The Week Ahead in the Global Financial Markets

From the Desk of Joe Garcia-Rios

The Week Ahead in the Global Financial Markets

Is volatility knocking at the door? The Fed statement on Wednesday sent US treasuries significantly lower, causing interest rate yields to spike, especially the shorter term duration. The S&P 500 ended the week slightly higher with the semiconductors, banks and financial sectors outperforming the broader market. In the commodity markets Gold -3.2% and Silver -5.3% led the way down followed by Natural Gas -2.5%. In the currency market the US Dollar rallied from a key support level finishing the week stronger. Technically speaking, the US 10 Year Note finished the week at a key critical support level as identified by the RQ Channel 2 & 7 indicators. Conversely the S&P 500 is close to testing prior highs as identified by the RQ Channel 2 & 7 indicators as a key level . In the week ahead my focus will be on the correlations and the technicals, specifically whether the market benchmarks break out/down from their current levels. My focus will then turn to the RQ- Tech’s Nextreme indicators in order to identify rotation flows from the institutions. If the US treasuries breakdown will foreign currencies sell-off? If US Treasuries rally will the stock indices tumble? Will you be ready?
