Reaction to Fed balance sheet reduction is keyRichard Perry
This week could be pivotal for US monetary policy.

The US Presidential election is growing ever nearer and the markets are becoming more considered.

Payrolls legacy set to drive a stronger dollar this weekHantec Markets
Such huge volatility surrounding the dollar and the euro in recent days has meant it has been difficult to trade with any real conviction. With huge fundamental (Non-farm Payrolls), news driven (Greece negotiations) and market driven (bund yield volatility) moves, forex trading has lacked decisive direction. Could this change though this week? With Greece now bundling up its repayments to the IMF to the end of the month, traders can focus elsewhere, perhaps at least for a few days anyway.

The dollar rose against the yen after Trump's meeting with the Japanese prime minister went better than feared. Trump avoided criticizing Japan's currency policy and the two leaders agreed to an economic dialogue.

The dollar index was steady near eleven-day highs on expectations of upcoming US tax reforms from Trump.
Markets continue to be pulled around by two factors, the US dollar strength and the question of when the Federal Reserve will tighten interest rates.

We’ve had a contraction in our economy since oil prices have tanked and Ontario, once a manufacturing powerhouse, has become the province of debt and increasing hydro rates.
When there is a contraction in the economy, the Fed Banks look to interest rates thinking that will spur the economy. Today, we had a BOC rate announcement and as many of us expected, the rate was cut for the second time in 2015. Cutting rates may have the effect the central bank thinks it will but there are also two cautions as well.

- Economic indicators are mixed, but many signals point to a potential deeper market correction. Certain industry sectors like financials and commodities show weakness.

- The author advocates caution for most investors and traders due to underlying uncertainties, but sees potential

- Gold prices are discussed as well, noting the chart looks "truly awful" and further declines are possible based on technical indicators.

- Earnings season has had some positive and negative surprises, and mergers are beginning to appear as companies take advantage of cheap borrowing costs.
- Most indexes gained on Friday but volume was low on some new highs, a sign the market may need rest before further gains, though indicators still point higher overall. Gold and oil retreated as the dollar rallied.

Cryptocurrencies can be used for various purposes, including online purchases, investment opportunities, and as a means of transferring value globally without the need for intermediaries like banks.
An accounting information system (AIS) refers to tools and systems designed for the collection and display of accounting information so accountants and executives can make informed decisions.
“Amidst Tempered Optimism” Main economic trends in May 2024 based on the results of the New Monthly Enterprises Survey, #NRES
On 12 June 2024 the Institute for Economic Research and Policy Consulting (IER) held an online event “Economic Trends from a Business Perspective (May 2024)”.
During the event, the results of the 25-th monthly survey of business executives “Ukrainian Business during the war”, which was conducted in May 2024, were presented.
The field stage of the 25-th wave lasted from May 20 to May 31, 2024. In May, 532 companies were surveyed.
The enterprise managers compared the work results in May 2024 with April, assessed the indicators at the time of the survey (May 2024), and gave forecasts for the next two, three, or six months, depending on the question. In certain issues (where indicated), the work results were compared with the pre-war period (before February 24, 2022).

Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.
Budgeting as a Control Tool in Government Accounting in Nigeria
Being a Paper Presented at the Nigerian Maritime Administration and Safety Agency (NIMASA) Budget Office Staff at Sojourner Hotel, GRA, Ikeja Lagos on Saturday 8th June, 2024.
1. Market Update as of Week
Ending 21 August 2015
AKA -- What The &*^% Happened This Week?
2. US equity markets gave up multiple
percentage points this week...
It looks “bad” (to bulls anyway) but don’t go getting all
emotional just yet. This week’s action doesn’t mean the
monster, multiyear uptrend in equity markets is done. What
follows is a look at select equity and related charts from the
10,000 foot level… also known as the weekly and quarterly
timeframes. As you’ll see, the recent price action in stock
indices is, for the most part, a blip… for now.
With these kinds of trends, I would much rather look to buy
support (on a new breakout to the upside), than try to catch
a big move down… for now.
4. SPY
The SPY broke multiple weekly support
levels…including that denoted by the horizontal
line. Price finally came to rest at a support
level extending back to the end of
2014/beginning of 2015. As you’ll see on the
quarterly chart that follows, this move barely
registers on the longer term picture. Major
support is all the way back around $158. I
would need price back above the weekly TVZ
before becoming positive again.
7. DIA
The DJIA dropped 1,000 points and looks to have gotten it
worse than SPY due, in part, to being comprised of only 30
stocks. The index broke several levels of weekly support
including the lows of the congestion at the end of
2014/beginning of 2015 along with TAOST Value Zone
(TVZ). The next level of support is around $158 which
aligns with that shown on the quarterly chart below. There
is additional support at $147 and major support lives at
$142 although if price gets to these lower levels the
strength of the trend will be in serious doubt if not
obliterated altogether.
10. QQQ
The tech sector as represented by the Qs
suffered along with the the overall market.
Price held above at weekly support ($100) and
stopped right at the bottom of the weekly TVZ.
While it’s hard to identify support on the
quarterly chart given the parabolic nature of the
move, $90 and $83 look like consecutive areas
of support. Interestingly, price is finally within
shouting distance of the all time high from
March 2000 ($120.50).
13. MDY
MDY is the S&P Midcap ETF. It’s also my
favorite index as midcaps are in the sweet spot
in terms of real companies with tremendous
growth potential. The ETF closed just below
the weekly TVZ, but still above support at $252.
There is additional support at $230 and way
down at $185.00 and $169.
16. FXI
I thought it might be good to have a look at an
ETF that represents what’s been called the
origin of all this market mishegas… China.
During a large portion of the runup over the last
6 years China or, more specifically, what was
thought to be the endless growth potential of
China was the fuel for combustion. We’re now
seeing the other side. Support around $28 and
$19. Below that? Trouble.
19. JNK
In a strong market you’ll generally see high and
rising interest in High Yield corporate securities
(aka “junk bonds”) as investors feel more
comfortable about the capacity of overall
growth to help companies service the debt
load. A nervous market gives you just the
opposite. Here, the weekly looks nasty, but on
the next slide, the quarterly shows that price is
only approaching the bottom of a channel
extending back to 2010.
22. GLD
I’ve been negative (and right) on the price of
GLD since early 2013 during that time there
have been several strong bounces, but none
that reversed the trend. There’s no reason to
expect any different here… except maybe that
we have now retraced a bit more than half of
the move up that began in 2005. Could go
either way here… watch $117.50 in the coming
weeks… if price can clear that and hold, there’s
a shot that a reversal will take root.
25. USO
There is a good long trade coming in oil at
some point. It’s a cyclical commodity and we
are working through a global glut at the
moment. Trader/analyst (and long time oil
bear) Dennis Gartman feels like the bottom is in
and took a shot on the long side on Friday. I’ve
been saying since January of this year that
weekly long setups should be taken (and I
made 2 calls to that effect here and here). I
see no reason to change that opinion.
28. VIX
I have never thought the Volatility Index a great
indicator for traders (the mere presence of
volatility is not negative), but traders continue to
watch it and use it, so when in Paris… The Vix
spiked last week (almost 50% on Friday alone)
but it did so off of ongoing historic lows. Some
are suggesting this spike is going to turn the
overall market lower. That may be (it looks
similar to 2007), but it could also be a great
buying opportunity.
31. EUR/USD
The Euro caught a bid recently due in part to
the craziness in other, more tertiary currencies.
Pattern wise, it looks like what I call a Dead
Man’s Drift. Price makes a hard push down
then begins to drift higher forming what looks
like a wedge. The pattern is confirmed when
price breaks back down through the rising
trendline along its bottom. The quarterly shows
that price could drift as high as 1.20 and still
maintain its integrity.
34. TNX-X
Used by traders to gauge the level of interest
rates, the TNX-X loosely reflects the current
rate for the 10 year, but the direction is more
important and telling. With a likely September
rate hike by the Fed, one would think that rates
would be trending strongly higher. Last week
suggests otherwise. Likewise the quarterly tells
us that the rate needs to get and remain above
3% ($30) before the back of this long
downtrend is broken.
37. % Stocks Above 200 Moving Avg
Finally, a look at another trader favorite. The
200 Day Moving Average is watched on
virtually every stock by traders, thus making it
important. At only 25.5% (and looking set to go
lower), things don’t look good for bulls.
41. BBH
The Biotech Sector has been in a love affair
with the investing public for several years now.
While the ETF’s price has pulled back along
with the broader market, it hasn’t suffered
nearly as much… in fact, this looks a lot like a
buying opportunity. Support at $122.87,
$119.76 and $113.87.
44. GOOGL
Price is powerfully structured to the upside on
GOOGL on both the Weekly and Quarterly
timeframes. In fact, the quarterly shows the
stock having just broken out of a Bull Flag. To
the downside, there’s good support at the
$614.50, $609 and $585 levels.
47. AAPL
AAPL is the favorite whipping target of the
market du jour… just as it was a darling on the
way up… $104.63, $100.75 and $97.79 are
good support levels.
49. Conclusion
The talking heads will be lamenting and
wringing their hands this weekend… “the end is
nigh” they’ll say. Maybe… but this could also
be setting up a great buying opportunity.
Either way, don’t try to predict… stick to your
strategy and trade your setups. The result will
take care of itself.
KIS,
The Trader
