U.S. STOCK INDEXES

STOCK MARKET COMMENT: The U.S. stock indexes closed firmer today. U.S. economic data for released Thursday was a mixed bag. The weekly jobless claims report came in better than expected, while the third-quarter gross domestic product report came in a bit weaker than expected. The weekly jobless claims data was deemed fresher news than the GDP data and that helped to lift the stock indexes. In more “Fed speak” this week, Richmond Federal Reserve Bank president Jeffrey Lacker said Thursday he supported a faster tapering of the Fed’s monthly bond-buying program and said he is surprised the process has not already begun. Fed governor Jeremy Stein also said Thursday the FOMC’s decision not to taper last week was “a close call.” Notions are growing the Fed could indeed begin to “taper” yet this year. Meantime, the European Central Bank’s executive board member said Thursday the ECB needs to continue its expansive monetary policies. The U.S. budget and debt ceiling issues have moved to the front burner of the market place. The U.S. government will have to at least partially shut down early next week if Congress does not pass a budget by that time. Also, in mid-October the U.S. will hit its borrowing limit. This matter could be significantly bearish for most markets in the near term, as there is talk some of the U.S. government will shut down for a short time next week.

Stochastics and the RSI are oversold but remain neutral to bearish signaling that sideways to lower prices are possible near-term. If December extends the decline off August’s high, August’s low crossing at 4.45 3/4 is the next downside target.

soybeans closed down 7 1/2-cents at 13.07 3/4.

November soybeans closed lower on Monday and below the 38% retracement level of the August-September rally crossing at 13.15 as it extended this month’s losses. Harvest is underway, which is easing tight supplies. Early yield reports have been decent but no yield trend has yet been confirmed. However, chances that this year’s soybean crop might be a little bigger than expected will likely keep downward pressure on the market near-term. Today’s low-range close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening when Tuesday’s night session begins trading.

The Dow closed lower on Monday and below the 10-day moving average crossing at 15,438 signaling that a short-term top might be in or is near. Investors have shifted their focus on the Fed’s policies as a risk is rising from a possible government shutdown in the near future. President Obama and Republican congressional leaders are hardening positions on the federal budget and borrowing limit and recent political setbacks suffered by both are raising the odds of a government shutdown. A debt default or near miss could trigger a significant setback in the equity markets, which was alluded to by forty percent of global investors surveyed in a Sept. 10 Bloomberg poll. They indicated that they would pull back on U.S. markets in the event of a government shutdown, which many economists say would be less damaging than a debt default. Today’s mid-range close sets the stage for a steady to lower opening on Tuesday.

Closes below the 20-day moving average crossing at 15,163 are needed to confirm that a short-term top has been posted.

4 Can’t Miss Options Trades – Yours Free Immediately I’ve just uncovered 4 “nearly perfect” options trades with incredible wealth-building potential.
