Friday Market Report 12/30/16

Well,today their are lots of market changes including this week to put some sunshine on it. I am not going to get very technical analysis on all the dynamic global shifts. I am going to just make this report more simplified since I still have other issues today to deal with finding solutions. This week seen many brief bright spots in how the markets have reacted based on stock,bonds trading performance. So,I'll start with the beginning of the week and finish with today's data on global markets. We started the week with a dollar levels above the neckline against both European currency and slightly lower preforms on Canada and Asian markets. This means that with this trend it's going to usually continue the rest of the week which is what happened on end of closing bell on Wall Street today Friday. We next started the beginning of the week with serious scepticism about crude oil prices which have been steadily slipping. So,this has a chilling global effects on both global prices and combined with increased amount of supply. This is a market driving factor in financial markets view of stay or bailout in global investments. The second factor is global GDP which has posted a meager gain of 3.6 points available average on charts. The third thing is global trade which has seen some serious volatility this week,it's origin is actually on a chart a lot on longer term projected positive gain usually 6 months. The fourth factor is both energy and technology sectors which have seen this week under performance. Stocks have lost all the gains in the beginning of the week to close out on Friday bell mostly available average of 24 points on American markets, Looking at overseas markets the difference is more profound with Canada down average 40 points.European markets posted improved gains with average 15 points. Asian markets declined available average 80 points over this week period. Real Estate posted small gains in new home construction meanwhile the opposite effect happened in decline in new homes sales. So here we are Friday with the markets on Wall Street showing weak performance barely able to get above the belt. My prediction is this is going to continue into next week from beginning to about Thursday afternoon when we will see some exciting news about corporate profits. The other news is that OPEC will make a change in global supplies and prices will change to something better. I think the last thing we will see is a new Federal Bank report on economic health which will provide some interesting development in the markets.
This is how I see things for the close of this week for my market research and analysis. Have a great weekend everyone.

Market Monday 11/09/2015

I hope this finds everyone doing great today. I haven't been able to write here because of being busy so I am critical focus here. Ok everyone lets get into how things are going with the broad spectrum indexes both in America and international. Well,this day started pretty normal as folks woke up to Monday morning business combination with checking their portfolios. Then the market opens with a bit of jitters about new Federal bank rate hike concerns. Then fueled by cheaper light sweet crude oil prices shifted markets in America Dow,NASDAQ etc to a downward spiral. If that isn't enough to make you want to puke,pulling the selling trigger,then maybe your very unusual. You see most got a moment of being dumb struck panic,following the heroes of herds, running away from a market crash. So once panic set in everyone just went with playing follow the idiots leading the bears going downhill. When it's all financial ruins for your portfolios you don't want to stick your hero head in the sand pretending everything going to be alright cause it's not. My wife Pamela famous for hammering into people the truth and I am no exception. A truly big blessing having a wonderful women in my life. Ok ok I know our personal life isn't why you subscribe here to this blog. So let's continue with market analysis so everyone can see what is happening. Hard core factors in play today that are very important to where were heading this week. Well oil is one two China economy is in a slump except for export market dumping of cheap products which drives prices up in foreign countries. Three weaknesses in global markets underpinning are directly effected by American and European markets So everything with  this contributed today to a 176.48 downward turn on the Dow,this combines with European uncertainties about Great Britain position being continued put everyone into panic. Some simple Monday monsoon analysis always helps cheer people up..Ya right! !Where we seriously going this week your asking? ? I think it's not going to be roses but instead more likely mixed with just peachy. We going to get critical by saying that the markets are going to have some important bright spots with energy,new home sales,banking but investors are going to cringe at what they see happen as the week continues. So be prepared continue market volatile sell off until it's peak about Thursday middle of day. So put on your rain coat be prepared to get very wet. From middle day Thursday to Friday bell close is going prove interesting for rain hardy investors. I think even with weak underpinning the markets are going to gain above the neckline about 25 points green. While it's not the sweet spot investors hoping for to happen it's certainly going to help. Just remember the old addage buy lots low sell at the top will make you a merry mere increasing fortune.

Have a Great Day,
John

Stock Market Upswing ..

Good morning to all you early birds it is the fearless critic here.  Has anyone seen the run the stock market made this week? Well it sure is impressive to run up 200 to 300 points gain and maintain that momentum all week. Normally you might get this kind of run following a sharp decline which would be a flash run up or down course corresponding to the way the market correction. This is different this week with a boat load of good economic data. You combine this with the news from the Federal Reserve bank that they are going to cut the discount rate a half a percentage point. The third part that has added more good to the economy is the news from the chairman that they are going to print and pump more money into the economic system. This has fueled Wall Street investors to buy heavy into the market this week. Normally investment gurus like myself are sceptical about the market based on long term experience. This time I have to say I am pleased with the upswing which gives plenty of opportunity to make money if you are investing in blue chips and staying away from bonds. Buying into solutions in stocks that are considered solid proformers like Boeing and Verizon is a wise choice. So, I recommend that everyone jump into the market and go make yourself some quick easy profits this week while the upswing rally continues..
Have a great profitable day.
