Opening Report from JohnPipersTrading.com on 26 July 2012

10h00 The BIG CALL Opening Report - 26 July 2012

Good Morning, this is John Piper with the opening report, I am unable to do a report tomorrow, Next report Tuesday morning + weekend video clips

Trading in futures, options, spread and binary betting carries a high degree of risk which can lead to losses greater than the amount originally invested. As such it is not suitable for everyone and you should not risk more than you can afford to lose. Important: see 'My Trading Rules' at the foot of this article.

1. Introduction

We have seen impulsive declines and now we are going through a quieter period which is as we would expect from a corrective phase. I continue to look for more downside once this phase is over. Markets are also awaiting the US GDP figures tomorrow and the market reaction to these will be of interest. For example weak figures (which are likely in this environment) can be viewed negatively as it is "bad" news or positively as it may lead to more stimulation, albeit this has done pretty much zero for the economy so far but that was never the main aim.

2. UK FTSE 100

FTSE is now at 5495 down 2 points. A pretty clear count - see chart below - and it looks lie we have seen waves a-b of the correction with a c wave rally due. We remain 50% short via the ETF SUK2. We are also 50% long the VIX via the ETF VIXS.


3. The German DAX

The DAX is now at 6371 down 34 points. The DAX has seen a similar pattern but made new lows today (but NOT if we look at the 24 hour action) so again a c wave rally is possible. We are now 50% short of the DAX via the ETF ETFS Fund Company Plc DAX 2X Short Fund Shares EUR (GBP).

4. The US DOW

The Dow closed yesterday at 12676 up 59 points with the spreadbetters now quoting it at 12671 (-5). The pattern here is not so clear as discussed in the video clip yesterday. We are now 50% short of the NASDAQ via the ETF Proshares Trust Ultrashort QQQ

5. The Japanese NIKKEI DOW 

The Nikkei Dow closed at 8443 up 77 points this morning. The Nikkei is bouncing in what could be a wave iv.

6. US T-BOND

Bonds are edging higher. We remain officially 50% short of shorter dated bonds via the ETF DB X-Trackers II IBOXX Short USD Treasuries Tr Index 1C (XUTS).

7. Gold ( UK cash)

Gold moved up sharply yesterday and is close t the upper parameter now around $1610/15. We are 100% long via the ETF (PHAU) and entered when Gold was around $1560. A sustained break down may confirm a deflationary environment and, in view of all the Government action to prevent this, such an environment may prove devastating.

8. FOREX

GBP/EUR is falling back but no change to the uptrend. The GBP/USD is back on the lower parameter.

 



 

Trading Rules - I may have a number of binary betting positions on FTSE and the Dow - these can change from long to short at irregular intervals. I also have long term long positions on Gold (ETFs) and various short ETFs on T-Bonds, FTSE and S&P.

I trade a number of markets through spread betting, options and/or futures positions. t1ps.com Ltd does not believe that my articles can move the markets concerned.


If I have an open position or positions on any markets which are the subject of one of these reports at the time of publication of an article written by me, the existence of that interest and whether it is long or short will always be declared in the article in the format 'I have a long/short position in the S&P/the FTSE 100/Gold' as appropriate. This is in order to inform readers so that they may assess whether the existence of any such interest may have influenced the content of the article. Such disclosure does not constitute investment advice. The time of publication means the time at which an email containing the article is sent.

After publication of an article containing a disclosure of an open interest as above I may alter, or close the position or positions the subject of the disclosure without restriction. There are no restrictions on the opening of positions provided that any open interest is declared as above.

The value of investments can go down as well as up. Investing in equities and ETFs can lose you part or all of your capital. Smaller company shares can be relatively illiquid and thus hard to trade. And that makes such investments more of a high risk than larger company shares. Financial Spreadbetting, futures, options, and CFD's are by definition a higher risk investment, losses from which are potentially unlimited. Before investing, or if in doubt about the suitability of an investment please seek independent financial advice.
