Save for Oil, all seven other BEGOS Markets are presently above their respective Neutral Zone for today, (Oil being within same), and session volatility is moderate. Concern lies with the S&P’s MoneyFlow (see our page thereto) as despite the Index having come off Friday’s low, the Flow is net negative, certainly so on our five-day measure. By Market Rhythms for pure swing consistency, our Top Three are (on a 10-test basis) the non-BEGOS Yen’s 2hr Moneyflow, the same measure for Gold, and the Bond’s 15mn parabolics; too, (on a 24-test basis) we’ve again Gold’s 2hr Moneyflow, Copper’s 15mn MACD and Silver’s 15mn Moneyflow; (note: our S&P MoneyFlow calculation is comprehensively different from the “canned” study we use for the futures markets). Whilst the StateSide Senate could not receive enough votes last evening to end the “shutdown”, the Econ Baro still looks today to October’s NY State Empire Index, (which of course is Fed-generated rather than by a government entity). Then late in the session comes the Fed’s Tan Tome.
