Closing Market Commentary For 11-06-20
The DOW made new highs this afternoon while the rest of the market place remained mixed and flat. The small caps turned in a lackluster day mostly in the red and that puts the large caps on notice that the bears are coming. Mostly the DOW’s highs are the result of the HFT algo computers and the financial mobsters that control this market casino and really do not mean anything really.
By 4 pm the BTFDers were out buying up ‘bargains’ giving the last few minutes a small lifting factor.
Brent oil took a big dump starting around noon today because an excess in surplus and on-going talks with Libya while gold and the US dollar remained stable.
The short term indicators are leaning moderately towards the buy side this closing bell, but because of the Fed’s reluctance to give any hints of when the taper will begin, I would take most indicators with a grain of salt especially over night trades. The longer outlook remains bearish at a 40-60 sell.
If we get Fed tapering in December the markets will certainly react in a negative fashion. If the tapering begins in March 2014, like many believe it will, the markets are going to price that in by declining sooner. I am expecting weak to negative markets for the foreseeable future. Maybe we have seen the top – but I wouldn’t count it as long as the Fed continues to hand out ‘Market Viagra’!
