Emini Futures Trading / Outside Day

by DeWayne Reeves

E-Mini S&P 500: Another outside day, the range widens!

The E-Mini S&P 500 had another outside day again mostly triggered by a lower US Consumer Confidence.  This was the lowest in the last three months. The E-Mini S&P 500 rose starting at 8:45 after the low of the day $1300.25.  Volume was light as traders hesitated to succumb to the risk in trading.  The fighting continued in Libya as Libyan Loyalists and Rebels battle over the oil producing areas. Yemen and Syria also have reported violence.  It is mostly the contagion fears that persist.  Japan is still dealing with the fallout from the earthquake and the tsunami as the radiation is of concern to not only Japan, but global neighbors as well.  The Crude Oil is still trading up to $105.00.  On the stock front, technology stocks such as S&P Information Technology Index and the S&P Retail Index, had suffered losses with the onset of the earthquake in Japan. Today, those stocks rose as bargain hunters had bought the fallen stocks.  Winners today were Home Depot, Amazon and Cisco Systems.  Stocks that fell today were Apollo Group and Lennar Group.  The Euro Zone had their share of uncertainty as the election pointed to a change in leadership in Germany.  Chancellor Merkel ‘s will no longer maintain the stringent stabilization policies to contain the debt issues in the Euro Zone.  Merkel’s decision to continue the 17 nuclear reactors had possibly cost her the election.  Supporting the Euro FX, the possibility of a rate hike as early as their next meeting of April 7^th.  The Greece, Ireland, Spain and Portugal’s debt problems still are popping up with mixed reviews.  Regardless, the fear of sovereign debt still haunts us.  The global marketplace seems quite shaky going into the 2^nd quarter and traders are treading lightly.

Today’s US Consumer Confidence had fallen to 63.4 in March.

Wednesday, we look forward to The ADP National Employment Report!

Wednesday, what to expect!  We are technically still in buy mode but today was another outside day!  Typically, an outside day could potentially mean the market may end the trend.  We look for a potentially lower day tomorrow with a slight extension higher as well!  Today’s range was $1317.75 - $1300.25.  The market settled at $1316.50.     Our comfort zone or point of control for this market appears to be $1309.50.  Our anticipated potential range for tomorrow’s trading may be $1320.00 -  $1290.00.  We shall perhaps look  for bounces to sell!

Please note that timing is everything and while we may divulge a brief overview of what may affect tomorrow’s market, trade set-ups are strategically planned according to time and price action.  In this marketplace, a trader needs to arm themselves with the weaponry to deploy into a complicated marketplace.  The CFRN Live trading room is your boot camp for your commodity future.
