Stocks...
AUQ...Aurico Gold is attempting an ORH month with a close over 4.35. As long as this holds breaks around $3.90-4 this has potential to make a run toward 6 on the longer time frames.
ABX...18.13 is the 200 DMA and the short term pivot. The daily is looking stretched. A weekly close over 18.50 resistance is needed for more upside.
?
Bonds...
TBT...needs a close over 63.50 for higher.
FX...
EUR/AUD...is unchanged on the week after putting in a lower low.
Buy stops are 145.38. A close over this level is needed for upside follow through.
Commodities...
Oil... resting sell stops are @ 105.11 the weekly ORL #.
This level is support, with sustained price action below 105 needed for any downside to materialize. 103.60 would be the first bounce zone below.
The point & figure shows a rally as high as 106.85 is possible with no pattern change.
Gold...1315.70 is the monthly ORH #. This is the hold # for Gold Bulls going into month end. 1330 is near resistance and the next closing hurdle.
Copper...3.20 is 200 DMA resistance. Pattern support is 3.10.
Silver...20.20 is the place to try a long with a very tight stop.
