 The Stock Index Report - Panic selling in equities followed by panicked buying
C. Garner I DeCarley Trading - 05 February 2010
After melting through 10,000 with ease, the Dow clawed back on the close to settle slightly above. The March Dow futures contract failed to reach the milestone but it is clear that there will be no free lunches for the bears.
There are no shortages of hedge fund blowups and many believe that it was the liquidation of leveraged commodity and stock positions that enabled such a dramatic fall from grace. ... read more  CHINA’S CORN PLAN
Tim Hannagan I PFGBEST - 05 February 2010
Thursday’s weekly export sales report attracted little attention as trade continues to trade off outside markets and seasonal down-trend influences.
Wheat exports were 418 T.M.T. off 37% from the week prior, 5% under our four-week average, but over last year’s 326 and 2008 sales of 312 T.M.T. So, we continue to see improved exports but they come on the back of a one dollar break in prices and we’re selling a lot of feed quality wheat to Asia. ... read more The Bond Bulletin - Flight to quality bid in Treasuries
C. Garner I DeCarley Trading - 05 February 2010
Although the non-farm payrolls data was reported to be in line with expectations, it was an action packed end to the trading week. The day's economic news leaned lower in Treasuries but a volatile stock session and sovereign debt risk issues prompted some flight to quality buying.
According to the government, the U.S. economy lost 20,000 private sector jobs last month and the unemployment rate fell to 9.7%. Like this pro football player says...what is everyone crying about? ... read more |

 Who Dat Commodity?
Commoditytrader.com - Mon, 08 Feb 2010 19:28:18 -0500
Crude oil was higher for the first time in 4 sessions but we only gained 70 cents after the $7 route that is not much. It appears that buyers are emerging but we would suggest waiting for the inventory # this week before establishing fresh positions. For now $70 should support and $73 should act as resistance in the March contract. Natural gas reversed to close down almost 2% on the day. Clients are flat though we think lower pricing is likely we wish to have no exposure. Clients are starting to buy June RBOB call spreads anticipating prices to get back above $2.20 in the coming months; we like this trade and clients currently own $2.16/2.28 spreads. We will be looking to sell rallies in the... read more
