Swing Trade Idea – May 23, 2022
Market Setup pre-800ET
•Global Markets: USA, Europe, Japan, China, Hong Kong Asia – Mixed global set-up
•Commodities: Gold, Silver, Oil and natgas, Grains, industrial metals (aluminum, copper, nickel palladium, zinc)
•Yields: Yields slightly higher and steeper
•Macro: Lower US$ is the main driver of equity commodity strength – caution that Euro short term extended
•News: China: Beijing extending work at home; Europe: Lagarde: ECB likely to raise interest rates by Sept if inflation stabilizing at 2% – LOL! But Euro higher which sparks commodities and equities; German ifo Biz Climate 93 vs 91.5;
•Stocks: VMW AVGO offer; Bitcoin higher -> Squeeze MSTR SI COIN SQ RIOT; Citi downgraded ANF GPS HPQ PLCE RL UAA GLW; MonkeyPox Names: SIGA EBS CMRX TNXP INO
•Indices: Global indices presenting a mixed outlook with USA indices higher but range bound since futures opened Sunday night. SPY below key 395 gamma level – above look for high gamma 400 and below look for support at 390. QQQ above 290 gamma level – above look for 295 and below look for support at 280. VIX futures partially uninverted and < 30 which can support markets today. SPY 1.8% move based on volatility. Breadth is good premarket with laggards and shorted names leading. Normal for a rise into Mon post opex and potential for large moves. Many are expecting an oversold bounce but set-up is not the same as the March bounce. Look for SPY > 295 for large cap confirmation.
