The war again on pause is bullish for most of the BEGOS Markets in starting the week: six of the eight components are at present above today’s Neutral Zones; Oil is below same and Copper within same; session volatility is mostly moderate. The Gold Update is suggestive of the yellow metal finding a floor toward staying above 4000: currently 4098, Gold’s smooth valuation line (in real-time) is 4156 (see Market Values). Copper on Friday confirmed its “Baby Blues” of linreg consistency dropping beneath the key +80% axis (see Market Trends): thus the red metal’s trend remains up, but is weakening. As the week unfolds, we’ll be watching for the linregs of the precious metals rotating to positive and that for the Spoo to negative, even as the latter is quite firm thus far today. The Econ Baro awaits June’s Durable Orders. The FOMC’s Policy Statement comes Wednesday prior to the “Fed-favoured” PCE data on Thursday.
