cont ... when FTSE MIB moved, Russell 2000 (and to some extend ES) also moved in tandem due to whatever reason. hmmm. some relationship between Italy and the US. 5 Feb US session seems like it is going to be a dead session. Time to sleep. Good night!
16 Feb preparation What happened : The market was very quiet due to Asian & US holidays. France CAC40 has been trending very well due to whatever reasons. What to focus : As usual, Asian, European & US index futures. Asian index futures - Taiwan index, India Nifty, Hangseng have been great & trendy. Thailand SET50, China A50, Simsci were also great. CME copper & crude oil which will probably move in tandem with index futures. crude oil, HO, RBOB will probably move in tandem too. But China Shanghai INE Sour Crude medium & copper cathode might not move in tandem. INE products are yuan based. gold - it tends to be rather untrendy Natural gas- It might move during European and US sessions. day range has been very healthy major currencies - I will probably minimize the charts US and various European bonds - I will minimize the charts. But one day, it will be in-fashion.
16 Feb mid Eur session review summary of movers : hang seng, Nikkei, India Nifty summary of laggards: silver, gold and perhaps copper summary of sleepers : European index futures (dax, CAC40, ftmib, omxs30 etc ) US index futures currencies all the bonds Natural gas and perhaps crude oil better stop trading Eur session, and take a nap.
