General Comments or Valuable Insight
Friday was all about running shorts out of the 30 Yr. Bonds which in turn had the same effect on the Gold,Canadian & Aussie Dollars.
Follow the Bonds again today, for resistance here is now matching up with resistance in the Aussie & Euro.
I'm expecting another opening range trade with in the Currencies & Bonds with lots of stock rotation.
The Equity Indices are Long U.S. Short Europe and emerging markets.
Keep AAPL,DIS, Gopro & Under Armour on your radar going into the Holidays.?
AUD/USD...Australian Dollar
