StateSide equities are closed today, however the BEGOS Markets are running with early closures for both the Spoo (14:30 GMT) and Bond (18:15 GMT). At present, both the Bond and Copper aabove up their respective Neutral Zones for today; the Euro is below same, and volatility is light. Looking at Market Rhythms: on a 10-test basis, the best of the bunch are currently the Euro’s 4hr Parabolics and 15mn MACD, along with the non-BEGOS Yen’s daily Parabolics and daily Price Oscillator; the latter two also rank best on a 24-test basis. And whilst ’tis too soon to get a read on Q4 Earnings Season, of the 20 companies having thus far reported — none of which are S&P 500 constituents — 70% (14) have beaten “estimates”, but only 50% (10) have actually bettered their bottom lines from Q4 a year ago. The futs-adj’d “live” P/E of the S&P at this instant is 45.9x.
