Down is the watchword into a busy Econ Data Thursday: save for the Bond and Oil which are just marginally down, the balance of the other six BEGOS Markets are all trading below today’s Neutral Zones; volatility is already moderate-to-robust; Gold which is -1.7% and Silver which is -3.5% have thus far respectively traced 152% and 137% of today’s EDTRs (see Market Ranges). At Market Trends, the Spoo is still clinging to its marginally positive linear regression uptrend; and by Market Values (in real-time) the Spoo (even -0.9% at present) is 62 points above is smooth valuation line, albeit that gap appears destined to close. For the Econ Baro which concludes its week today, metrics include December’s NY State Empire and Philly Fed Indices, November’s Retail Sales, IndProd/CapUtil, and October’s Business Inventories.
