The StateSide holiday elicits a two-day session (with Tuesday settle) for the GLOBEX/BEGOS Markets. Thus far we’ve both the Bond and Gold below today’s Neutral Zones, whilst above same are both the Euro and Spoo; session volatility is mostly moderate. The Gold Update cites the very firm week (+4.8%) for the yellow metal, however reminds that the weekly parabolic trend is Short. The Spoo is off to a robust start for this week (at present +1.2%); yet as suggested in Friday’s comment, by Market Trends, the Spoo’s “Baby Blues” of linreg trend consistency have now (provisionally in real-time) fallen below the key +80% axis, indicative of lower levels near-term, perhaps into the lower 5700s/5600s by price structure; indeed the Spoo by Market Values is (in real-time) +377 points above its smooth valuation line. 11 incoming metrics are due for the Econ Baro as the week unfolds, notably April’s “Fed-favoured” PCE come Friday.
